You must really believe in Kurtz's bat. That's one profile I want the Sox to stay far away from and I think they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 7 hours ago, South Side Hit Men said: If Bazzana, Burns, Condon and Smith are off the board, who do you go with? Who do you think Getz will go with, and will Jerry interfere / continue to interfere? Do you think the organization will shift to athletes over batting cage/DH types with Hahn Haber gone? Have to laugh Jerry slated Jeremy Haber as COO of the NBA 2K League. 1. Cags but he won't be there at 5. 2. I think Getz would love for Smith or Burns to be there at 5. if not I think they go Rainer. 3. Very much yes. Jerry did not like Jeremy Haber. He was Hahns guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Burns pitching against a very good Virginia team. Strikes out the side on 12 pitches in the first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 Burns sure is high energy. Marches around tons, talks to himself, K struts. I love it. He also works very fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Not many big league 1B can make that play. I don't think Cags would have much of a problem transitioning to RF if that's the direction a team wanted to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 BA Mock 1.0. I'd be elated to get Smith. Top of the class has plenty of fine options for picking #5. I also wouldn't mind Montgomery in this spot. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2024-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-charlie-condon-jac-caglianone-make-strong-impressions/ Quote 5. White Sox — Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas Like Burns, Smith has come out of the gate strong this spring. He put together one of the best outings of the season in a week two effort against Oregon State where he struck out 17 batters in six shutout innings. Through five starts and 23 innings he has a 1.57 ERA with a silly 58.8% strikeout rate and 9.4% walk rate. He looks stronger and the delivery looks a bit cleaner in 2024. His fastball velocity is up three ticks to 96 mph on average, while his mid-80s slider has been a consistently plus weapon that likely earns some 70 grades. Smith has unique arm talent from the left side that currently puts him near the top of the draft board and a candidate to be the first pitcher selected. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I am fine with any of the Top 6 in this mock. Generally, I'm against taking pitchers this high because "there's no such thing as a pitching prospect" due to injuries and inconsistencies. But, for me, Burns, Smith, and Montgomery are all in the same tier. I just don't want them to cut a deal with Kurtz so they can afford two college arms coming off TJS with their second round picks. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 I’m always for best player, but I think the Sox need a high end position player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're picking top 5, you can't get cute like that. Take best available and then go position player heavy with picks 2-5 if you really feel the need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Did the Giants signing Snell actually move us up a spot in the draft to #68 or were we already there prior to the signing? I couldn't remember if Snell cost the Giants their 2nd RD pick or just their 3rd since they already signed Chapman. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stays there for Snell because Giants only forfeited a third 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 I hope this is a prep heavy draft because the Sox have an older farm. 11 of the top 30 according to MLB Pipeline are 21 or younger as of today's date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
