I was getting nervous about this after seeing all the main draft guru’s hinting from their sources they were going that route.

I do have concerns with the mlb draft this week. Will Hahn feel pressured to draft college players closer to the majors with being on the hot seat. I hope they stick to last years draft strategy and go the prep route again.

I know it’s a pipe-dream because it’s Reinsdorf, but I hope he cleans house at the end of the year and goes outside the organization like his son did with the Bulls. I can dream.

I hope there is some truth to TLR walking away. This situation just keeps getting worse by the day. The players have quit!!!

I think Colas age and being only at A Ball is a huge factor that will keep him off the lists.

Totally agree! I’m staying away from anyone with shoulder issues. Way too risky. It seems like a lot of insiders are changing their tune and saying Sox are heavy on pitching in the first round.

Keith Law 3.0 Mock draft 26. Chicago White Sox: Robby Snelling, LHP, McQueen High (Reno) I’ve only heard pitching here, including Snelling (which I think would be a great outcome for the White Sox), Hjerpe (of course, since he gets compared to Chris Sale by his adherents) and Blade Tidwell.

I'm staying away from a guy who just had shoulder surgery. No chance I would consider Rocker. Way too risky!

Montgomery is an infielder and is playing his first year of professional ball. There is no need to rush his development as a player. Sox have not done that too many times where it has backfired. Montgomery needs to continue playing SS as long as possible. I see a lot similarities defensively and offensively with Corey Seager size and skills. I can't think of one good reason to rush a 20 year old who has played two weeks in High A Ball to the MLB roster.

That’s a crazy idea!!!

Since a similar group of scouts/execs took a college power hitter with a divisive hand move (Zack Collins in 2016) at 10th overall, I could totally see them taking another divisive hand-move guy in Beavers this year.

Just reported on the Score Colas is unhappy to still be in A Ball. Thinks he can help the major league league team.

Also, wanted to trade Andrew Vaughn for Mitch Keller!!!

I understand might not get much for Harrison and I know Engle is hurt. They can be sweeteners in deals to help with teams benches in the fall. There would be a ton of teams still lining up for Giolito thinking they can fix him. Dodgers would be one of those organizations that need SP. We aren’t signing Giolito long-term.

I’d be looking to trade some of our players. Lynn, Giolito, Engle, Abreu, Harrison, Sheets, Cueto. Help the farm again and reload in the off-season. This team has so many flaws right now. Probably won’t happen.

Tucker Toman https://soxmachine.com/general/2022-draft-profile-tucker-toman-3b/

I have a big issue with Eloy’s batting stance. I think that front leg has caused issues with his swing. It continues to become dramatically stranger each year.

Jazz is close to being a star player. Can’t see Marlins trading him. Pipedream. Would be fun to watch Robert, Anderson, and Chisholm up the middle.

Big hit

Keith Law’s 2nd mock is up. White Sox taking Cooper Hjerpe LHP. I would hate this pick. Definitely reliever profile with that arm slot.

MLB network has the the draft combine right now. Tucker Toman has impressive quick swing. avg exit velocity was impressive.

1. Brock Porter 2. Tucker Toman 3. Carson Wisenhunt 4. Drew Gilbert or Jacob Melton sorry was going back and forth

Jesus Christ-I’ve never seen anything like this.

Breaking ball doesn’t have a lot downward, shape bite action. Fastball looked good!

Eno Sarris always states who are teams behind with player development: Rockies, White Sox, Nationals, Texas, and Phillies. When is the last time we have drafted someone and developed into a starting pitcher, it’s been almost a decade. Carlos Rodon didn’t need too much development time being the #3 overall pick.
