How many times has KW watched that clip today?

Surprisingly, only once.  But that's just because it got him so pumped up that he spiked his smartphone into the pavement.

When do we expect the first pick? And at what intervals? Think this is my first draft living in PST. Need to get out of work in time.

Someone said 4 minutes between picks I believe.

So everyone making this group decision wants one guy and KW wants Singer. If this is true and Singer is the pick, everyone with any pride should immediately resign. I am calling BS on this report. Another KW conspiracy theory.

It has more credence than a typical message board rumor though. This is straight from the fangraphs guys.

I'm expecting the Sox pick to come in around 6:18-20

Draft starts in 20 min and first pick should be around 5-10 minutes after that.

Thanks.  Eek. Time to flee.

Isn't it usually longer for the first few?

Article I read said 4 for every pick in the first round. Obviously there will probably be some pomp and pageantry before the clock starts for the first pick.

Boo!

Come on Phillllyyyyyy, Singer is just like Nola riiiiiiiight? You guys like Nola don't you? Why wouldn't you take Singer then? It's like having 2 Nolas! Do it Philly!

FUCKING PLEASE.

The higher the pick for the Sox, the less draft I will watch. Thank God we are picking 4.

I'd be very surprised if Singer isn't the pick. It's impossible to know definitively, but I think Kiley is as plugged in on the draft as one could possibly be.

I want the best player available regardless of position. Sox need talent in all area's

Hopefully next year it's an even shorter wait.

Living on the west coast time-wise is great for every other tv thing - awards shows, games, etc -- but drafts are the worst.  NFL one starts while still at work.

If I had to bet, Id say Callis likely has more Sox info. But there seems to be a lot of jockeying about picks right now because I think teams are looking to save money for later picks.

With the first pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, the Chicago White Sox select Adley Rutschman, C, Oregon State University.

This will probably be wrong on both counts, but I'll look like a genius if it's right.

Fangraphs is having a chat here. Kiley says its going to be Mize-Bart-Bohm top 3.

All those 2017 tank threads has all come down to this moment
