2023 MLB Draft thread

White Sox are in a good spot at 15. Could be a spot for college pitching or one of the better prep bats due to the amount of college bats who look like top 10 players. It'll be tough to pass on Waldrep or Lowder

    He has zero chance to play SS and he swings the bat like he's underwater.  

  • I don't quite understand how one can have a 30 grade run tool and play shortstop. Though I'm just a filthy casual draft fan.

  • It took like 15 minutes of clicking, but I finally got us there.

I'm out on Lowder.  He reminds me too much of Clevinger.  I wouldn't be surprised if they grab a college bat especially if guys like Wilson, Shaw or Ahuna (if the NCAA ever clears him to play) are there.  It's shaping up to be a pretty good draft up top.

It’s the only profile that Shirley hasn’t selected yet. Really good class though. If they went college bat, I’d hope for an up the middle profile for sure. McGonigle and Head should be in the mix on prep side. I really hope they don’t take prep pitching at 15 though. That’s the one thing I wouldn’t be thrilled with there. 

I would be surprised if they went HS pitcher as well.  Last year was a gift when one of the highest ceiling players fell in their lap at the back of the 1st round.  I don't expect that to happen again.  After last years pitcher heavy draft I will expect them to go hitters with at least the top couple picks.  Maybe even a catcher!

Jack Payton come on down!

Jack can hit a little but he probably won't stay at catcher so he fits the Sox profile. 

Well hello there Mr Man.  That's a really short loose swing w/a direct path to the ball.  Me likey.

 

Dudes are coming out of the gate HOT!  Teams are going to have some tough decisions to make at the top of this draft.

Don't tell @fathom he's another Flossmoor Kid.

 

So what you mean is that the Sox can get local guys in the first two rounds

Head and Wolkow?  I wouldn't put Coupet in the 2nd round discussion just yet.  This strike throwing is a revelation but if he shows it all spring he could get there because his CB is an absolute banger.  Right now I have Oppor ahead of Coupet. 

Man gotta say. Love Grifol

This Dude is Nas-tee.

 

I'm trying to think of recent draftees who had a higher floor than Wilson and the only names I can come up with are Rutshman and Bregman.  Wilson doesn't have the ceiling those two had but he's going to play SS in the big leagues for a long time. 

 

 

 

Gosh. This draft class sure seems stacked right?

It’s pretty loaded. There’s never this many college shortstops and it’s due to the 2020 draft. Fun class 

This Kid is really really good. 

 

Caught some of this start, Butler had no chance

 

 

I really like Skenes.

Love this draft class! College is loaded with players. Skenes has some crazy movement with high velocity. Big fan of Jacob Wilson can only dream he falls to 15. 

He has a nasty head whack but that's some premium stuff from the left side and it looks like there's some deception in there too.
