Danny Mendick; brain fart

 

I was just looking at that draft. Sox got pretty surprising production in rounds 20 and 21 with Mendick and Landon lassiter.

Tilson redux with this pick?

 

Also just to clear up any confusion, I am DickMan.

Who is Tilson? Sounds like a mythical character, certainly couldn't be a white sox.

It feels like this draft is less about hitting big time potential and more just strengthening the backbone of the system.

 

I'm ok with that

Longenhagen mentions possible off field issues with Gonzalez

Either a Howard Stern gag or Bartman's cousin...

I think he meant Richard Mendickman

Based on what has been said about this draft (lack of star talent, decent depth) its not a bad strategy.

Agreed. And then hope for a team to ignore Q's first few month and give us a significant piece for 2 back in a deal.

Gonzalez was a pretty solid pitcher earlier in his collegiate career...

Any clues as to what kind?

Unfortunately, no. It's funny, because MLB.com's writeup specifically praises his makeup.

2 away now. Angels/Rox/sox

Bad news on the names front. Troy Bacon was drafted six slots in front of the Sox pick.

Vandy 3b Will Toffey fyi is off board. Mentioned to sox sometimes.

Sorry 3 away, Brewers just picked Mundelein HS guy Brendan Murphy

toffey to the A's. He fit the mold of what we've been drafting to a T

Between Collins, Call, Fisher, Burger, Sheet and now Gonzalez, we have now taken a bunch of polished college bats with good plate discipline. Now we just need a couple of these bats to pan out.

Gonzalez write-up underway for FutureSox, will post when ready.

Plus added younger more raw guys in moncada and Robert. Basabe to a lesser extent.

 

If we can get something legit for Q and a pen arm ...dang

On the clock

Rabbit nailed that!

Gotta be pitching. My guess.

Gonzo looks like a poor man's Kendall to me tool's wise. Not bad in the 3rd round and that plate discipline is pretty impressive. Don't think he's got much power in that bat though.
