July 14, 20241 yr Sox pick #5 tonight. There are rumors that Travis Bazzana might fall to 5 tonight..... I rank him and Condon ahead of Griffin (who I want if Bazzana is gone). Figure we can start a thread of who we want and to talk about the upcoming selections.
July 14, 20241 yr Happy Draft Day! Let's transition to this thread for today's rumors and the actual selections. There will be spoilers posted in this thread as picks often leak out before they happen on TV. If that's not your jam, don't read the threads. We usually use spoiler tags, but can't always guarantee it. Quote Day 1 Draft coverage begins with a preview show at 6 p.m. ET Sunday on MLB Network, MLB.TV, MLB.com and on the MLB App, with the Draft beginning at 7 p.m. ET. The first round will also be carried by ESPN. Day 2 (Rounds 3-10) and Day 3 (Rounds 11-20) can be seen beginning at 2 p.m. ET each day on MLB.com. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-draft-overview-and-schedule Edited July 14, 20241 yr by DirtySox
July 14, 20241 yr Waiting for @Harold's Leg Lift's bat signal. Griffin (Callis) or Caglianone (everyone else)? What say you, Harold? Seems good chance of Wetherholt to CLE so that option probably isn't there. And I doubt that report of Bazzana sliding to us, the As will take him at 4 if he falls.

July 14, 20241 yr 1 minute ago, DirtySox said: That's my favored outcome. It’s not crazy. I think there’s legit shot it’s JJ at 1 and in that scenario I’m guessing Bazzana gets to As at 4. I’d assume they take him and workout a deal but the draft is always chaos.
July 14, 20241 yr I'm not going to pretend I know all that much about any of these guys, but I would not be mad if it ends up being Jac. The Sox need more power in their system incredibly bad. And if he turns out to be the real deal, he is a guy they would never get in free agency.
July 14, 20241 yr I'm Surprised that Bazzana would drop to five but admittedly I haven't looked at any mocks drafts in the last couple weeks.

The Sox need more power in their system incredibly bad. And if he turns out to be the real deal, he is a guy they would never get in free agency. And if he's as athletic as everybody's claiming, they can give him a couple of years to learn how to play a corner outfield position.
July 14, 20241 yr Kiley's last mock. He has Cleveland taking Bazzana saying that the chatter about Wetherholt is posturing to get Bazzana's price down. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/40548158/2024-mlb-mock-draft-31-kiley-mcdaniel-predictions-final-picks-update 1.) Guardians - Bazzana 2.) Reds - Condon 3.) Rockies - Burns 4.) Athletics - Wetherholt Quote 5.) Chicago White Sox Jac Caglianone, 1B, Florida I think Cags is under consideration at every pick before this to varying degrees and won't get past either here or Kansas City with the next pick. Hagen Smith and Konnor Griffin (likely under slot) are seen as the other likely options for the White Sox and Wetherholt would also be in the mix if he's still on the board.

July 14, 20241 yr Kiley's added through the second round in his mock. Quote 43. Chicago White Sox: Caleb Bonemer, SS, Okemos (Michigan) HS 68. Chicago White Sox: Zack Stewart, RF, Missouri State Edited July 14, 20241 yr by DirtySox
July 14, 20241 yr i want the highest upside player available, hope they go with either Griffin or Wetherholt, if not those guys then Smith or Burns
July 14, 20241 yr Draft thread belongs on the FutureSox board imo. Edited July 14, 20241 yr by DirtySox
