April 24, 2025Apr 24 Appenzeller finally made his season debut. He was good and will only get better.
April 24, 2025Apr 24 I dunno where's Charles Davalan might fall, but I wouldn't mind the Sox taking him in the 3rd round or something. Dude is just a player.
April 25, 2025Apr 25 SoxMachine mock draft pick for Sox The highest-rated college players on my Watch Board are Oklahoma RHP Kyson Witherspoon and Tennessee 2B Gavin Kilen. While I’m tempted to favor my feelings, we're trying to guess which direction Mike Shirley and Chris Getz will pull the White Sox with their first-round selection. My gut says that it’s Arizona outfielder Brendan Summerhill. Summerhill checks off many boxes that Getz and assistant GM Josh Barfield have stressed since starting Rebuild III. Defensive versatility allows Summerhill to play all three outfield positions, possibly providing an answer to who plays center field once Luis Robert Jr. is gone. At the plate, Summerhill has more contact over power and is tough to strike out (11.8 percent K-rate this season). With six triples, Summerhill has good speed out of the batter’s box. The downside is a lack of home run power (probably a 40 grade at best), and base stealing technique is poor for Summerhill’s athleticism (16-for-28 in his college career). Plus, Summerhill fractured his right hand against West Virginia in late March and has almost missed a month of games. Weigh the pros against the cons, then note that he's a local product (Whitney Young High) who hit pretty well in the Cape Cod League last summer (.286/.358/.441 in 24 games). Summerhill feels like a White Sox pick. https://soxmachine.com/2025/04/2025-mlb-draft-report-mock-draft-1-0#coral_thread Just believe they need more impactful power in the minors... Wolkow and Zapata are both struggling right now. Reading this write-up, he feels more like a slightly lesser version of Andrew Benintendi coming out of the Univ of Arkansas. Plus any hitter who's dealt with an injury in his draft year can be a bit scary...although obviously Braden's off to a fast start in Low A. Being a local product makes it even more likely the Sox take him for the "feel good/marketing" angle as well.
April 25, 2025Apr 25 Summerhill at 1-10 would be a ridiculous reach. College bats are down in this year’s draft. Strength is HS shortstops. That’s a demo that is traditionally pretty safe, too. I say they need to stay disciplined and draft best hitter available. Chances are that it’ll be a HS guy. Working out so far with Bonemer. One or two more guys like that added at 1-10 and 2-1 would go a long way.

April 26, 2025Apr 26 Harold, is it bad I thought Gavin Kilen reminded me of Gavin Lux (not realizing the name sharing)?
April 26, 2025Apr 26 LSU/UT was one of the best college games I’ve ever seen. Go out of your wait to find highlights

May 4, 2025May 4 Dude can play the absolute hell out of CF. If his shoulder was 100% he's a lock top 10 pick.
