Flash Tizzle Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Just for fun, I'll list my useless draft board. 1. BAP (Best Available Pitcher among Josh Smoker, Michael Main, Madison Bumgarner, Porcello) 2. Nevin Griffith (Most likely available at #25) 3. Matt LaPorta 4. Joe Savery (has recently begun to hit 95mph. Yes, he's a Rice pitcher; but before the season began he was a Top 10 selection.) I envy Arizona here. Aumont and Parker available to suppliment a solid collection of positional players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 01:55 PM) That makes 3 straight surprise picks and 2 out of 3 that I bust out laughing at (Detwiler and Weathers). What's wrong with Detwiler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 01:54 PM) He's good, damn good, so a number two starter certainly isn't a knock. But I don't think with two pitches and the possibility of a third one, you can be an ace. Aces for me have four pitches they can throw for strikes, while Price has only two right now and his change-up is coming along. thats a good point, hes been able to dominate at college with basically only two pitches....his change he just shows to hitters maybe twice a game, and ditto a slow curve...so i can see how that wouldnt translate necessarily that well to the pros....youre right though...even a #2 starter has a few all star seasons usually int he bigs, and id say thats about right for price....beyond being just african american i really think he compares similarly with dontrelle, without the funky motion, but a better slider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) There is gonna be a top ten talent on the board for the Sox at 25, guarenteed. Will the Sox take him is the question? I will guess no. The Rangers being one spot in front of the Sox sucks, as they have the money and need to draft a high-priced pitcher.

A team like the Tigers will, which is why they will be competing for the pennant the next few years while the Sox will be around .500.

Will the Sox take him is the question? I will guess no. I'm not thinking that way quite yet. Everyone that has been picked has been regarded as a 1st round selection, and ahead of the White Sox. If previously unknown first rounders or sandwich picks make it before the Sox then it's possible.

Dick Allen Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Did anyone read the article on how its hard to project college pitchers because the balls that are used in college have much higher seams, and make sliders and curves a lot more wicked than they will be in the majors. Supposedly the ball is different from the minors to the majors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted June 7, 2007 Author Share Posted June 7, 2007 Love the selection of Parker by the Diamondbacks. He's the type of pitcher I'd love for the White Sox to have. Perhaps next year they'll have an opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a mid first round talent that moved up due to signability concerns of a few of the high schoolers. He's also not a high ceiling guy like experts were saying the Nationals would go after.

Supposedly the ball is different from the minors to the majors as well. I heard the opposite. Max Scherzer said pro balls made his breaking stuff better when he went to the Indy League.
