May 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 2, 2006 -> 07:33 PM) How many teams haven't had a top 10 pick in 15 years? Who knows, I'm too lazy to do the research on that. But I don't see how anyone could argue the Sox have drafted well in the first round.
May 2, 200619 yr QUOTE(fathom @ May 2, 2006 -> 09:45 PM) I honestly can't "fathom" how Anderson's going to be a solid hitter with his current swing. It's so ugly. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was a pitcher batting some of the time. Brian has shown promise, but I think he is overmatched at this point by ML pitching. He may need more farm time. I have picked up on compliments on his defense though. However, even in that area criticism has surfaced saying Rowand is better. Uribe has no patience, but has shown he can hit. The defense is what sets him apart

May 3, 200619 yr They pick at #29 this year and supposedly the draft is deep in righthanded college pitching and not a whole lot else. Expect them to draft another Lance Broadway type. Catching is always in high demand, White Sox have a couple of guys but no sure bets. Then again, no one is a sure bet. They are also short on pure hitters but based on what minimal research I've done there's not a whole lot available in this draft. Back on topic with Anderson ... he has no confidence right now, and for him that's a bad thing. He's not attacking the ball, he's feeling for it because all the K's have him worried. Guillen will give this guy every chance though. Edited May 3, 200619 yr by JimH

Guillen will give this guy every chance though. Personally they rushed him because they had too. They traded rowand and they took a shot with anderson. personally I do not think he will be that good offensively... ever, but a servicable 260 hitter with good D in the majors will be his mark. He is not a great player by anymeans Edited May 3, 200619 yr by quickman
