Hopefully someone like Brentz is so high up on their board, they can't pass him up.

Brentz is hardly a stud though. He's seen as a "safe" college hitter with moderate upside.

I'd like Brentz, but it's going to be Workman. Put it on the board, yes.

I keep hearing comparisons to Braun and Markakis, his college career has had its ups and downs, but I ‘d argue that his ceiling is pretty respectable.

And a few injuries this season slowed him down.

A wild card might be Eibner from Arkansas.

Nice two way-player. I can't decide whether i'd want him to pitch or hit. Any thoughts?

Sox would probably want him to pitch, but there's some that think he's a first round talent on offense now.

I'd take him on the mound. Too many K's at the plate. Nice power though.

According to Merkin, White Sox prepare to draft signable college pitcher and then tell fan-base that's he's an impact type.

 

I guess our franchise wants to transform into the Baltimore Orioles of the AL Central. I am so glad that we have Lance Broadway III waiting in the wings.

Let's just hope whoever we draft doesn't get interviewed by Hawk and Stone and say that he loves to backdoor guys.

Does Workman even have any plus pitches? At least Wojo has two plus pitches and durability.

I'll go Wojo or a player that falls for some reason. IE: McGuire, Choice, Cox.

His curve is pretty decent. Assuming that this organization can perfect his cutter that has some potential too.

This f***ing team makes it hard to like it from an organizational standpoint at times.

 

 

It would be a lot nicer picking in the 9-10 range instead of 13, especially since the Reds have a lot of the needs we have.

Robbie Aviles has some pretty bad timing just went down with a partial tear of a ligament in his elbow.

Curve is plus. Some have it as plus-plus. Cutter may have plus potential too. It certainly looked good when I watched him.

 

Workman's 6'5", 225. That's not a durable frame?

It may not affect him too much though. Teams don't seem to worry about those elbow injuries so much any more. I wouldn't be surprised to see him go top 5 rounds still and get paid a good chunk of change.

Ha I remember that quote too. Typical

Durability with the fastball, I meant.

Max's brother?

BTW, just told that no Sox scouts were at Deck McGuire's outing last night. Just an FYI

Here's a Workman scouting report from MLB.com

 

Fastball: Workman throws his fastball in the 90-95 mph range. He throws a two- and four-seamer.

 

Fastball movement: He has plus movement -- late sink with bore on the two-seamer and riding life on the four-seamer.

 

Cutter: It's a plus pitch.

 

Curve: He has an average curve ball and he commands it well.

 

Changeup: He's got a good feel for his changeup.

 

Control: He has good command and pitches ahead in the count.

 

Poise: He's always on an even keel and has a competitive, bulldog mentality.

 

Physical Description: Workman has a Kerry Wood-type body.

 

Medical Update: Healthy.

 

Strengths: Strong mix of pitches, good command, excellent competitiveness on the mound.

 

Weaknesses: While he's durable, he has reliever mechanics with a little bit of effort.

So does the actual draft start at 5 tomorrow, or is the first pick a little later?

Preview show starts at 5, Nats should be on the clock at 6.
