QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 11:04 PM) Was just thinking the same thing. ............ Not gonna lie with Coop around you have to feel VERY comfortable with a pick like this. Yea. The organization is one that seems to have a pretty good handle on developing pitchers and not having arms explode. They wouldn't have picked Danish this early if they had significant concerns over his mechanics. Either that or they think they can fix any issues that have them worried. I guarantee there is going to be a wide range of opinions on him. I know Law hates the arm action, but he also disliked Sale for similar reasons.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 10:40 PM) It's refreshing to see us consider high school pitchers early in the draft, even if they are fairly risky. David Holmberg (2009), Nevin Griffith (2007), & Gio Gonzalez (2004) are the only HS pitchers we've selected in the first two rounds in the past 10 years. My sentiments exactly. Perhaps the Sox are now truly picking who they think is the BPA as opposed to what's relatively safe and will move through the system fast. Certainly seems that way with Hawkins, Anderson, and now Danish. Walker and Mitchell to an extent as well. One also wonders if this is alluding to the dismantling of the major league roster, as these certainly aren't reinforcements that are going to contribute soon.

Going on record. I really like the Danish pick. Also rather pleasantly surprised to see a HS pitcher taken this early.

Also worth nothing, Danish has worked recently on raising his arm slot and appears willing to raise it if a team desires so.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 10:22 PM) OMG what horrible mechanics by the guy the Sox just drafted. I kind of hope he fulfills his college commitment and gives the Sox overslot $$ Peavy is very similar in his delivery. Many have also condemned Sale for his mechanics. It's certainly no exact science. The Sox obviously see something here. They aren't picking a projectable high school kid who has a Florida commit in order to banish him to the bullpen or anything.

Danish is 47 out of 50 on Sickels pitcher list.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba 16s Nice, White Sox already have Jake Peavy, now Tyler Danish in 2nd round has similar release point/arm slot. He had an amazing year #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More

Dat arm slot. I'm okay with this pick

I also really like Alex Balog.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 10:17 PM) Wait for the rapid fire the next two days. It's amazing how fast it goes. I'm wondering if the White Sox procured a better phone this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) I'm predicting either Buck Farmer or Tom Windle for the Sox here I'll throw a Ziomek and Wahl into that pool. Maybe a Vanegas too.

I wonder if Eades and/or Ziomek will be around for the White Sox.

Shipley and Blair is another great pair of picks. Diamondbacks sure are loaded on pitching.

Manaea and Dozier pretty decent tandem for the Royals. They should get something done with the money they will be saving.

http://sbb.scout.com/a.z?s=381&p=2&amp...%2f1297509.html Scout.com had him #11 overall.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 1m We're hearing the Royals are taking Sean Manaea

Laumann himself notes that Anderson might not stick at SS. I'd love to see him in CF personally. http://www.chicagotribune.com/videogallery...or-on-No-1-pick

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 09:14 PM) Nope, Judge Both.

The Yankees have added some nice pieces tonight. Though 3 1st round picks will do that.

KC has to take Manaea right?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 09:04 PM) Isn't it a little too early to make any prediction about him? Yep. You sure like to make absolute proclamations Caul.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 09:00 PM) Wahl from Ole Miss would be a nice pick I like Wahl, but many see him as a reliever.

Supreme value for the Rays with Stanek. Another organization that churns out pitching.
