Ben Hansen hasn’t worked for the Sox in years. Try to keep up.

In the latest from Kiley McDaniel, he has the White Sox taking California prep SS Billy Carlson. He also notes that Carlson, Parker or Doyle would likely be the pick if available. He also linked them to prep shortstop Steele Hall. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/45532575/2025-mlb-mock-draft-20-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-first-round-picks I think there's a tier of 10 players at the top College Lefties: Kade Anderson, Liam Doyle and Jamie Arnold Prep Righty (Best Player in the Class): Seth Hernandez Prep Infielders: Ethan Holliday, Eli Willits, Jojo Parker and Billy Carlson College Bats: Aiva Arquette and Ike Irish Would the White Sox take the player who is left or pivot to the next tier? Steele Hall, Kyson Witherspoon or the secondary college bats like Gavin Kilen and Summerhill. I'm not really sure. I'm hoping that the five college guys go in front of them.

Miguel Vargas?

He’s been really good since switching to the torpedo bat. Solid defender but I’m just not sure how much impact he’ll have offensively. He’ll make the majors but I’m not expecting a regular

I’d be shocked if they took Tyler Bremner. He doesn’t get much extension and that’s a big Bannister thing. Steele Hall makes a lot of sense though and would likely be a discount.

Pallette is really struggling with the baseball in AAA. He should be in the big leagues. There’s no reason for him to be in Charlotte.

He's a second baseman, yes.

I still pay for internet but there was no world for me where Comcast Cable was cheaper than Youtube TV while also paying for Netflix, HBO, Prime and Disney as well etc.

Oh gotcha. There's no reason for anyone to pay for Comcast cable anymore so I didn't realize that. Don't know why anyone would willingly do that in 2025.

Where is the $500 per year number coming from? The app is $30 monthly.

I was totally against this but Bannister did a great job elaborating on their plan. It makes sense.

He was on their Area Codes Team in high school. Threy know him well as a Wisconsin prep. I'm not a fan of taking a second baseman though and he hasn't done well with wood bats.

Which college?

I’m just not sure they’ll take a non shortstop here. Hopefully Carlson falls to them.

Yep. I’m pretty surprised by this but it’s fun. Yes. It’s basically 13 pitchers and 13 position players for everyone now.

He wasn’t promoted too quickly

There’s no truth to any of that. Post reputable sources.

Not anywhere close to what they’d make as a first rounder.

That’s who I mocked. A legit shortstop who can hit and really run. Not many of those guys in this class.

Here’s my mock draft 1.0 for FutureSox: https://www.futuresox.net/2025/06/02/2025-major-league-baseball-mock-draft/

That was the best offer they had for Cease by a lot too. Should they have waited on that one?

It wasn't what was right though. Waiting made sense. It hasn't worked out.

Chris Getz would've been eviscerated if he traded Robert in his first winter on the job. They wouldn't have gotten close to enough. It made sense to wait. It hasn't worked out.

Disagree. What do you think someone gives up for 4 years of Luis Robert after a 5 WAR season? More than they'd give up now for sure but I doubt it would've been enough to not wait.

Houston is too imo. I'd still prefer a shortstop.
