Does KW pick someone like E. Williams if he's there at 38?

IIRC, Willis made Thome look silly last year.

How many times can the Cubs face Moehler this year? Only 6 hits in the first inning for them tonight.

Very nice, thanks!

I've seen this before. Unreal how awful our ability is to do damage in the first inning.

Way to chase ball 4 Alexei.

Comparing Mitchell's athletic ability to that of Field's is like comparing Thornton's fastball Whisler's.

What in the hell is wrong with Ozzie? Is it too much to give these kids some encouragement? We absolutely need a new manager if we go into rebuilding mode.

Alexei has no idea how to turn the DP from the SS position.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:07 AM) f*** no, this guy is a project. His high BB walk this year is promising, but he needs some serious refinement to his game. His swing needs a lot of work, he doesn't get good reads on fly balls, and his arm is average at best... I could handle this pick if Brothers wasn't still on the board, but you don't pass up a pitcher with Brothers stuff for a huge project like Mitchell. Considering he'll be playing LF, I think he'll be a plus defender out there with his range.

It will be a lot more fun rooting for him in the minors than it would a pitcher (for us box score followers).

Sox select probably the best athlete in the draft, and it's a huge mistake. This coming from people who have either never seen him play, or at most seen 15 of his AB's. I predicted this last night. People would freak out initially, but then they'd come around to like it after Carl Crawford comparisons.

At least we can watch him in the College World Series.

It's fine, the panel for MLB Network likes the pick. I don't mind it, Mitchell has huge potential to give us something we've lacked.

Wow, I knew it! For the last month, I've been saying Mitchell.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:52 AM) Just watch, I've been spot on all draft and this is the pick I'll miss. The one where I have inside info, haha. Things are going to get interesting on here if it's not one of the pitchers.

Wow...AL Central with some superb picks.

Jason, how confident are you that Sox like Brothers/Arnett more than the outfielders?

Very nice...I want a pitcher and then root like hell for Mitchell/Williams/Trout to fall.

Ga Tech faces the best competition in NCAA, and Rex had the best stuff of anyone they faced all year.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:47 AM) This is awesome, cause I think there is a good outfielder there at 38. I love Brothers and the Sox like him too. He's our guy, barring the Astros or Twins gaffing it. Yep, I think Mitchell falls to 38

Booya!

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:39 AM) Gibson gets up to 94-95. Miller is going to the Cards, Brothers will go to the Jays. Arnett will be there when the Sox pick and will be there selection, unless the Twins take him. Nicely done...BA blog?
