fathom

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:55 PM) He's such a snarky bastard. Stone mentioned yesterday that Robert, by consensus of the industry, would be a top 3 pick. Law was saying this four months ago

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:35 PM) Sox are and have been in on Bukauskas. At this time, he seems like the back up to me. Sox have hopes of how the draft shakes out in front of them and don't seem to be married to anyone at this point. Just a guess but their dream is one of Beck or Haseley to fall to them

Welp, Law thinks JB will be a reliever

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:22 PM) Today's KLaw chat Jim - Chicago3:06Hi Keith- Bukauskas seems to give you less reservations than other similar "short" RHP draft prospects in recent years. Am I interpreting that correctly and, if so, is their something in his delivery that might eventually get him some plane on his fastball? Keith Law3:06No, I have the same reservations - lack of FB plane, doesn't use lower half in his delivery - but this class is weaker than most. And just said he's had someone tell him the Sox like JB

I don't see how the Sox take Kendall with the strikeout comments being made

Fwiw, Piliere loves Pavin Smith's swing

KLaw says Sox aren't in on Warmoth

Piliere doing live chat. Says Arizona loves the uva guys and probably won't take JB

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 05:03 PM) Same. It just seems like these types are already way too close to their ceilings on draft day, nearly every time. There are some exceptions, of course, but I'm not seeing anything to suggest that Smith/White look like those exceptions. But with someone like Smith, a change from the UVa conservative philosophy could boost his power

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 05:02 PM) I don't think he "clearly" has to move to the OF just because he won't hit a lot of HRs. It would be refreshing to see a good bat, great glove 1B in the Sox system, and there is literally not a single prospect in his way through the ranks. And let's face it, even a slightly above average Major League position player is better than what most of the roster has been the last five years

Lots of guessing on the Sox pick. Not really seeing draft experts say they "love" anyone like you see with a lot of other teams

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:21 PM) White also has ties to places the Sox love- he's from Ohio and plays for Kentucky. I know Laumann isn't the guy anymore but just sayin. The second he got drafted, he would be best defensive player in the organization

Bukauskas 1st round Drew Ellis 2nd Skoug 3rd

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:10 PM) Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 14m Race for #1 pick is not over. #Twins giving serious late consideration to taking Royce Lewis. Down to the wire on him & McKay #MLBDraft Someone with twitter should ask Frankie about the WSox

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) I believe Smith is considered to have a slightly better hit tool and more power projection. White is so much more athletic though and could realistically be an asset in a corner OF spot. I really like White. I've seen people suggest Smith could add power. Don't forget UVa is a huge park

Bukauskas projected to the Sox by Mayo and Callis

Callis mentioning possible deals at 4 and 5 for high schoolers

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:51 AM) I want to believe... Twins - Wright Reds - Greene Padres - Gore Rays - McKay Braves - Lewis A's - Beck D-backs - Smith Phillies - Faedo Brewers - Adell Angels - Bukauskas White Sox - Haseley Been thinking that also.

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:28 AM) People don't *seriously* expect Robles in a trade for Robertson, right? Nope and Soto probably a pipe dream also

Glover to the DL. Nats have to do something

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 11:09 PM) Why does anyone expect Rodin to do anything but struggle? He had no spring training and is coming back from an arm injury, it takes time, In no way was I referring to Rodon with the struggling comment. I'm just happy he's throwing lefty now despite the offseason amputation

Kopech couldn't finish 4 innings

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 11, 2017 -> 08:32 PM) Kopech with 4 walks already... Not the greatest day for the young Sox rebuilding core

Yoan just having a hell of a hard time collecting hits
