Kelley walked 3 guys and gave up 2 hits in the 1st inning. Sox starters have a 30 pitch limit per inning in minors so he was pulled.

He’s nothing like Kolek. He has a plus-plus secondary offering. Definite conditioning issues though.

I think they’ll end up with Max Muncy. If they take a college pitcher, the scouting department got overruled. I know that much.

21 draft profiles in all.

27th overall player on pipeline. If they can do Montgomery/Muncy at 22 and Petty at 57, that’s a real jolt to the system

Kiley McDaniel's latest is very interesting. Last year, he projected Garrett Crochet and Jared Kelley on the morning of the draft. This is what he has this year. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/31782968/2021-mlb-mock-draft-30-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-first-two-rounds 22. Chicago White Sox Max Muncy, SS, Thousand Oaks HS (CA), Arkansas commit I think they're hoping for Colson Montgomery and are probably his floor, but I think this pick will come down to Muncy and Joe Mack. The backup options are mostly the leftover college arms with McGreevy the only one who makes it here. Keep an eye on Cody Morissette, Andrew Abbott and some power prep arms (Painter, Jackson Baumeister, Petty, Chase Burns) at their later picks. 57. Chicago White Sox: Chase Petty, RHP, Mainland Regional HS (NJ), Florida commit

There's no reason to doubt ptatc on this. He's always been the goods on this board. Robert Murray reported that Grandal was expected to be out 5 weeks. His source is very, very close to the situation. I've heard similar to the expectation being a 4-6 week timeline still. The White Sox are just being cautious as they have been with all of their injuries. We'll see what happens I suppose.

Because I’m not teaching? I’d still do it but yes, being in July is helpful on a personal level for sure.

Nope. Expected to be about 5 weeks from what I was told today.

I think Montgomery makes it but Kath could be the backup plan

It might be tough to do with the smaller pool. If they go slot in round 1, they’ll need to punt 7-10 to go overslot at 57.

Nah it’s imperative to get younger. Those are the guys that other teams want in trades to improve the big league team. The front office is finding that out first hand right now. Younger players have more value. With that being said, if an impact starting pitcher falls to you, they have to consider it at 22.

I think the scouting department wants to go prep-prep and then load up on college arms throughout. I'm just not sure what KW and Hahn ultimately do when impact college pitching is sitting there instead.

I've added a few more profiles. We're running Michael McGreevy tomorrow and Wes Kath on Friday. I think Wes Kath could be the pick.

Great Falls probably would've been the sweet spot for him.

James McCann wasn't an option to return. He wanted to leave. Why are we still doing this?

Disagree. At full strength, the Sox are as good as anyone.

The plan is to add. No idea if this changes things.

If Grandal can make it back by September, the White Sox are fine. They'll win this shitty division regardless. If it's a season ender though, they probably can't win a title anymore

Low dollar signing but you never know

This isn’t really what Heyman said fwiw. Filiponi isn’t correct. Sox aren’t trading Vaughn.

AZL played already today. Cristian Mena is a sleeper in the system. Struck out 8 over 5 IP. Wilfred Veras (3B) and the cousin of Tatis had 3 hits in AZL win.

Cespedes has a shoulder injury of some variety. He’s being held out of outfield work for that reason but they wanted him to get at-bats as soon as the Visa issue cleared. Seems fairly minor.

I've added a few more this week. Probably 4-5 more before the draft on Sunday 7/11

Joey Gallo is the best fit IMO. He'd be so perfect.
