Finally got a chance to dig into Sheets a bit and boy do I love what I'm seeing. That kids swing is a thing a beauty. Really would enjoy watching him get 500abs for 6 years and hope he pans out.

Potential nicknames that come to mind while watching that video...

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:23 PM) What punishment did he serve? Did he do any jail time? Some community service, therapy, and being on the offender list. No jail time.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:49 PM) Injury flared up again. Not throwing for now https://mobile.twitter.com/CSNHayes/status/...371948683440128 Call me not surprised

Strange draft... it'll be interesting to see how they play out and develop.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:04 PM) Anyone here wanna fill a n00b like me in on this term "arm bar" -- haven't heard it before Burger. This is a good article... http://www.efastball.com/hitting/arm-bar-is-it-good-or-bad/

Anyone here wanna fill a n00b like me in on this term "arm bar" -- haven't heard it before Burger.

What's the deal with this Sam Carlson kid? He must not be singable due to a strong college commitment or something?

We got Ben Sheets?? In 2017 somehow none the less.... awesome. Hope he pitches well still after that time travel he must have completed.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:47 PM) Sox have two bats at the top of their list right now and an agreement for a pitcher if the bats don't make it. Nugget time Mr. Scoop. Solid!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:43 PM) Yep great draft so far for them Reds and Twins killing it too... more examples as to illustrate why we should lose more games.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:30 PM) There you go to all my fans. ?

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:59 PM) Whenever this 1st round ends, anybody here have a favorite they'd like to see the sox pick tomorrow? I thought that they do the second round today as well - no?

Regarding Burger - there where some here about a year or so ago who wanted him. At that time he was projected as a higher pick. He's got a chance to be solid. Considering how the picks above us unfolded, it's a fine pick. Just glad the didn't go for Bukauskas.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:45 PM) Remember when the entire draft lasted like 5 hours with each pick in rapid succession over teleconference? That s*** was the best. I know it's obvious but this is the craziest made-for-tv bulls*** in sports, worse that the Super Bowl. They took something great and turned it into a 3 day "event" for no f***ing reason, 99.999% of the baseball fans out there have no idea who these guys are beyond maybe the first 15 top players, there's zero reason to spread this s*** out over 3 days. Who's watching MLB Network day 3? f***ing hell this is stupid. Feel any better?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:22 PM) I wanted Lux with the Burdi pick...but I also wanted Rutherford with the Collins pick. Yup... I was on the Rutherford train too. If Collins can be a Adam Dunn with good D at catcher I'll be happy with it... think Rutherford will be an All-Star someday. Someway I hope he still winds up on the south side.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 06:04 PM) I wonder how far Kendall falls now. How funny would it be if we had him already signed at 49... don't at all think for a second it's happening or could happen... but living on Mars that'd be cool.

Burger was par for my personal order though I slightly preferred White. All in all I'm happy with it and hope he works out. It wasn't too long ago that Burger was looked at as a top of the class pick, about this time last year. He's got a lot to like

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) I haven't seen them linked to Beck but I might have missed it. Buzz with them is college bat or pitcher. I think if the above scenario played out he would be there for the White Sox. Fingers crossed. God I hope so

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:45 PM) Jim Callis @jimcallisMLB · 1m Still uncertain McKay or Lewis to @Twins at 1. Starting to think Wright 5 to @Braves, which could mean Hiura 6 to @Athletics. @MLBDraft Not quite sure where Beck would be popped in this scenario. Brewers? White Sox? Under that senecio i would guess Phillies

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:28 PM) Wright falling to the Phils. From 1 to 8 in 24 hours... gotta love draft day :lol

QUOTE (maxjusttyped @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:20 PM) I can't think of a logical argument against this. It would certainly make the draft more exciting. No joke, right!

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:59 PM) Makes sense, they desperately need pitching even after they trade Trout for Giolito and Fulmer

QUOTE (MnSoxFan @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) Barnum now 0-14 with 9 Ks in 3 games after being recalled. My god. Wow. A lot of us could likely do that or better

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:48 PM) Judge, Severino and Rutherford for Q would have been awful...ugh
