Whenever this 1st round ends, anybody here have a favorite they'd like to see the sox pick tomorrow?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Surprised Pearson isn't gone. Guess that workout stuff was overblown. Just went to Toronto.

Avi doing Avi things with the bat.

Brendon Little to Cubs.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:41 PM) Just got home from playing basketball, what's the overall opinion on the Jake pick? 70% liked it for an underslot. 20% hated it and wanted White/Bukauskas/etc. 10% are indifferent.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) How'd the selection go over on here? Everyone overreact to a player they havent watched? I like Burger alot so I was good with it.

Wow. Nationals just picked Seth Romero.

Jeren Kendall to Dodgers. Great call there fathom.

Fathom, there goes your boy Warmoth to Blue Jays.

DL Hall to Baltimore.

David Peterson to Mets.

I wonder how far Kendall falls now.

Sounds like Hostetler likes Burger alot at 3B.

White to Seattle at #17. That's gonna be a fun follow/reminder with some people here....

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:46 PM) I still think he looks like Josh Fields Fields was a better hitter in college actually average wise. Burger has shown more power and a lower K rate than Fields.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Love having a good farm It's like nailing a hot chick way out of your league. It's too good to be true... but it's happening.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:37 PM) Word. Wonder if there are medical concerns that haven't leaked? Quite odd. Ah. He's gone now Dirty. Astros... Hey Houston... we'll take him plus others for Quintana.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) Where does Burger slot in terms of our top ten prospects? 6th-10th range maybe? The top 3 are obvious (Moncada, Kopech, Robert). After that, you can throw Collins, Giolito, Lopez, Burger, Hansen in any order. Wow.. I've been a part of this board, FutureSox, etc for a long time and I've never been as excited about our system as I am now.

I know there are mixed views on posters here who are pro and con Bukauskas, but I can't believe he hasn't been picked yet. Almost steal range now.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) Brian Bilek @BrianBilek_ · 5m Industry source on Burger - "Poor hips, will get beat inside with velo. 1B/DH type." Put up a Kevin Millar player comp. #WhiteSox #MLBDraft Kevin Millar?? I'll gladly take Kevin Millar.

QUOTE (TheFutureIsNear @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) Hopefully he's underslot and we can gamble and overpay a high school athlete to sign in round 2. That would pretty much be ideal for me I would think that is the plan.

Wow Miami picks Rogers. Bukauskas is slipping.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:24 PM) Burger was a Sox fan growing up. Awesome. That's actually pretty cool.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:18 PM) I made a joke about that in one of the FS threads. Last year we drafted Jameson, this year Burger and with the way the Sox are playing this year we may add a Beer to that menu next year. Sox also have Jace Fry in the system as well.

I like Jake Burger alot. A bit of a reach/underslot but I love his potential. Also fits the OBP theme Hostetler wants.
