PolishPrince34 Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I think Jimmy's tweet was largely in jest by the way. He just checks some of the prototypical White Sox boxes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 (edited) 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.

fathom Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

DirtySox Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
