Unfortunately I wasn't able to post much being at work and all yesterday, but pretty happy with some of the Day 2 selections. Not a big fan of the Jacob May pick. Andrew Mitchell was a steal and great value as a 4th round pick. Really high on him. Thadduis Lowry is an intriguing pick, happy with him. Love the Trey Michalczewski selection. Hope he signs. The rest of the picks aren't all that interesting. Some likely easy underslot signs there though. Should allow money reallocation to Michalczewski and some picks we see today on day 3.

Ouch.

I see Beck with some strikeouts tonight. Moar plz.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 10:40 AM) The way he throws screams shoulder injury. Anterior capsule, subscapularis or labrum most likely. Not a fan of guys who don't have the good trunk flexion and follow through. The are reports he is very willing to change arm slot and accompanying mechanics if so desired by the drafting team. Maybe the Sox plan to clean it up.

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
