That's actually a pretty good comp considering how he played Center those first few years and that he was a HS SS right? And I am the anti-comp man. Obviously he blew through the offensive projections, but nobody would ever nail that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, pretty sure no one had Willie Mays as a comp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate comps myself as well, but all you need to do to get some White Sox folks hot and bothered is utter "Aaron Rowand." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard $3 million ask on Toman. He’s in either first round around slot or probably not happening. He’s an LSU commit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 I was going to ask the board if Rocker is available would you take? Would you take if it required him in the majors this year? For the record if I could get him at slot, I would take. Maybe a little over slot. I would not be willing to guarantee MLB but would agree to put him in AA and if performing move to AAA with an outside chance of MLB but it would require him performing.

If we could get him a slot, or even slot +our extra 5%, I would take him for sure, assuming his medicals check out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's there you have to take him. The draft is a crapshoot no matter what, and you likely won't find a major leaguer anyway, so roll the dice on talent. I don't think he will be, though.

DirtySox Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 (edited) Mayo mock. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-july-13-2022?t=mlb-draft-coverage Quote 26. White Sox: Tucker Toman, 3B, Hammond HS, S.C. (No. 35) Toman is considered one of the best high school hitters in the class and the White Sox showed they were willing to change direction from previous Drafts and look at prep bats, like they did in taking Colson Montgomery last year in the first round.

PolishPrince34 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 LSU has put so much money in their baseball program. Heard it will take a lot of money to get some of their recruits to sign. Doesn’t benefit the Sox having the 3rd lowest budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
