Mark Gonzales ‏@MDGonzales If it's Hawkins, solid pick. Sox stressed upside, and Laumann said three weeks ago this was as good of a year to take a prep player at 13. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

First prep 1st rounder since Honel was taken in 2001. Hell has frozen over. Kudos to the White Sox for taking who they think is the BPA, no matter the level.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba Courtney Hawkins to the White Sox via @BAHighSchool Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA #WhiteSox will get some value hear. I think it's Hawkins, Stroman or Wacha. Mock guessed Wacha, I'll guess Hawkins. #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Wouldn't be upset by the pick. Great upside. I wouldn't be upset either. Some will be though. He's pretty raw. Swing and miss to his game, not the best approach. But man, if he puts it together...

Wacha, Stroman, or Hawkins?

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler RT @johnmanuelba Hearing the A's are throwing a curve and drafting Florida prep SS Addison Russell Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

Oakland likes Gallo evidently.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba Hearing Dahl to Colorado Reply Retweet Favorite Does Kenny grab his toolsy risky player in Hawkins?

I bet Wacha will be there for the taking. Not all that high on him though.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:02 PM) No stretch for the Sox to shore up MI by taking Marrero? I hope not.

Great. Love the Pirates getting him.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 06:57 PM) Why is Appel a tough sign? Is it that Boras is the agent? Yes.

I still love Stroman as well.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein No way in hell. RT @ImDaBaron: @Kevin_Goldstein Would the White Sox take Appel? Reply Retweet Favorite

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA Confirmed: #Cubs will take Almora at 6, #Padres take Fried at 7. Think #Pirates & Dahl at 8 are set. Appel to #Athletics at 11? #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 06:43 PM) Don't think Cubs will take Appel? Haven't paid attention to where they were going in the draft. Cubs have been hardcore linked to Almora all year.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein Crazy rumor of Boras trying to push Mark Appel all the way to Washington at 16. Reply Retweet Favorite

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw Royals to take Kyle Zimmer. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

QUOTE (PolishPrince34 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 06:39 PM) Zimmer stock has been dropping the past 24 hours. Would do backflips if we land him. Same.

Kevin Goldstein ‏@Kevin_Goldstein Royals remain totally weird, but I don't think it's Appel. Reply Retweet Favorite

Love Gausman for the O's. Appel has to go to the Royals. There is also the Fried to KC rumor.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA Confirmed: #Mariners taking Zunino at 3. #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite

Some think the M's grab Zunino here. They shocked everyone with Hultzen last year though.
