They 100% will punt a few picks. I expect a high ceiling prep bat and hopefully a prep arm or two. The depth of the high school pitching is very good in this class.

It's totally the play, and I'm sure he gets it conceptually, but I feel like we get a punting rant every draft class. I think he just likes to play it straight maybe?

Oh no. You are going to summon @GreenSox.

Glad you're back. Feel free to poke around the other draft thread as well. Lots of good info there.

I'm with Ray on this one. Not sure Getz has the nuts to trade off what looks like a dominant high leverage arm for a haul though. Especially while in the midst of a competitive season (so far). If they still think starting is in the plan, hold.

What?

Yay!

From the White Sox Top 30 Update article BA posted this morning. Already shared the Shelton and Pierce George portions in a previous post. Capturing the others here. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2026-chicago-white-sox-top-30-prospects-may-update/

Yea. Changing my private DNS also allowed me to access on Mobile now. Give it a shot if you haven't.

Gonzo bomb lol.

That's good to know on Bergolla. They sure made it sound like his injury wasn't major, then bam gone for 5 weeks. He looked good in his brief start to the season and is an up arrow guy. Hope he's back in Charlotte soon.

Same. When on my phone's mobile connection it pulls up an old cached version of the site from before the season started.

That's in jest right?

Maybe time to start considering Lackey in the draft. With Teel's recent propensity for ouchies might be best to not have him play one of the most demanding positions on the diamond. Though I don't know what you do with him in that scenario.

No shot he can play CF. That 40 run isn't it. It's actually kind of surprising he can play a cromulent SS, but he makes it work to an extent.

More from the BA chat.

From today's BA hot sheet chat. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/hot-sheet-mlb-prospects-chat-5-18-26/

Over-Slot Mock 3.0. Will share the top 10. https://overslotbaseball.com/mock-drafts/mlb-draft-mock-draft-3/

Scouting report on Pierce George who jumped from unranked to 16th. He wasn't on my radar at all.

Top 20 from the new top 30 at BA. Will note previous ranks in parenthesis. Jacob Gonzalez is ranked 23rd. Was previously 25th for those wondering. Seems criminally low. I also think Gabe Davis is far too low. He's a top 10 guy for me.

BA has a new top 30 out for all organizations. Shelton is a notable riser going from unranked entirely to number 11. They call him out in the 10 notable rising prospects list amongst all clubs. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/10-notable-risers-from-may-2026-top-30-prospects-updates/ Here's his scouting report on the top 30 list. They note a possibility of a corner OF future which would be nice with the absolute glut of infielders this organization has stumbled into.

As one would expect, Gonzo on the hot sheet. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/ranking-the-20-hottest-mlb-prospects-hot-sheet-5-18-26/
