But it’s not like law had this guy in the fifties. He said he’d be top ten most years. Yea. It's not a terrible pick by any means, but just kind of boring. I do love the plate discipline aspect.

YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) This board acting like it’s such a terrible pick is so funny. Would venture to guess that most posters have never seen the guy play. Edited July 10, 2023 by YouCanPutItOnTheBoardYES! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I was REALLY getting hyped, thinking we had a chance to take Teel there....something this organization desperately needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 So are we assuming this was a Hahn pick over a Shirley pick? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Chappas Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I like the pick with recent history. This pick in 2020 seems like a business as usual BS. They talk about controlling strike zone as an organization....too bad the MLB doesn't do this but looks like recent drafts focus in this.

Tbh I have no idea about him, I was just excited for Teel + I tend to enjoy Shirley's tendency to, as @Y2Jimmy0 puts it, go "big game hunting." So seeing that he's got real, real low grades as a runner at shortstop was a real deflation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This screams a safe mediocre replacement for Anderson . This way they can trade him. It’s a mlb 2024/25 roster move not a long term plan. This is a guy playing checkers not chess.

Chicago White Sox Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 12 minutes ago, Capn12 said: Same ole 'safe' drafting process....Safe meaning 'we'll sign him easily'. You think Hahn would have realized that “safe” drafting ahead of a rebuild is a bad idea based on how the strategy failed last time and contributed to our competitive window rapidly ending. That being said, at least this kid is a legit SS and not a DH pretending to be a C, a 1B pretending to be a 3B, a DH pretending to be a 1B, or a 5’5”, 150 pound 2B. Still, not a fan of “safe” drafting (ESPN used the word at least five times when describing him) and makes me worry this is a Hahn pick and not Shirley’s. Also, the 30 grade speed is a bit bothersome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
