Great work from Ben Badler on White Sox international class: https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/chicago-white-sox-2024-international-review/

They won’t be making the $6.5-$7 million they’d get at 5 overall, that’s for sure

I’m sure there are some college guys who they won’t pass on. I’m just not sure who that is. McDaniel had them taking Smith today and also noted that they’d likely take any of Condon, Bazzana, Cags or Burns as well.

I’m not a fan at all of taking Cags. I hope they don’t do that. Law linked them though. Rainer is a top 10 guy in the class No but he’s a first baseman I hope it’s pitching or an up the middle athlete

Need a major infusion of bats in the draft.

I’m worried too. I remember Brendan McKay being can’t miss The only corner profile I’d take at 5 is Condon Burns, Smith, Griffin or Rainer for me. If all 4 are gone, you run in the card with Condon.

In Mock Draft 1.0 for Kiley McDaniel he has Sox taking Hagen Smith and said they’d likely take any of the 4 players who went ahead of him as well: Condon, Bazzana, Burns and Caglianone.

This isn’t true at all. He could convert to relief and his stuff would be incredible in that role if he can’t start

Projected for plus potential. Looked great at NHSI. @Harold's Leg Liftwould know better than me but I didn’t include high school stats for a reason.

I projected the first five rounds for the White Sox at FutureSox today. Here it is: https://www.futuresox.net/2024/05/28/2024-5-round-mock-draft-white-sox/

I published Mock Draft 2.0 at FutureSox today: https://www.futuresox.net/2024/05/27/2024-mlb-mock-draft-2-0/

Should me Taylor for Kanny as well

Why would they do that? I’m expecting a shortstop, power or pitching.

They’ll still get quite a bit for Kopech

2B only. Just better players with more upside available

I’d be shocked if they took a 2B. They’ve been all over Griffin and Rainer. Cags and Montgomery are probably the college options.

I’d be very surprised if the White Sox took Wetherholt

I’ve never really gotten a straight answer on this

Nothing would surprise me but Chris Getz has spoken behind the scenes and publicly about changing their international strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised if they moved on. Either way, most players are already committed for 2025, 2026 and 2027. He has the same title as Jim Thome

He did well in the Dylan Cease trade

Yeah I listened that day too. That’s not what I was referring to about your post. Nevermind

I think you're hearing what you want to hear.

He's a good producer. That's the best radio show in the city and that's not really fair criticism. You can "not like it" but Matt Spiegel has talked baseball in Chicago for like two decades and Danny Parkins is one of the best radio hosts in the country. I don't think Shane should've went after Schriffen publicly because the hosts can handle it on air however. The Sox already don't let many of their employees go on because they're short-sighted and run their business like Larry's Corner Hardware Store. I will say though, 670 talks way more Sox than 1000 does and has better guests doing so. This isn't true. Everyone was rooting for Connor. Schriffen came on the station though and both parties were very courteous. Nobody wants John Schriffen to be bad at this. He just is. He's doing what Reinsdorf wants ultimately though. Hiring a guy who should be Slamball to do baseball every day in market 3 is pretty embarrassing though. Sports radio is still pretty popular here.

The trade is fine. Holy cow. Corey Julks is outfield depth for a bad team and Luis Rodriguez is nothing. Just pretend it was cash instead. Everything is okay.

I would think $7 million is realistic for sure
