What an odd move for the Mets if this materializes. Woof.

Wasn't there someone during the season vehemently claiming that Clarkin was a better prospect than Dane Dunning?

Hahn asleep at the wheel again.

This is an odd thread.

The White Sox might need to field a second team for all these free agents they are going to sign.

Basabe should be top 10. Fine with the Collins/Hansen omission.

Fathom is capable of happy? ?

I've slowly grown to detest his contributions to Sox Machine. Josh Nelson is borderline. Kinda wish it was still just Jim who is, and always has been excellent.

Good to hear something positive about Burdi. I'm in full agreement with Law on Adams. He's just filler at this point until he starts to strike people out.

Why would the Sox be making a play for a player that has one year of team control left?

The Witt profile is just a few posts up. Stewart isn't in either the College or High School lists. I reckon it's because he isn't draft eligible unless he ends up in Juco ball, which isn't confirmed yet?

Yup. If you want an up the middle prep talent, Abrams fits the White Sox development profile much more than Witt. Abrams question is the power, not the hit tool.

Carlos Correa savings into Lance McCullers was a big one in 2012 for the Astros. While it might not seem like it now, Correa was a bit of a reach and a surprise for 1-1 at the time.

Huh? Dude is a local who went to Homewood-Flossmoor and grew up a White Sox fan.

CJ Abrams. Posted some publications notes on him in the 2019 draft thread.

Agreed. I'm in favor of just using the all-encompassing 2019 Draft Thread. The rest feel redundant.

11:58 2nd pick: Abrams, Jones or Witt Jr. Right now, who ya got and why? 11:59 Kiley McDaniel: Abrams, then Greg Jones then Witt, but close enough that could flip by April. Discussed this a lot in podcast #3 and there’s timestamps so you can jump right to it: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/fangraphs-audio-presents-the-untitled-…

11:56 WSox: With the #3 pick the Chicago White Sox select CJ Abrams. 11:56 Kiley McDaniel: Sure, I could see that

Going to treat this one as the official draft thread I suppose? Via Kiley Chat today. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-10-1-18/ 11:28 Draft20/80: Who helped themselves the most on the cape this year? Vaughan? 11:28 Kiley McDaniel: That’s Cal 1B Andrew Vaughn. He was already gonna be top 20 if he skipped the summer, so he didn’t gain that much ground. Here’s our draft rankings for reference 11:28 Kiley McDaniel: UNC RF/1B Michael Busch made some ground, working into that top tier of corner bats when it wasn’t clear he was tehre 11:29 Kiley McDaniel: Vandy RF JJ Bleday, Stanford RF/1B Kyle Stowers and Creighton RF Will Robertson all showed better than was expected and made some money on the Cape

Way to go boys!

Gogo draft pick!
