I'm old enough to remember when Gordon Beckham was going to be our savior. I stated I'd be happy if he turned out to be as good as Tadahito Iguchi for several years and was laughed at and ridiculed for having such "low" expectations for this "can't miss superstar." He never even came close to being a Tadahito Iguchi.

This thing that happened 17 years ago on a message board really rankled you huh

The White Sox could have taken a legit five tool outfield prospect in Strosnider and passed.

Same with Gasparino.

Guess they will have to trade Mune and their infield surplus for ANY pitching and outfielders unless one pencils in Antonacci and Peters in LF and CF for the next five years.

I assume some facetiousness here; nevertheless, to replace departees, downturns in performance (as we know), injuries (as we know), trade for young players at different positions. Up the middle ballplayers are of extreme high value. And just upgrades.

Still catching up, so this may have been answered already. But anyways, in rounds 11-20 the first $150K don’t go against your bonus pool. If you can get your overslot targets in these rounds it’s a more economical way to spend your allotment

166 overall, White Sox: Alex Weingartner, OF, St. Augustine Prep (NJ) (No. 159)

The top prospect from the Garden State, Weingartner was initially seen as a two-way prospect, up to 96 mph on the mound, but his athleticism has led scouts to see him as more of a position player. The 6-foot-2 athlete set a 60-yard dash record (6.24 seconds) at the Prep Baseball Report Super 60 and has dynamic power from the right side. The Penn State recruit is still a little raw around the edges but could take a leap as he focuses solely on hitting. A high school shortstop, he was announced as an outfielder, where his strong arm will play.

285 overall, White Sox: Matthew Bucciero, OF, Fairfield (NR)

Bucciero earned MAAC Player of the Year honors after leading the conference in homers (20), RBIs (54) and slugging percentage (.735). At 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, he has big power from the right side and is a fit in right field. Notably, his twin, Daniel, was a ninth-rounder out of Fordham last year and just entered the Athletics’ Top 30 Prospects list.

315 overall, White Sox: Kyle Casteel, RHP, Butler (PA) HS (No. 162)

The 6-foot-4 righty stands out for his size and pitchability after taking a leap forward in his senior season. The West Virginia commit touches 95 mph and has held his velocity deep into starts, and it's easy to see him adding another tick or two as he matures. Casteel’s best pitch is currently a slider -- he’s been able to manipulate the shape well -- and his changeup has promise as a third offering.

345 overall, White Sox: Braden Holcomb, OF, Vanderbilt (No. 226)

An all-state tight end in the Florida high school ranks, Holcomb brings huge raw power in his 6-foot-4 frame. The right-handed slugger was the Commodores' best hitter this year but has struggled with a wood bat in the Cape Cod League, which raises questions about how his aggressive approach will work against advanced pitchers in pro ball. Holcomb is passable in center field and has played some third but profiles best as a solid corner outfielder with a strong arm.

435 overall, White Sox: Cameron Johnson, LHP, Oklahoma (No. 250)

A first-round talent as a Florida high schooler, Johnson opted to go to LSU and transferred to Oklahoma after severe control issues as a freshman. Walks remain an issue, but the 6-foot-6 southpaw has overpowering stuff, led by a fastball up to 99 mph with sink and an upper-80s changeup that needs to be in the zone more. Johnson can be quite difficult on lefties, which gives him a nice floor as a reliever -- if he can iron out his mechanics.

585 overall, White Sox, Connor Fennell, RHP, Vanderbilt (NR)

At just 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, and with a fastball that sits in the upper 80s, Fennell doesn't stand out on paper. But his sidearm delivery and extension give his arsenal unusual shapes and make him hard to touch. The New Hampshire native is a metrics darling, with impressive control and a track record of success in the SEC, but he will have to continue to be an outlier to succeed in pro ball.

Where did the Dos/Tres Getzes nickname come from?

Have been traveling...
