PG National starts today. Elijah Green is the early flavor of the month. Termarr Johnson looks like a young Tony Gwynn and Brock Porter throws 100 with more in the tank.  Let's do this.

I really like Kevin Parada, Georgia Tech has kind of become a factory for quality college catchers. 

Another guy I really like is Hayden Dunhurst, the catcher from Ole Miss. 

Montgomery and Kath are welcome additions to the system but the Sox need more athletes and more true up the middle guys

I'm scared to death of HS catchers but I think I'd take a shot on this dude.  He's pretty good behind the plate and he can really really hit.  He's also a cocky SOB and I always love that.  

This Dude's the real deal.  

Perfect Game is literally the worst.  

Local kid. Does he reimind you of anyone?

bruh.  a dead ringer, that has to be his influence?

I didn’t realize Sox could offer a QO to Rodon. Sox May have two top 40 picks, that would be huge. (Or Rodon an extra year, also excellent but this is the draft thread)

Depends on what changes they make in the upcoming CBA.  Knowing our luck we end up with neither an extra pick or Rodon for an additional year.

two potential top 40 picks if the QO system is still in place and Rodon rejects it. It appears from my cursory research this draft is deep on catching at both the college and high school level.

Kevin Parada, C, Georgia Tech
Hayden Dunhurst, C, Ole Miss
Daniel Susac, C, Arizona

His name is Irish, so I'm already on board, but in regards to that video I can't tell if it's just an angle I'm not used to seeing, but that bullet to 3rd looked unbelievably fast.

Just realized that the Sox will probably have another first round pick in the form of a comp pick for Rodon.

Which would be huge for the reloading of the farm system for the next wave of talent to extend the window.

The White Sox aren't eligible for a first round comp pick due to market size. Only the small market clubs get those. If the Sox QO Rodon and he goes elsewhere, they'll get a pick after comp round B. It's usually in the 70's.

Yeah that's what I remembered later but then when I saw others mention it I thought maybe we just gave up a 2nd rounder but still got a 1st round comp.

Oh well, still would be an extra million.

The mean slot value of Comp Round B in the 2021 Draft is $966,162.50

Gammons reporting Fabian won’t sign with Red Sox. 

The fastball command has to get a lot better but that slider is a weapon.  

Was hoping for this.  Cam is the real deal.  

The White Sox will pick either 26th or 30th.

The draft order doesn't change. It goes by regular season record.
