Dozier? That's kind of a reach. Might be a quantity over quality move. Underslot, reallocation. Get some harder signs later. Time to restock due to Dayton overpaying for Shields?

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) He led the nation in homers, runs, walks and slugging pct. he sucks. I walked in late. Are people trying to downplay Bryant because it's the Cubs pick?

Austin Meadows is going to make some team very happy.

Wow at Ball to Boston. That changes some things. Shipley has to go to KC now. Fast impact for them too, since they are in win now mode now, whether they like it or not thanks to Dayton.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 06:48 PM) I think he plays at 3B. He has a total hose though and is a great athlete...moving to RF doesn't mean he stinks. And he is the best college bat available in years. Guys like Bryant are rare breeds. Word. Opinions are split if he sticks at 3B. I think he does. But he has the bat for a corner OF spot and athleticism too.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 06:47 PM) If he's the best college bat available this really is a weak draft class. Mayo seems to think there's a good chance he moves to RF. His bat will be just fine in RF.

QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 06:46 PM) was going to give credit but I didn't want to confused lol. Gammons is low key pissed Moran didn't make it to #7. Moran would have beaten the green monster consistently. What's everyone's take on Braden Shipley? I can see him falling. Royals would love Shipley I wager.

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw Wow, Marlins haven't taken a college bat with their first pick since Mark Kotsay 17 years ago. Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More

Wow. Royals are going to get Shipley I bet. They are pretty excited I'd imagine.

Finally home from work. Is this where my draftnik brethren are posting? Really love Bryant to the Cubs. Frazier to the Indians was also great. Kohl Stewart makes a fantastic farm system even better. Buxton, Sano, and Kohl? Wow.

May the Morse be with you.

Hopefully Jake is just under the weather or something, because he is the most valuable trade chip the Sox have this season.

Please stop hurting your trade value Jake.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 07:03 PM) Ball, Stanek and Peterson would be the three that would be dream scenarios given the slot they're picking. I'd be happy with Dominic Smith too.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:31 PM) The Sox need a star offensive player in his 20's more than anything. Hopefully he's that guy the second half of this decade. Agreed. That's why part of me is hoping for Dominic Smith this Thursday. Two young, potent hitting prospects that would be on similar timetables if they panned out.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 4, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Hawkins-- 2nd homer of the night! https://twitter.com/EvanLepler/status/342089530721071104 Please be good, please be good, please be good. The power is legit. Just need to rein in the strikeouts and the Sox potentially have something to dream on here.

I'm okay with JP Crawford. Not sold on Tim Anderson though. Still keeping the fingers crossed someone falls that is too good to pass up as stated in my earlier post.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 10:15 PM) I supported the move when it was made. Unfortunately, locking up starting pitching is extremely risky. Yep. It was a perfectly defensible extension. Pitchers get injured. It happens.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA Don't think quite that far. Think #Phillies & @WhiteSox would be tempted. @rosinbagger5: can Stanek fall to #Cardinals? #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More

That was one hell of an at bat. Impressive.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 05:10 PM) No it won't. He's still going top 3. Adderall and stim use amongst college baseball players isn't outside the norm. He still has top of the rotation potential. In fact, Law speculates Gray could be more attractive to the Astros and the Cubs as a positive test could prompt him to sign for a discount. This freeing up allotted slot money to use with picks later in the draft.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 3, 2013 -> 05:01 PM) Wow, that could blow up the draft. No it won't. He's still going top 3. Adderall and stim use amongst college baseball players isn't outside the norm. He still has top of the rotation potential.
