GreenSox Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) I think I will like this pick much more if it's underslot. Yep It needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan49 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It's funny because the MLB draft is a bigger crapshoot than any of the 4 major sports yet last year everyone was elated for Collins, and he sort of sucks right now.

caulfield12 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Keep repeating, Robert and Burger, lol. #25 prospect in all of baseball. Maybe it's better to have a prospect everyone's skeptical of from the very beginning, rather than the opposite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:28 PM) Where does Burger slot in terms of our top ten prospects? 6th-10th range maybe? The top 3 are obvious (Moncada, Kopech, Robert). After that, you can throw Collins, Giolito, Lopez, Burger, Hansen in any order. Wow.. I've been a part of this board, FutureSox, etc for a long time and I've never been as excited about our system as I am now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:36 PM) I know there are mixed views on posters here who are pro and con Bukauskas, but I can't believe he hasn't been picked yet. Almost steal range now. Horrific mechanics. Does pretty much everything you don't want a young pitcher to do. I'll be surprised if he doesn't have an arm injury within 3-4 years.

I've been a part of this board, FutureSox, etc for a long time and I've never been as excited about our system as I am now. Yeah, completely forgot Hansen. Internally, he might be raising expectations to the point where he's #2 to Kopech. So Burger could legitimately be #7-9. That's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 07:33 PM) Kevin Millar?? I'll gladly take Kevin Millar. I was hoping for White but I'm fine with the Burger pick and the Millar comp. Should be interesting to see what he ends up signing for.

Our farm needed a power bat and burger should provide solid pop. We might look back and be very happy with this selection in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think he's going to be a steal. Not sure the mileage on his arm but wonder if the stros would consider pitching him out of the pen in the majors sometime this year? Not sure how that bullpen has fared this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Gary Gaetti. Hopefully the strength and conditioning staff can turn him into Luis Robert 2. Not likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
