Seems like nowadays no mans land is increasingly bigger. Basically every playoff team that is not GS or Cleveland is wasting their time.

Jake Adams just went, I think there was a hawkeye on the board that really wanted us to get him.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 02:27 PM) So according to this, the Sox just drafted two very similar-valued pitcher 2 rounds apart. preseason I guess perfect game had Henzman and Mclure as #96 and #97 for top 100 college players.

was hoping we somehow got brady mcconnell this round.

I like all of the picks so far, just surprised at the makeup of the class as a whole.

Agnostic comment, but I think these selections indicate we did not save much if any money from our first 2 picks.

draft tyler johnson, closer of USC (south carolina). Touches 99 and a slider that touches 85. Thoughts he could be a starter due to athleticism. Right hander.

Sox up edit: now this is true.

Buddy Kennedy, from mike Trout's high school, just went

A guy from a st louis university I have never heard of just went in round 5. First d3 pick ever from webster college.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:16 PM) That was a different guy. Sox were speculatively planning Henzman for the third round a few weeks back. Henzman had a tough finish to the year at Louisville. Sox love them some Louisville kids though. Sorry, must have got mixed up. Remember you mentioning sox scouts again being all over louisville.

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Cutter: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45 Grades from Callis/Mayo His write up is very favorable with the low ranking due to assumed reliever. If they move him to starter he is intriguing as hell to me. Reported very good at preventing home runs by "blitzing the bottom of the zone" (callis' words with blitzing the zone) Plus change and good fastball. Improving slider. Sounds like a guy that could be really fun with a cutter.

This was a reliever rumored to the sox at pick 2 by rabbit

Lincoln Henzman - University of Louisville RHP

On the clock

Sorry 3 away, Brewers just picked Mundelein HS guy Brendan Murphy

Vandy 3b Will Toffey fyi is off board. Mentioned to sox sometimes.

2 away now. Angels/Rox/sox

Who is Tilson? Sounds like a mythical character, certainly couldn't be a white sox.

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) Danny Mendick; brain fart I was just looking at that draft. Sox got pretty surprising production in rounds 20 and 21 with Mendick and Landon lassiter.

Lots of catchers going in round 3.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:33 PM) Our organizational position player depth continues to be bolstered with the additions of Robert, Burger, Sheets and now Gonzalez I'd like some arms added to the system in the next few picks though Also Hostetler mentioned lots that they wanted more prep players this year to even out our org. Not the case so far.

So the only names I actually know are Alex Scherff and Montes De Oca at this point.

He sounds like Alex Call to me.
