Final Callis/Mayo mock. Evan White and Bukauskus. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/235977384/fi...picid=151437456

Hiura being picked in the top 10 and a random underslot or two is the hope.

Wright falling to 8 would be crazy.

Warning to those that are only watching and not on twitter. There will be many many pick spoilers in this thread since Twitter sources know the pick notably in advance.

Could help the Sox for the position player hunt. Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 · 20s #Angels looking like a potential landing spot for JB Bukauskas. He's sliding a bit but they've been on him and are a solid fit

Final Fangraphs mock has the White Sox on Kendall. Notes they would prefer one of the Virginia bats, Beck or Adell though.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:12 PM) Sneaking suspicion Evan White is very much in play. Yassss.

Piliere still trumpeting that AZ is all over Haseley or Smith.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 03:21 PM) Law was saying this four months ago Yap. But Law hates the White Sox don't you know? Can the draft thread please not turn into another Keith Law thread?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) Welp, Law thinks JB will be a reliever It's a sign!

Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 · 4m #WhiteSox had Kenny Williams in to evaluate both #UVA bats. I think they'd take either Haseley or Smith if they were there at 11.

QUOTE (hi8is @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 01:34 PM) Gore Haseley Beck Lewis Smith White Kendall Adell That's my bat order preference in terms of how well I think they'll play out over their career regardless of pick order and removing the big two two-way players. You'd prefer Gore as a hitter over pitcher?

John Manuel @johnmanuelba · 43s College bat on move up today: Vanderbilt's Will Toffey. Power doesn't profile per se but athletic, good defense & eye, solid bat #mlbdraft

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:33 AM) Austin Beck? Definitely not. Tristan Beck? We could get for incredibly under slot as he does not project as a first round talent. Tristan Beck is by all accounts goin to be an overslot/tough sign. He's a draft eligible sophomore who has the leverage to go back to school and re-establish​ himself in his junior year. I would link but I'm on a flight with horrific WiFi.

John Manuel @johnmanuelba · 8m Hearing Royce Lewis chatter at 1 as well. Twins official still says signability will be a significant consideration. But Lewis def. in play

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:55 AM) Not sure why a team drafting in the top 5 would want to reach that far back for a player, even if well underslot? If they are really sold on the player and can reallocate the draft allotment to get harder to sign premier talent in later rounds, its totally a viable strategy. Happens every year with certain teams. The Braves do it often. Did it with Ian Anderson last year I believe.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:48 AM) What is this rumor? Ray's cutting an underslot deal with Bubba Thompson with their first round pick.

Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 22s Not a reach for White, but I think they'd prefer Haseley or Smith if they can get them Alan @ProfessorFog @FPiliereD1 Any ChiSox buzz? Is White a reach?

Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 22s The Bubba Thompson rumor is legitimate & I think it could speak to them believing their top priorities - Lewis, Gore, Greene, could be gone John @Citizens_ @FPiliereD1 What do you think about #Rays ? Over draft ?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:20 AM) Someone with twitter should ask Frankie about the WSox Done.

Let's go with Evan White.

QUOTE (Buehrlesque @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:01 AM) I've soured on Kendall too. The hit tool just doesn't seem good enough — it seems like he'll be overmatched as he moves up the latter. Taking the glovework out of the picture, can anyone compare Evan White to Pavin Smith as a hitter? They're both intriguing to me. I believe Smith is considered to have a slightly better hit tool and more power projection. White is so much more athletic though and could realistically be an asset in a corner OF spot. I really like White.

Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 14m Race for #1 pick is not over. #Twins giving serious late consideration to taking Royce Lewis. Down to the wire on him & McKay #MLBDraft
