July 17, 20223 yr Final Pipeline draft with both Mayo and Callis doing picks side by side. https://www.mlb.com/news/final-mlb-mock-draft-2022?t=mlb-draft-coverage Quote 26. White Sox Callis: Drew Gilbert, OF, Tennessee (No. 32) It's no secret that the White Sox like Toman. If they miss out on him, they could opt for another of the better pure hitters in the Draft in Gilbert, or another prep infielder in Young. Mayo: Tucker Toman, 3B, Hammond HS, Columbia, S.C. (No. 35) Toman is the best prep bat still on the board, one that has entered conversations higher than this. Edited July 17, 20223 yr by DirtySox

July 17, 20223 yr Just now, bmags said: I found that very confusing to follow Yep. Wish they would stop using this format. Just keep them separate.
July 17, 20223 yr Longenhagen mock. Quote 26. Chicago White Sox Pick: Connor Prielipp, LHP, Alabama Prielipp presents more upside than is typically available down here, and could also be a candidate for the Garrett Crochet Treatment. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-mlb-mock-draft/
July 17, 20223 yr What time does the draft start tonight? Still not used to the draft being at the all-star break.
July 17, 20223 yr I prefer we go best talent signable at 26. After that when you are looking at groups of similar talent, I hope we go very heavy pitching. When their are talent clusters, I hope we grab lefties in both pitching and hitting as their seems to be a dearth of both in our system. Adding Montgomery, Colas and Kath was a start to getting some lefties.
July 17, 20223 yr BA's latest mock. Quote Robby Snelling McQueen HS, Reno, Nev.LHP Notes: Total Bonus Pool: $6,289,100 Pick Slot Value: $2,788,000 I’m continuing to tie college pitchers with the White Sox and there should be a number of solid options who make it to this pick—it’s figuring out which one that is a much trickier proposition. Whisenhunt—like Connor Prielipp—could have been a top-15 talent in this class with a full college season under his belt. Update: Still a lot of college arms linked to the White Sox. It sounds like Gabriel Hughes could be slipping and I wonder if Chicago would be interested in him or another college arm like Jake Bennett who is getting some late helium. Snelling is a name I am increasingly getting comfortable with for this pick, however, so that’s the new selection. I think the White Sox might be one of the teams in on Reggie Crawford for later. Dart Throw Later Picks: California HS RHP Riley Kelly, Oklahoma State RHP/3B Nolan McLean https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/2022-mlb-mock-draft-v-61/ Edited July 17, 20223 yr by DirtySox
July 17, 20223 yr Quote Reggie Crawford Connecticut LHP Notes: HT: 6-4 | Wt: 235 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Royals '19 (37) Age At Draft: 21.6 BA Grade: 55/Extreme Tools: Fastball: 70. Slider: 60. Changeup: 40. Control: 45. Between his talent, limited track record on the mound and medical history, Crawford is one of the biggest wild cards in the draft. Crawford was one of the first of many pitchers in this class to have Tommy John surgery, having the operation last fall that kept him out of action the entire 2022 season. That left him with just eight innings on his resume with Connecticut, plus brief looks last summer in the Cape Cod League and with USA Baseball's Collegiate National Team. When he was healthy, Crawford sat in the mid 90s, touched 99 and flashed a plus slider in the mid 80s. Scouts haven't had much of an opportunity to see him throw a changeup, with command and durability questions that add considerable reliever risk. Crawford had been a two-way player who also played first base, hitting .309/.362/.546 with 14 home runs for the Huskies in 2020 and 2021. He's strongly built, with some scouts giving him well above-average raw power, though his high-octane stuff from the left side has teams preferring him on the mound. Given how many college pitchers have been hurt this year, teams looking for college arms are going to have to tolerate some medical risk, which has a lot of scouts projecting Crawford to go by the second round. Since they mentioned the Sox maybe being into Crawford with a later pick. Ranked 59th. Edited July 17, 20223 yr by DirtySox
July 17, 20223 yr Personally, I want Prielipp, but I think he'll be priced out of their range. I'm guessing Campbell. Would be happy with Toman, Gilbert, Snelling. Less so with Hughes and Hjerpe.
July 17, 20223 yr Keith Law and Collazo have Snelling, Mayo and Callis have Toman/Gilbert and Longenhagen has Prielipp.

I'm terrified they would pull a Crochet with Prielipp though. @Harold's Leg Lift Curious your thoughts on Gilbert. You a fan?
July 17, 20223 yr I didn’t realize prielipp was gonna be a guy around so I’d put him at 1a, but I like snelling a lot. Holy crap is it going to be annoying getting autocorrected to smelling.
July 17, 20223 yr 1 hour ago, SoxAce said: Prep player please White Sox. Keep stock piling talent in the lower minors. This is my preference too. I would really like Toman. Like the idea of Snelling as well. My dream scenario would be Cole Young somehow falling to 26 though.

I hope they did their homework on that one.

July 17, 20223 yr Kiley McDaniel just came out with his last two round mock. Would absolutely love this!!!! 26. Tucker Toman 62. Jackson Cox

July 17, 20223 yr Toman is definitely my prediction for who the Sox take at 26. There seems to be more smoke with him than any other player.
July 17, 20223 yr Wonder if Baltimore is going to save up with Johnson and go after Schultz with there next pick.
