Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 40s make that 2 GMs, both outside the top 10. Hankins looking good early 92-95, touching a couple 96s in the first. Encouraging after an up and down spring.

Kiley McDaniel @kileymcd 18m In to see Georgia prep righty Ethan Hankins tonight and there’s heat from all over the first round, one GM and double digit scouting director/special assistant/VP types. Gonna get some Hankins first hand report soon.

Yeah. De Sedas stock is wayyyy down. The draft thread has a plehthora of information for those that want to keep up with all the scuttlebutt.

keithlaw @keithlaw 22m22 minutes ago New draft blog post for Insiders - notes on potential first-rounders Ryan Weathers (son of David), Ryan Rolison, and Ethan Hankins. http://www.espn.com/blog/keith-law/insider/post?id=8269

Basabe with his 3rd hit. Here's hoping this season is his coming out party.

Neil @airforceneil3 The No.3 ranked college player in college baseball, Nick Madrigal, is suited up but not playing for the Beavers Sounds like his return is imminent.

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.

QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:19 PM) Sheets and Basabe 2-2 Cordell off to a slow start He's striking out a f*** ton.

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.
