Been following Mackenzie Gore since I go to ECU pirates baseball games and he is our top signee. He is a lefty HS pitcher who sits in the low 90s. Projected top 15. The other day he threw a 5 inning perfect game with 15 Ks and only had 8 balls. Top LHP in the high school ranks.

I think the sox should draft Jake Burger if he's still available. I think he's one of the best in this year's draft.

Don't most people like Beer with their Burger?

#11 is way too high for Burger

Big fan of Burger, but I agree with Y2Jimmy, he would be a bit high at #11. Would love him afterwards though. Kid screams steal ala Alec Hansen.

I think also like an order of Fry with that.

I like Burger alot he is crushing it this year to the tune of .385/.478/.761 20BB to 13K. I would love for him to be there with our second pick at 39 but i doubt it. this draft will be interesting esp if they can acquire picks from the marlins and o's if they're in it nearing the draft.

I'm not the biggest Chris Crawford fan, but here's his updated top 100.

I don't see Burger lasting until #32 if he keeps up the hitting pace that he is on

 

Even if he can't stick at 3rd, the bat seems legit

Pretty noteworthy. Had worked his way into top half of the first consideration.

Depending on what his violations were I hope we pull the trigger on him if he slips to the second round, he was putting up some really good numbers this year.

There's been a lot of buzz lately about Mississippi State's Brent Rooker lately. Admittedly I don't know a ton about him but his stats are eye-popping. I hope the Sox are considering him at pick #11.

Rooker isn't even on top 100 draft prospect lists. I reached out to Callis, Crawford, and Manuel about it this weekend. They all were in agreement that he'll move up because teams love college bats but it won't be some meteoric rise to the level of Andrew Benintendi. Rooker could be a 1st rounder. Probably won't be a top half of the draft guy though.

Maybe the Sox can get him in the 2nd round then.

Pavin Smith had a 4 hit game yesterday for @UVABaseball and continues to become a very intriguing candidate for the #1 overall pick

Keith Law thinks Minnesota goes Brendan McKay at #1. He said he'd take Greene but he feels like Minnesota won't just because a HS righty has never gone #1.

Who could blame them. No way I'd go HS pitcher #1 after the 2014 draft.

I'd take Greene. He's capable of being a top 10 pick at SS too.

So much #mlbdraft buzz on Logan Warmoth @DiamondHeels - sounds like he's could end up going in the middle of the 1st round

Smith has had a strong season, but highly doubtful that a college 1B would be selected #1 overall. I don't believe that it has happened before

I have a hard time seeing it as well. Seems to have some helium though in a college position player starved draft.

I'd be uncomfortable spending a top 5 pick on a 1B/DH type college player unless the bat were off the charts good

 

At #11 it might make some sense if he is on the board

I wouldn't mind drafting a big LH bat at #11. If Pavin's bat is anything like Collins, sign me up.

Crawford has a new mock up. White Sox with an interesting selection. Super early, but mocks are fun. I expect one from BA soon.

Good grief, Haseley is putting up some numbers.
