Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 4s4 seconds ago Looking like Vanderbilt's Carson Fulmer is going to the White Sox with the eighth pick.

Scot Gregor ‏@scotgregor 24s24 seconds ago ChiSox on draft clock and Vanderbilt RHP Carson Fulmer is sitting there. Should be pick, with prep C Tyler Stephenson the wild card

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 06:50 PM) JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 8s8 seconds ago OK confirmed Benintendi going to Red Sox here. Which to me means Fullmer to White Sox, unless they go crazy for Stevenson.

That leaves two of Fullmer, Stevenson, or Benintendi for the White Sox.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) So much f***ing this. We've never had this in years past. It's ridiculous. We have always done it this way... Rumors, tweets, etc all are fair game here. That is the point.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 06:43 PM) What about the people who want to know the picks as they're announced and also discuss them? You are in the wrong place.

If you don't want to know draft picks, quit reading a thread about draft picks!

White Sox will have a choice between two of Benintendi, Jay, Fullmer, and Stevenson.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 05:22 PM) Keep going with pitching until proven otherwise. We never develop any hitting. Wait for someone like Hawkins or Anderson to come up and do damage. Yeah, do what you are good at. If you end up with too much pitching, you trade it for hitting.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 04:45 PM) Not with the current condition of Jo's knees can he be a good point forward. Typically after a surgery like that it isn't the year you come back, but the year after that when a player gets back to normal.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 02:28 PM) Not to mention Beckham wasn't a reach at all. Sox have drafted pretty well past few years (although still extremely early to really say that but we've clearly drafted well in the 1st couple of rounds). The Sox were actually fearful that someone who take him ahead of them

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) At least in the 0's, we had the philosophy of taking the guy close to the big leagues because they could contribute faster or be traded faster. That ended us up with broadway & mccullough. For all we know that might have been part of the reason why we got 3-year-college player Jared Mitchell instead of that other OF named Mike who went a couple slots later. And since you brought up Beckham, that hits on the "rush them up to the big leagues as fast as humanly possible" philosophy that permeates this team's minor leagues and whether that's been as effective as it needs to be too. Talking about Mitchell is about the same as saying the Yankees shouldn't draft lefty pitchers because of Brein Taylor. We have no idea what the injury did to his career, but we know losing two years of true development marked a turning point in his career.

QUOTE (Whitewashed in '05 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 02:06 PM) Wait, this has nothing to do with Gene Honda right? No, Honda is the public address announcer. This is another one of those "appealing to young people" things.

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 01:33 PM) who would want a broken down Noah? loldrose: https://vine.co/v/eM0vW3QPnAb Rose immediately declared himself OUT for the summer.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 06:26 PM) Not to mention the Angels and Yankees are in desperate need for young blood offensively...and the Yankees also lost out in the Moncada sweepstakes, that didn't sit well with many. I believe he would have to sign by June 15, or wait until July 2. Time is running out for the Angels and Yankees.
