July 15, 20241 yr At quick glance Jordan and Sirota are 2 names that stick out like a sore thumb tomorrow for Sox to potentially nab.
July 15, 20241 yr 3 hours ago, DirtySox said: Watch this video and cry about hitters. In 2026 the Sox will have the best young rotation in baseball. Pitching and defense wins championships. A bat would have been great, but this draft is weak and their track record with lefties matters. I'm good with this. Now if Jerry dies in the next two years, a new owner only has to buy a couple outfielders and they will be set. They are set at catcher - Quero SS & 3rd base have promise in Colson, Gonzalez and Ramos Wolkow is something. DH at the least. Baldwin is a wildcard. So yeah, they are gonna have to pay up for some outfield and potentially power, but the starting staff is cost controlled until like 2030. That matters.

July 15, 20241 yr I'm confused. I always see stuff like this when publications eval a draft. About our 1st rounder, MLB.com says: Quote 5) White Sox: Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas We at MLB Pipeline had him as the top-ranked pitcher in the class. But then, at pick #24, they say this about the Braves' pick: Quote 24) Braves: Cam Caminiti, LHP, Saguaro HS (Ariz.) The Braves likely didn’t expect Caminiti, the best left-hander in the class, to be available here. Both are left-handed. Why isn't Hagen Smith the best left-hander in the class? Is top ranked different from "best"?

July 15, 20241 yr Alright… f*** it. Extend Crochet until 2030 and roll to town with the three headed lefty monster. Trade Robert and Fedde and Kopech and everyone else.

And Thorpe will look that much better as a back end guy. I wonder if he’ll be even more effective if he happens to pitch game 2 of a 3-game series, slotted between two of the power lefties. Not sure if that actually matters, but it sounds great in theory.

July 15, 20241 yr Love what they did with first 3 picks. Hagen was my favorite pitcher in draft and is going to be a stud if he stays healthy.

July 15, 20241 yr I know we’re excited about the lefties and Thorpe, but do not sleep on Grant Taylor. He is a very bad man.. third best pitching prospect in the system. Coin flip on who has better stuff, him or Smith.

Coin flip on who has better stuff, him or Smith. I think he may be the most slept on P in the entire system. The stuff looked electric when he’s been healthy in his few starts. I can’t wait to see more of him and how he looks when he’s bumped to WS in high A
July 15, 20241 yr Those videos of Larson are interesting, seems like his FB has 2 seam action. That should make him much harder to hit. You know it's going to move a lot, but which way?
