MLB ran side by side clips mirroring his delivery to one Chris Sale.

Love to see Howard, but hopefully if we go college they save a ton and get some hs talent later

Now the HS kids are going.

All colleges picks 1-7 so far.

The publicity scared them off.

Dates: Wednesday, June 10 (Round 1) | Thursday, June 11 (Rounds 2-5) Start times: 7 p.m. ET (Wednesday) | 5 p.m. ET (Thursday) TV channels: ESPN, MLB Network Live stream: ESPN app

The speculation is almost at an end, and draft day is here! Use this thread to talk about the actual draft and picks!

Good point. I will start a new one for the actual draft.

I am just thrilled to have actual baseball to talk about again. The thing I have missed more than anything the last three months is competitive sports.

We don't allow our insiders to use their real names to protect them from their hoardes of adoring fans. Screen names only.

If we are drafting him, hopefully we get a significant savings to be able to go big later in 2-5.

To try to get a player you want to drop his number to fit your draft spending plans.

He is one of the very first players I have a memory of at old Comiskey Park. Mostly because I remember someone bringing a sign to a game that said "Claudell Washington slept here"

Guys with no gap are either no ceiling high floor guys, or they are #1 picks.

If he is pushed to 2021, it is possible.

Guys with high floors and high ceilings are #1 draft picks. There aren't many of those players at all in a draft. There might be a few, tops. That is why they go off of the board so quickly. In the draft you are going to choose between more developed and limited ceilings versus lesser developed and higher ceilings.

Interesting that he is willing to play in 2020, but wants to be released for 2021. That would line up with getting into next years international class quite nicely.

Going back to 2002 for that one. Luckily the White Sox didn't get scared of drafting left handed pitching in round one after this.

Let's get it memorialized. #1 Who SHOULD they take, if available, of the players that will most likely land at 11? #2 who WILL the Sox take tomorrow? Let's hear your predictions in post form. Should take: Ed Howard Will take: Mick Abel

Real answer: Any of them.

I would hope with the knowledge that we would have a shortened spring training, that everyone is already working into game shape, even fringe guys who might be called on if the guys in front of them get hurt.

We should quit reading once we get to the highlighted part.

I get a kick out of ruffling up those who use actual Klan recruiting propaganda phrases in their posts.

Yet here you are trying to justify your world view.
