Eric Longenhagen Eric Longenhagen @longenhagen 2m Two more dingers for Trevor Larnach today. One to left, one to right.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 01:40 PM) Not a criticism of the askers! You usually have no idea if your question will get answered or what else has been asked when you submit. I mainly mean that I find the notion of passing on a player like Bohm because Jake Burger exists is quite silly.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 12:44 PM) I find this exchange kinda funny: PTown 12:54 Would you be shocked if the White Sox took Bohm with the 4th pick even though they drafted Burger last year? Kiley McDaniel 12:54 Nope because that would be smart and not taking Bohm for that reason would be stupid dominik 1:37 should the white sox really consider bohm? I know usually you should go BPA but the sox already have like a million corner bats in their system and really lack up the middle (middle IF, CF) talent. Kiley McDaniel 1:37 They aren't all gonna hit, trade the leftovers when you find the good ones. Pitchers will always be available in trades wait wait, but are the white sox REALLLLY considering bohm??? Unfortunately I feel like both of those questions originated from this board.

Okay I have too much work to do and there are too many solid draft questions. Done updating my post today!

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Apr 11, 2018 -> 10:45 AM) He projects to have enormous power potential. Plus, he can probably stay at 3B. I think almost every scout thinks he's more likely to stick there than Burger was even before the injury. The only thing he is bad at apparently is getting his feet in bad position on throws sometimes, which shouldn't be too hard to fix in the minors. Yea. I'm seeing a lot of optimism at him being able to stick at 3rd lately. Though I'd imagine he'd never be a huge asset at the hot corner.

QUOTE (WBWSF @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 08:52 PM) Last year I heard thru the grapevine that Hahns contract was going to be expired. I really thought he wouldn't be renewed. turns out I was wrong. But I really thought Hahn wouldn't be back. I figured afte 5 years of the team being "Mired In Mediocrity" he would be gone. I remember when Larry Himes was the GM for a few years. He drafted well and made some good trades and the team won 94 games in 1990. JR showed his appreciation after the season by not renewing his contract. JR even blasted Himes in the media saying he wasn't the man for the job and he didn't think he could bring the team from point C to point A. The White Sox almost made the Playoffs in 2012 and after the season JR made Hahn the GM. He has taken this team from Point C to almost Point Z. I thought Hahn wouldn't be back so I wrote JR a letter. I've had contact via the mail since 1981 with JR. At times he has responded to me. He has even help me acquire some items for my White Sox memorabilia collection. I wrote him a letter last year and told him if Hahn is not going to be rehired, I would like to interviewed for the job as the new GM. I'm not only a life long White Sox fan (something Hahn isn't), I think I'm a good evaluater of MLB talent If I was the GM of the team for 5 years and was as unsuccessful as Hahn has been I would walk out the door and hang my head in shame. I didn't get a response from JR to my letter. Wat.

I've never heard of 2080 baseball. How reputable is it?

keithlaw @keithlaw 6m Georgia prep RHP Ethan Hankins 92-95 in the first inning tonight in front of at least five directors plus AJ Preller

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 53s UConn lefty Tim Cate has been shut down as a precaution. Stuff has been down a bit in a starting role this season. Smaller guy with an easy plus breaker, still has a chance to go in the 2nd round even as a pure reliever, once healthy.

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd Been hearing this for a month but hearing it more now: the Tigers are looking at Waukesha HS (WI) center fielder Jarred Kelenic as the #1 overall pick. Not just a rumor designed to get other player's prices down. Auburn RHP Casey Mize is still the favorite right now to go 1-1.

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 57s Following up on that: Merritt Island HS (FL) righty Mason Denaburg (UF commit) has biceps tendonitis and is shut down. Velocity was down for two starts, so this was the right move. Had worked his way into 10-15 overall range in a year that has lots of 1st round prep arms.

Wichita St. Baseball @GoShockersBSB 20s B3 | BOHM goes the dynamite! @BOHM5 hits a solo shot to give the Shockers a 4-0 lead.

Promote him!

FutureSox @FutureSox 1m1 minute ago More Both @SoxMachine and @jnorris427 are live watching Dylan Cease's start right now, so follow both for reports.

Matty continues to have excellent at bats this year.

Kanny gone.

Tim Anderson walks are so hot.

Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt 2m2 minutes ago Strong weekend for @WeAreSouth_BSB OF Travis Swaggerty, who just hit his 2nd homer in 2 days. Also has 4 walks in 2 days, and used his speed to leg out an infield single.

Winston-Salem postponed too.

Great college pitching match-up tonight. Casey Mize against Blaine Knight. About to start.

South Alabama Baseball @WeAreSouth_BSB 9m Travis Swaggerty leads off the game with a solo HR to LF, his sixth of the year, for a 1-0 Jaguar lead in T1. #JagNation #WeAreSouth

QUOTE (GenericUserName @ Apr 6, 2018 -> 12:16 PM) New MLBPipeline Inbox just came out and it had some interesting notes. They should be coming out with an updated draft top 100 by late April, but for now they gave what is probably the current top 10: 1. Casey Mize, RHP, Auburn 2. Nick Madrigal, SS/2B, Oregon State 3. Matt Liberatore, LHP, Mountain Ridge HS (Ariz.) 4. Shane McClanahan, LHP, South Florida 5. Carter Stewart, RHP, Eau Galle HS (Fla.) 6. Brady Singer, RHP, Florida 7. Travis Swaggerty, OF, South Alabama 8. Alex Bohm, 3B, Wichita State 9. Ryan Rolison, LHP, Mississippi 10. Ethan Hankins, RHP, Forsyth Central HS (Ga.) They also listed Kelenic, Gorman, and Kowar as other names to watch. So that fits with the idea that Gorman has really fallen and Hankins is down. I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about Stewart if he rose that high. Also apparently Madrigal is back playing and destroying again. It was mentioned multiple times that it seems like Mize has separated himself from the rest of the group and that several executives had him at 1-1 on their board. He also fits the Tigers profile, so that almost seems like a foregone conclusion at this point. Finally Mayo talked about Jordyn Adams and said he was one of the fastest guys they have seen in the past several drafts. If we end up going with Bohm or Madrigal in the first and Alek Thomas is gone by the second, he could be a nice pick. Thanks. There was a piece about some risers on BA two days ago that has Carter Stewart in it as well. Also I think Mayo is wrong on Madrigal. I don't see him in the last few Box Scores at all.
