February 23, 20251 yr 45+ FV tier 3. Tyler Bremner (21.2), RHP, UC Santa Barbara 4. Aiva Arquette (21.7), SS, Oregon State 5. Cam Cannarella (21.8), CF, Clemson 6. Billy Carlson (19.0), SS, Corona HS (CA), Tennessee commit 7. Marek Houston (21.2), SS, Wake Forest 8. Ethan Holliday (18.3), 3B, Stillwater HS (OK), Oklahoma State commit 9. Gavin Fien (18.2), 3B, Great Oak HS (CA), Texas commit 10. Eli Willits (17.6), SS, Fort Cobb-Broxton HS (OK), Oklahoma commit 11. Brendan Summerhill (21.7), CF, Arizona 12. Trent Caraway (21.2), 3B, Oregon State 13. Kayson Cunningham (19.0), SS, Johnson HS (TX), Texas commit 14. Cameron Appenzeller (18.5), LHP, Glenwood HS (IL), Tennessee commit 15. Caden Bodine (21.6), C, Coastal Carolina https://global.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/43938826/2025-mlb-draft-rankings-10-kiley-mcdaniel-top-50-prospects-ncaa-high-school This part of the class is as deep as you'd hope for based on prior drafts, and there's at least one player of nearly every type in this group. Also, most everyone in this tier will move around over the next few weeks as early-season impressions formulate, so don't get married to this order. #10 Willits (son of former big leaguer Reggie) is a 6-1 shortstop with great on-base skills, but limited in-game power.

February 23, 20251 yr Deep draft class without a real superstar. Not a terrible year to pick 1-10 and 2-1 (41). They ought to be able to get good players with both picks. Maybe not franchise altering players, but good ones. He has Dumesnil at 41. I doubt that severely, but him at 41 and Willits at 10 would be a good haul.
February 23, 20251 yr The White Sox pick at 10 and 44 actually. Minor change but wanted to be accurate.
February 23, 20251 yr I love and I mean LOVE this freakin dude. He was at d3 Lawrence College and transfered to Minnesota. True 5 tool potential.
February 23, 20251 yr I want them to draft Appenzeller; however, Sox need athletic outfielders. Still wish Sox drafted Bradfield over Gonzalez.

For every 500-1000 Kelenics...there are just a handful of generational talents to impact the game to the extent that both those guys did...with both power and speed. That puts so much pressure on the bat to play if you can't handle CF or RF. There are obviously anomalies out there....like Stephen Kwan, but they are few and far between.

The White Sox need up the middle players because they're expensive and they'll never pay for them. That shouldn't be a controversial opinion. I also don't think Taylor will be the BPA at 10.

I also don't think Taylor will be the BPA at 10. It was more the second part of the hot take I was surprised by. I don't think Taylor will be the best available player at 10 either but really good hitters are expensive too and they desparetly need them too. If they decide they want the best available bat at 1-10 I would certainly understand.

He leads the country with 25 strikeouts and a ridiculous 75.8% strikeout rate. He struck out 11 batters vs. Hofstra in five innings week one and then 14 batters vs. Samford week two. He’s averaging 95.1 mph on his fastball—nearly three ticks better than in 2024—and has generated a colossal 40.9% swinging strike rate with the pitch on 76% usage.
February 28, 20251 yr Don't be shocked if the Sox get a good player at 10. They do better there than when they pick higher. Crochet, Sale and Big Frank were all picked later.

Fulmer too?
