Chances the Sox say they would have taken him #1?

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:26 AM) If we did this draft round 100 times this would be in my bottom quartile for sure. True and that's why slot position is so vital

Pretty simple, I think Sox have a better chance to develop Burger than they did Kendall

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:16 AM) Burger must be signing way under slot to be picked at 11. Why he's been projected in the teens

Estimated time before Burger's back injury

QUOTE (Dam8610 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:14 AM) Well they did say they wanted a college bat, just figured they'd go for the athletic guy over the corner IF that's likely to end up at 1B. As long as he can hit, I don't care where he plays

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:13 AM) It's Jake Burger Wow cool. Wasn't impressed but it makes sense

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:58 PM) Could help the Sox for the position player hunt. Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 · 20s #Angels looking like a potential landing spot for JB Bukauskas. He's sliding a bit but they've been on him and are a solid fit Makes sense, they desperately need pitching even after they trade Trout for Giolito and Fulmer

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:52 PM) Wacha was definitely in the group hate category. Some on here loved Nevin Griffith

Judge, Severino and Rutherford for Q would have been awful...ugh

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:23 PM) If that is the case, sign me up for Hiura before any of these first basemen. Yep and then we can trade Moncada and Kopech for Sale since 2nd will be covered

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:01 PM) Just remember, being excited that the white sox won has no bearing about whether they win or lose on the field. Never said it did, it just frustrates me when some people don't get the philosophy behind tanking

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:59 PM) Have to think the Sox are looking at: Haseley, Beck, Bukauskas...but none of them might be on the board for us. Bukauskas I'm not a big fan of, as I think he ends up being a reliever due to his small size and high effort delivery Smith doesn't excite me as a 1B/DH only prospect Just remember, every meaningless regular season win counts

Kendall stock plummeting? https://mobile.twitter.com/FPiliereD1/statu...369957898977280

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:54 PM) So today he is 20, will turn 21 in August. Even if you assume he loses a full year, seems like it isn't something that should hold you back if you truly believe in him as a hitter. Look at Jeff Hoffman at this point. Think there are some teams that wished they would have taken him earlier? Agreed completely

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:53 PM) Don't take it to the bank but I think the Sox want one of the UVA guys/Beck and Bukasukas is in play as well. No Kendall?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:50 PM) The interview I read with him said that his doctors told him he doesn't need TJS. Not sure everyone believes that. Might be wishful thinking by him

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:48 PM) I do find it kind of interesting as I was kind of amazed how much time Blake Hickman lost to his TJS. Because he had it in late june/early july he basically lost 2 years And who knows about using the new method that some have had done that was a super fast return

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:47 PM) Why would that matter? Just wondering what timeframe is for a 2nd baseman who gets TJS?

Question....if you draft Hiura now, any chance he's healthy by May of next year if he gets TJS right away?

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:41 PM) If that happens take Hiura, White, or Burger... my preference would be in that order. Getting Hiura as a worst case is a pretty good thing IMO. If I read it correctly, either Piliere or Law said he's a better hitter than Senzel, Swanson and Bregman out of college

I think Beck to Oakland is a lock

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:31 PM) Yap. But Law hates the White Sox don't you know? Can the draft thread please not turn into another Keith Law thread? Sox will take JB and he will say he's a future reliever and Sox fans will hate KLaw

In Piliere final mock top ten, he has a worst case scenario with the following being drafted: - Haseley - Beck - McKay - Greene - Adell - Wright - Bukauskas - Gore - Smith - Lewis
