May 26, 20223 yr Want nothing to do with Shultz in the first round. The guy has barely thrown any innings the past 2 years. Really don't trust that arm holding up as a starter.

Both seem to be command/control guys without eye popping velocity, but they are performing well. Messick seems to have a unique build and not the smoothest delivery though. Ranked 56th and 57th accordingly on BA's initial draft prospect list. Messick getting blasted right now.
May 26, 20223 yr I think Jimmy's tweet was largely in jest by the way. He just checks some of the prototypical White Sox boxes.
May 26, 20223 yr I actually am pretty on board with Gilbert TBH. I also really like Jett Williams for no discernable reason other than he looks like a roided out scummy high schooler in one of Kiley's videos? Maybe not the best criteria for selecting your 1st rounder though.
May 29, 20223 yr Guys I like in no particular order: Cooper Hjerpe. Drew Gilbert, I’m on the bandwagon. I’ve been watching a lot of his games and highlights. He’s such an exciting player. I wonder if the improved pitch recognition is for real. Justin Crawford - my dream pick but it’s not happening. Gabriel Hughes. Connor Prelipp Edited May 29, 20223 yr by Joshua Strong

Connor Prelipp I like the three pitchers as potential picks and no doubt on Crawford. I’ve only seen highlights on Gilbert, what would you compare him to?

May 30, 20223 yr Watched a lot of Gilbert in SEC Tournament. That team is one of the best I’ve ever seen. With that said, Gilbert looked rough in the at bats I saw. He seems very maxed out physically.
June 1, 20223 yr https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/34013502/2022-mlb-mock-draft-10-kiley-mcdaniel-projects-first-round 26. Chicago White Sox Drew Gilbert, CF, Tennessee The White Sox tend to take college bats with their top pick, then get bolder with later selections, and that's exactly what the board is giving them here. Gilbert is one of the safest picks in the draft and might be the first non-reliever to make the big leagues from this class. He's in play in the late teens as well.
June 2, 20223 yr New Mayo mock. Quote 26. White Sox: Gabriel Hughes, RHP, Gonzaga (No. 20) Hughes is more than 30 innings past his career high at this point and while he’s still missing bats, there might be a little fatigue leading to less-dominant stuff and results (6 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 7 K in his West Coast Conference Tournament start last Friday), but his power repertoire still could go higher than this. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-2022-druw-jones-lands-first-overall?t=mlb-draft-coverage

June 2, 20223 yr Will the Sox punt picks 5-10 again, or will they try a more nuanced approach this time?
June 2, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, GreenSox said: Will the Sox punt picks 5-10 again, or will they try a more nuanced approach this time? Everyone who signs overslot players punts on picks. That is actually the nuanced approach to drafting.
June 2, 20223 yr 4 minutes ago, southsider2k5 said: Everyone who signs overslot players punts on picks. That is actually the nuanced approach to drafting. Very few teams punt picks and no other team punts 5-10.
June 2, 20223 yr Just now, GreenSox said: Very few teams punt picks and no other team punts 5-10. This is 100% wrong. No team just signs all slot players.
