Chicago White Sox

Kelley hopes still alive!

Who other than the Orioles could take a big over-slot guy in front of us?

Tigers finally on the clock!

Kelley, Dingler, Fulton - Give me on of those three and I will be happy.

Come down to Nashville and you can!

1 minute until round 2 starts! Jared Kelley here we come! Give me some of that “now” body!!

The Sox actually did straighten Hansen out, but clearly there is a mental aspect causing him to revert back to form. I think the Sox did about as well as they could with him.

All of those are reaches for a Sale comparison.

Who are the other two?

Probably not, but we'll have a good idea if he's underslot after our 2nd rounder tomorrow.

Well sure, I definitely consider catcher to be up the middle, but that’s a very unique spot for obvious reasons. 2B I simply value a less than SS & CF because there is typically less fall back when it comes to positional flexibility. IMO, our system needs more athletes that aren’t pigeon-holed to one position potentially. That’s all I was getting at.

Perhaps unfairly, but I’m considering up the middle to be SS / CF primarily.

That’s fair but at some we need to start investing in some up the middle talent. Outside of Robert, most of our resources the past few years have gone to corner type players and pitchers.

Pipeline & Fangraphs both had Howard higher rated.

I’m willing to give a physically talented Midwest kid a bit more rope with their hit tool.

I like Howard as much as anyone, but let’s see how the rest of the draft goes. If Crotchet is below slot, it’s very likely we come out with a high-end talent in the 2nd.

Because he’s a high-end talent plus a local kid. I wouldn’t have passed on him personally.

If the Cubs draft Howard I will die. Edit: I’m dead...FML

Technically they taught Hansen command, he just forgot the following season.

Oh fuck, it’s happening?! Ed Howard!!!!

What if Howard tells them he ain’t coming cheap and he forces his way to 11?

Come on Angels, times are tough and you should definitely punt that pick!!

If Detmers is there, don’t see the Sox passing on him.

Motherfucker, is this official??

Detmers, Abel, or Crotchet. Pick your poison... You will be missed Howard.
