Sean Burke looks good tonight and Grant Taylor’s stuff is insane.

This always sounds good in theory but the job is to get the most talent possible within the parameters of the total bonus pool. It’s not always as easy as taking the best guy.

It’s not crazy but Thorpe belongs in here too

I think Schultz absolutely pitches in Chicago in 2025.

I’m sure it’s a possibility but they really need bats. Obviously can’t ever have enough pitching but with the restructure of the minors, Sox just don’t have innings for many more pitchers.

The White Sox think Wetherholt is a second baseman. I’d be shocked by that pick.

Erick Fedde and Padres trade return looks pretty good. I think Seattle trade will look good after the draft as well.

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
