How come no one has posted a link to the NotKenWilliams twitter? That is some funny stuff right there. NotKenWilliams Kenny Williams Nastier slider: Sergio Santos or White Castle? BOTH will make you s*** your pants... #WhiteSox

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:57 PM) And I'm disagreeing with this point. If a guy has the potential to be a a starter but winds up being most useful to the franchise in a bullpen role, that's fine for a #13 pick. That's the franchise deciding that the best way to maximize his value to them is in a bullpen role. Look no further than the contracts handed out to even decent reliever, such as Jesse Crain. If you can get that in the draft, for literally 10% of the price, you have won.

MDGonzales Mark Gonzales White Sox must like that Kent St. RHP Kyle McMillen slipped to fourth round. was projected by BA to go in 1st 3 rounds.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:53 PM) So do they White Sox pick Ozney? Where is he rated at, out of curiosity?

Kyle McMillen RHP Kent State 6'2" 200 lbs

I'm all for drafting pitchers.

I honestly didn't realize that Zambrano had that option when I mentioned that as a trade idea. Scratch that. There is no way the Sox are picking up that extra year, even if they could dump the Peavy contract.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:37 PM) Good find. From my mostly untrained eye those look like pretty good mechanics. Kinda sucks that he's a Mizzou commit. One of my teams is going to miss out on this guy! He looks very right-handed Matt Thornton. Very upright and tall, then effortless.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 12:01 PM) However, it's ok to hold that fluke injury against the team when evaluating their draft performance. I won't, but many will.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:24 AM) I would f***ing destroy those mofos in bowling. Someone buy me a plane ticket. FAIL. Brent Lillibridge would just layout and rob your ball anyway. HA!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:38 AM) and now Erik Johnson. Any links on this kid? See the draft day 2 thread on the futuresox section.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:40 AM) Kinda sounds like ole Danny Wright. I was just thinking that very name.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:37 AM) whats boring about taking a SP with 4 pitches who could move quickly through the system? Isn't that something we need with ?'s like Buehrle, Peavy, Danks, Jackson, and Humber in our current rotation? I forget, who was it who was saying we needed to draft more starting pitching

imcallisBA #WhiteSox 2nd rd: California RHP Erik Johnson. Big body (6-2/240), 90-95, hard slider. #mlbdraft

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:35 AM) White Sox take RHP Eric Johnson, UC Berkley. 6'3" 240lbs Jr.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:34 AM) Wow there goes Tilson. I think that's a bit early for him, but I think that means the Cards probably think he's signable. One pick before the Sox went.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) Any chance he won't sign? we wouldn't have drafted him so high. I wouldn't be surprised if he signed really quick even.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) I have a soft spot for unathletic kids who can hit the ball and hit it hard. Adam Dunn says hi. Well at least the 2010 Adam Dunn.
