Was just going through BA's Mock from last week, and the first college pitcher taken is Barco at 18. This college pitching class is wrecked.

It is but I'm starting to think that's the direction they're gonna go with their 1st pick.  Campbell, Cannon, Tidwell should be in the mix along with some of the injured guys like Preilipp, Sims or Rocker.....

    You're not supposed to get upside like this with the 26th pick.  

  • I don’t think selecting Schultz is going to end Longenhagens jokes about how Shirley only selects players within a drive from his house

I know they like Hughes from Gonzaga too. They can’t afford Rocker imo

I get the cost but Rocker would be so old school White Sox in that they will draft him and expect him to pitch in September and be in the rotation next year.

Rocker's leverage is gone.  He'll sign for what a team offers him or he'll sit out again.

Cermak hit 3 home runs yesterday including 2 grand slams.  DUDE.

Since we are talking about the Sox possibly being into college pitching.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/10-breakout-pitchers-of-the-2022-college-baseball-season/

Quote

It’s been said that college baseball is light on proven pitchers this season, and while that’s unequivocally true, it does mean that the door is open for new standout arms to emerge.

These are 10 pitchers who stepped into the void, made big leaps from previous seasons and became big names on the scene in college baseball with breakout 2022 campaigns so far.

Quote

Jonathan Cannon, RHP, Georgia

Expectations have long been high for Cannon at Georgia, but the canceled 2020 season and an early-season bout with mononucleosis in 2021 have contributed to the righthander not quite putting it all together. He’s developed into a workhorse for the Bulldogs this season, however, as he has a 1.71 ERA, a matching .171 opponent batting average, 46 strikeouts and just three walks in 47.1 innings.

Quote

Cooper Hjerpe, LHP, Oregon State

Hjerpe had a 4.21 ERA in 77 innings last season, but this season, his excellence has helped Oregon State withstand some injuries to other key pieces on the pitching staff. In 41.2 innings, the lefthander has a 1.94 ERA, 68 strikeouts compared to 10 walks and a .180 opponent batting average. Last weekend against Stanford, Hjerpe struck out 17 batters, which tied the Oregon State single-game program record.

Quote

Jake Bennett, LHP, Oklahoma

After putting up a 6.34 ERA in 55.1 innings for the Sooners last year, Bennett has a 2.09 ERA, a 46-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .205 opponent batting average in 43 innings this season. Crucially, he has also avoided the long ball. In 2021, he surrendered seven of them. This season? Just one. He gives Oklahoma a chance to win every single Friday night.

Jonathan Cannon is shut down with a forearm strain.  I hate everything.

That's a brutal last name.

At least his first name isn't Richard.

Soooo Jackson Holliday (Matt's son) has made a Luxian like jump and may now be the best player in the country.  ?

Don’t know anything about this draft class but I want the Sox to do the Montgomery/Kath approach but with outfielders this time.

I want a deeper class this time. I like last years draft a lot but they need some more arms.

They took two HS infielders last year because they finally took the two highest rated players on their board.  If they take two HS outfielders this year it should because they are the two highest rated players on their board and not because they're trying to check boxes.

If they wanted to get the two highest rated players possible, they should have offered Rodon the QO.

Not a chance Barco lasts that long. BA has him going 18th in the most recent mock.

Yeah but once you see it, it's almost impossible to forget about it. That's something that stays with you for a long time.....

FYI- it's pronounced Chirpy.  How they get Chirpy from that I have no idea.  

I see the first mock draft is up at future sox/Sox machine. 

James has us taking left handed high school prep star Justin Crawford, Carl's son. 

I like it!
