TAMU for Miller. I was reading Gibson's scouting report, and I see he doesn't throw hard. What's his story?

Shelby Miller is asking for 4 million...no way we take him and pay him that out of the 23rd pick.

Definitely take a pitcher here, and then hope Trout/Wheeler/Williams, etc fall to 38.

QUOTE (chisox2334 @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:34 AM) As far as Josh Fields wanting some more answers from the organization about his future? "Oh, you better be careful for what you say and what you wish,'' Guillen said. "It's not my fault that we brought [Gordon] Beckham here. If [general manager] Kenny [Williams] brought Beckham here, it's because Josh Fields was not doing his job. Am I wrong? If you were playing good, I don't think we should have to do that, but I don't think he was playing the way we think he can play. Right now, we're going to give the kid [beckham] the shot, but I don't call people up, I don't do anything with the minor leagues. He was not doing what he was supposed to do and that's why they called Beckham up. Kenny didn't tell me anything about that.'' theres ur answers josh from ozzie in cowleys peice The tension between Ozzie and KW is rather obvious right now.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:34 PM) If he gets past Florida, a good chance, although with the new stadium deal he might be a good pick here, I think the Cards gobble him up. Cards are also very high on Brothers. Marlins like Arnett a bit too and the Kennesaw State boys. Cardinals would love the chance to get Brothers, as they want a LHP.

QUOTE (joejoedairy @ Jun 10, 2009 -> 12:17 AM) to the people who know these things better than me, is there a chance the sox take a high upside high school pitcher and will there even be some1 like that available. I think we have an opportunity to take some1 who might take a while to develop but could be potentially great thanks Shelby Miller might be there.

Great to see him go there. Cubs fans are going to be disappointed.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:09 PM) Arnett probably falls. Fathom, Sox have a preference of Arnett/Brothers over the outfielders. So if those guys are on the board, they take em. Not sure about scheppers but again, it wouldn't at all be the Sox MO. I also can't comment on Gibson. That's good. I feel those guys are of greater value than some of the outfielders we've been mentioned with.

AL Central having a good draft.

I'm beginning to think Sox should take a pitcher with first pick and then an outfielder with 2nd pick. Seems like someone like Williams or Fuentes could drop to the 38th pick.

Interesting, that likely moves another top player down to our pick to take.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:59 PM) After picking Weeks and trading for Cardenas last year? Some of us know what we're talking about

Cleveland would LOVE the chance to take Alex White.

Oakland going to take Green?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:56 PM) In terms of what? Gibson doesn't have high demands or anything. He's a college pitcher with a good arm. Fits right into our style. Scheppers demands haven't been ridiculous, most everyone has speculated similar to Crow's price range. Plus whoever drafts him has leverage. The injuries are a question though. I can't see the Sox giving 1st round money to these guys with HUGE injury concerns.

Ah f***...the division gets tougher.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:53 PM) If we took em, Crow/Scheppers would be stellar. Might be a prep arm that would be awesome too. I can't see the Sox taking Scheppers or Gibson. Goes against our style.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:51 PM) Rockies selected Tyler Matzek. The regime has clearly changed, in the past, they never would have taken a high money gamble like Matzek Yep, good for them

I could see KC taking Crow

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:45 PM) Turner is the top prep RHP in the country. Tigers got great value here but will have to pay a lot. The more MLB ready guys like Crow/Scheppers get past them though. The more of those guys fall, the more likely a team like the Cards takes one of them (or one of the top preps) giving the sox a shot at Brothers. Rockies want Brothers, I believe.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:42 PM) Glad they took Turner. He could be good, but I don't think he is going to be great. Played against weak competition -- very weak. Yep, I'm happy they took him over Crow or White.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 11:37 PM) I'm very happy he's not there for us to pick. He would have been a great pick at 23. I like him more than Brothers.

Terrible pick for the Reds...if you want to spend money in this draft, you can get some great talent.

I'm loving the players at the team's desk. Eric Davis, Devon White, Shawon Dunston so far.

Hobgood with some impressive video there.
