February 19, 20233 yr 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
February 19, 20233 yr 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.
February 20, 20233 yr 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!

February 22, 20233 yr Well hello there Mr Man. That's a really short loose swing w/a direct path to the ball. Me likey.
February 23, 20233 yr Dudes are coming out of the gate HOT! Teams are going to have some tough decisions to make at the top of this draft.

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.
March 2, 20233 yr 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.

March 4, 20233 yr 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.
March 4, 20233 yr 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.
