July 9, 20232 yr I love that hostetler has now coded college hitter as a negative the way KW did “athlete” for this board. ?
July 9, 20232 yr So are the Pirates really passing on Skenes and Crews and maybe even Langford too? That seems insane and really dumb to me even if you get massive savings on Clark.

Crazy to pass on both Skenes and Crews, but they kind of did the same thing when they drafted Davis a few years back.
July 9, 20232 yr Max Clark is also a helluva prospect and if he lets you get a top HS arm with your second pick that may be > Skenes/Crews.
July 9, 20232 yr I’ve heard that Pirates might float Thomas White to 42. I’m guessing it’s around $4 million.

July 9, 20232 yr Latest BA mock btw. Quote 15. White Sox — Tommy Troy, 3B, Stanford Slot Value: $4,488,600 Total Bonus Pool: $9,072,800 It’s been college and hitter heavy for the White Sox for a while now in my conversations, and they should be right in the middle of a solid wave of college hitters. In this scenario Troy, Enrique Bradfield, Nolan Schanuel and Chase Davis seem to be the best of the bunch. Chicago gets linked more to the college third base duo of Yohandy Morales and Brock Wilken than others around it as well, and I think they are real options here as well. It’s very hard to see players like Brayden Taylor and Jacob Gonzalez getting much further down the board than this if they are somehow still available with all of the potential landing spots in front. Update: I feel like Brayden Taylor and Jacob Gonzalez could be the top targets for this spot, but they aren’t getting here in how I’ve played out the first round. Don’t count out a prep pitcher with the White Sox, which means Noble Meyer or Thomas White could potentially be options. That’s notable when many teams in the top 20 are notoriously not linked to the prep pitchers. Dart Throw Later Picks: SS Adrian Santana Edited July 9, 20232 yr by DirtySox
July 9, 20232 yr If they want power, then underslot Chase Davis or Morales; please don't reach for them. And Morales is questionable regardless because his lack of plate discipline needs to be fixed, and this isn't a fix 'em organization.
July 9, 20232 yr If we go college bat, I think I prefer Morales. I just don't think a college bat at 15 is the right choice. We need to gamble on some upside to try and turn things around Edited July 9, 20232 yr by Polar Bear
July 9, 20232 yr We using this thread for picks? Or do I have to post in the main forum thread with the awful normies? ?
July 9, 20232 yr Hmm. If Lowder falls and the Sox feel good about the elbow than he would be a steal bc he has the upside the Sox need to gamble on

July 9, 20232 yr My draft prediction is its no one we see coming and then the front office spends more time crowing that no one saw it coming lets say noble meyer or something
July 9, 20232 yr This is the first year I'm watching on ESPN. Has to be better than MLB Network with Harold right?

Sticking with it.
