June 14, 20178 yr Day three moves fast. Here is the FutureSox Draft Tracker, which will have at least short blurbs on every single draft pick by the Sox.
June 14, 20178 yr Author Looking at the Sox T10 picks, I see one over-slot guy, but a good 5 under slot guys, including a couple cheap senior signs. My guess is we'll see the Sox take at least one or maybe two over-slot guys in the 11-17 range who need more than 100k to sign. Guys they've done that with before include Adam Engel, Jacob May and more recently Ian Hamilton.
June 14, 20178 yr BA's best available top 10. #38 Tanner Burns - RHP (Decatur, H.S ) #39 Brady McConnell - SS (Merritt Island, H.S.) #41 Tristan Beck - RHP (Stanford) *mentioned him since day 2. Shocked he's still on the board. That back injury must be serious* #62 Garrett Mitchell - OF (Orange Lutheran, H.S.) #69 Jake Eder - LHP (Calvary Christian Academy, Fort Lauderdale) *really like the scouting report on this kid, but he'll be a very tough signing* #73 Bryce Bonnin - RHP (Barber's Hill, H.S.) #75 Greg Jones - SS (Cary, H.S.) #76 Chris McMahon - RHP (West Chester, H.S.) #82 Daniel Cabrera - OF (Parkview Baptist, H.S.) #87 Blaine Knight - RHP (Arkansas) *ranked one spot after Luis Gonzalez And there's guys like Mace, Hurt, Drohan, Van Eyk, Campbell, Williams, etc. (Burns, Eder, McConnell, Mace, Schwarz are considered tough signings however)
June 14, 20178 yr I will not be really paying attention today but would like to see a pick for the ACE alumn at Vanderbilt at some point.

Burns for sure is going to Auburn.https://mobile.twitter.com/TannerBurnsAU/st...727362742583296 McConnell and Mace are very unlikely according to Cahill from BA https://mobile.twitter.com/tedcahill/status...762145434664960 No idea about the other high school prospects on the list. And yea.. saw Beck has a stress fracture in his back. No wonder he's still on the board. Edited June 14, 20178 yr by SoxAce
June 14, 20178 yr Author Bryce Montes de Oca is still on the board. Sox drafted him out of high school as their backup plan to Rodon. They've been keeping an eye on him, that I know. Might they draft him again? He is eligible. Had TJS, high risk profile, but lots of ceiling.

June 14, 20178 yr Author I posted this on the FS Twitter Feed, thought I'd put it here too. Some current White Sox prospects who were taken on Day 3... Adam Engel (19th round) Jordan Guerrero (15th) Matt Cooper (16th) Seby Zavala (12th) Joel Booker (22nd) Ian Hamilton (11th) Mitch Roman (12th) Mike Morrison (27th)

June 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Otherwise known as Dickman. Yes, when he was Dickman, he only had one "tool." Now as Mendick, with multiple "tools," he is a legit prospect.
June 14, 20178 yr Into round 12 just like that. Our pick should be up again within a few minutes. Gotta love a fast pace draft.
June 14, 20178 yr 12 357 -- Yurchak, Justin SUNY - Binghampton 3B L/R JR -- 6'1" 204lbs DOB: 09/17/96 CWS
June 14, 20178 yr 13 387 -- Blackman, Tate Ole Miss 2B R/R JR -- 6'0" 185lbs DOB: 09/07/94 Whitesox pick
June 14, 20178 yr Surprised by the lack of high schoolers overall. Thought they had stated a desire to take many. Smokescreen?
June 14, 20178 yr Justin Yurchak, who the Sox took in round 12, walked 41 times to only 12 k's in 192 PA's at SUNY Binghamton. And yes, he does hit lefty.
June 14, 20178 yr 14 417 -- Destino, Alex South Carolina OF L/L JR -- 6'2" 215lbs DOB: 10/24/95 Whitesox Pick
