June 6, 20187 yr Even though we spent the first 2 picks on hitters, I think we've accomplished the goal of restocking system with projectable arms in the mid rounds.
June 6, 20187 yr I love our coastal carolina players (Remillard, Morrison) from that championship team, I assume I'll love this guy. Scouting Report: Drafted by the Dodgers in the 29th round out of high school despite not pitching his senior season due to Tommy John surgery, Bilous has long tantalized scouts with his potential. As a freshman at Coastal Carolina in 2016, he flashed electric stuff in Omaha, helping the Chanticleers win their first-ever national championship. Since then, he's been up-and-down as a weekend starter, going 3-2, 4.61 last season, and notching a 7-2, 3.00 record through 13 starts this spring. Bilous can look unhittable at times, featuring a 92-96 mph fastball with arm-side run, a hard, biting slider at 81-85 mph and an 84-87 mph changeup that he throws almost exclusively to lefties. The problem for the 6-foot-2, 190-pound righthander is that he struggles to repeat his release point and walks often pile up on him. In 169.1 college innings, Bilous has walked 135 batters—7.18 per nine innings. He's walked 58 (to 90 strikeouts) through 72 innings this spring—7.25 per nine. Because of his sheer lack of control, Bilous projects more as a reliever. He has the stuff to be dominant out of the bullpen, but he'll need to tighten up the location woes that have plagued him throughout his amateur career.
June 6, 20187 yr Bilous sounds a little like Hansen lite. Hopefully they can iron out his release point and he can command what sounds like pretty good stuff.
June 6, 20187 yr In the 14th RD, the White Sox select RHP Davis Martin, Texas Tech. Edited June 6, 20187 yr by ChiliIrishHammock24

So an upside of a mid rotation starter with a downside of an electric reliever. I'll take it in Round 12.
June 6, 20187 yr That's another one we got right off of our guesses. Lmao, Soxtalk is DEFINITELY being read by the draftroom.

You said Martin Davis, but technically you were right, just got his name wrong. Damn 3/4... in all the years I've been on here and on a draft thread, I've never seen this before..
June 6, 20187 yr Hello Mr. Hostetler, love having you here. I just wanted to let you know you're doing a great job and we all appreciate your hard work. If you could choose Erick Rivera that would be awesome.

The two first names tripped me up. http://m.mlb.com/video/topic/262722544/v2074647983?tcid=draft-tracker-player-id-663436 Can touch mid-90s with fastball and likes to quick-pitch hitters to fuck with them. Love it.

June 6, 20187 yr My next guess, assuming C Jacob Campbell won't be taken because he's a HS kid and it's getting late, is LHP Jake Mangum, Miss St.
June 6, 20187 yr 1 hour ago, SoxAce said: Pulled up in the other thread, but here's a few of us guessing who the Sox might/will go with in the 11th.. @Dam8610- Cole Wilcox @fathom- Seth Halvorsen @GenericUserName- Isaiah Carranza PICKED @Y2Jimmy0- Zach Hess @SEALgep- Kameron Guangorena @beautox- Garrett Wade @ChiliIrishHammock24- Davis Martin PICKED or Jacob Campbell @SoxAce- Isaiah Campbell @Dunt- Jason Bilous PICKED @southsider2k5- Jonathan Childress One of us has to be right... right? We didn't get the round right but so far.. @GenericUserName, @Dunt and @ChiliIrishHammock24 picks are off the board. Feels like a damn fantasy football draft. Whose next?!
June 6, 20187 yr Just now, ChiliIrishHammock24 said: In the 15th RD, the White Sox select RHP Luke Shilling, U of Illinois White Sox take an interesting one in Illinois' Luke Shilling. Has had extreme arm strength for years, into upper-90's with a hammer at times, missed '18 with injury, has had command issues in the past, there is big upside there— Brian Sakowski (@B_Sakowski_PG) June 6, 2018
June 6, 20187 yr Wasn't their somebody in here who liked or mentioned Shilling? @DirtySox? @fathom? Edited June 6, 20187 yr by SoxAce
June 6, 20187 yr jeff ellis @jeffMLBdraft 1m1 minute ago More Luke Shilling did not pitch this year and rarely played in college in general injuries and inconsistency. Another player for them that struggled but has some ceiling
June 6, 20187 yr In the 16th RD, the White Sox select C Ty Greene, UC Berkley Edited June 6, 20187 yr by ChiliIrishHammock24
