July 10, 20232 yr Leave it for the White Sox to pick the guy whose game is more suited for the steroids era than the one based on speed and athleticism, even at corner positions now.

July 10, 20232 yr I know absolutely nothing about him other than I hate the look of his swing. On aesthetics alone this is a failed pick.

July 10, 20232 yr I'm going to be smart enough to not post anything in this thread that can be used against me in five years

He really wanted to go to a certain school so he contacted the coach and asked if he'd come out and see him play. The coach did and told him he was going to pass because he wasn't good enough to play there. So Emerson went home and built a batting cage in his garage and then bought a fathead of the coach and hung it in back of the cage so he could hit line drives off his face all day. That's the kind of dawg I can respect.

July 10, 20232 yr Okay. I've made it through all the stages of White Sox draft pick grief. I'm fine with the selection I guess. It's not particularly sexy or exciting but could be fine value at 15. Glad it wasn't Waldrep or Yohandy. Rooting for the kid. Let's get it. Edited July 10, 20232 yr by DirtySox
July 10, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, bmags said: This makes no sense Sure it does. We won't even have a premium athlete at SS. Teams like the Reds with McClain (de la Cruz) and Padres (Bogaerts and Kim vs. Tatis in RF) are so stacked they can play dominant athletes on the corners. Whereas the White Sox roster is filled with DHs and players with below average speed across the board with the singular exception of Luis Robert (and maybe Colas if he can hit well enough to hold down a position.)

The last two picks give me hope at least, as their performances have been fantastic this year. And lets be real, our major concern with all of this is (gestures broadly) the White Sox organization

He gonna be a steal and probably land in NY at this rate
