Cubs on the clock. Honestly they can go a ton of directions with their choice.

Now... fathom, Dirty, Jeff.. anyone you eying for the second pick that might fall? :P

I've mentioned this guy a few times before but I really like Mike Foltynewicz. High school RHP from Illinois.

Honestly, no idea right now. My wife is hoping they take Ross Wilson in the 5 round range, as she loved him on Two-a-Days

He'll go way before our next pick.

Something really encouraging with Sale is his command.

And Chris Sale will go way before 13. This draft is unpredictable. I don't expect him to last until 63, but there's certainly a chance.

Hah. I was about to make a post asking for my props.

 

 

Give me DeAndre Smelter.

Well said

Can't see us taking two overslot players. Smelter really wants to go to GT, so who knows.

Kid from Alabama? I would hope the sox scouted over there from kids playing in their own background in their affiliate. Don't want another Desmond Jennings situation. I honestly don't know much about him.

 

I know Jason loves Gary Brown, and is trying to put me on the bandwagon.

No reason for them not to take Cox.

Time for everyone to start bringing up injury concerns with Sale. :)

 

Lot's of pitchers make it with s***ty mechanics. If nothing else, it's proven that our major league staff keeps guys healthy, at least.

Um, wow!

Did they move Vitters out of 3B? Haven't really looked at their minors in a while.

 

NVM they took a pitcher.

Unless they know they will be dumping a lot of salary before the deadline.

Haden Simpson sounds like she should be a hot girl.

Completely thought about that as well.

I would love for the Sox to take J. Parker from UVa in the 2nd round, as he reminds me a lot of Jordan Danks.

Now that I'm happy with the Sox pick, I can't wait to see The Club's draft room episode

Keith Law has Sale ranked as the #47 prospect in the draft.

Cubs drafted a pitcher in the 1st RD who played D2 baseball and was not even on anyones Top 200 board.....ouch...

Is that a good thing? I don't like Parker at all.

Chris? Or Josh? And why are their last names pronounced differently? lol
