SoxFan1 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 10:04 PM) Wonder how far Smoral does end up dropping...? Has to be signability, right? He went to the Blue Jays at 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 08:04 PM) There goes Jose's kid Sox should have taken him just because, but then I saw he didn't have the stache and realized why he slid in the draft and didn't go #1 overall.

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) What would be very hilarious...if the White Sox drafted Ozney Guillen just to spite Ozzie, lol. Edited June 5, 2012 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the Sox have actually produced quite a bit of major league players through the draft (comparatively speaking). I don't like it but I also like the potential of the guy the Sox picked (other guys more, but thats not saying the Sox picked a crappy player). This isn't Kenny Jr the Sox picked here. Or even Wes Whisler (who was a garbage pick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Rangers are a fantastic organization and just went with a guy way off the radar (from a comp round perspective). Just putting things in perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShandyMan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 barnum- i like the way his swing looks. we need somewhat of a prospect at 1B in our system anyway. would have liked to see smoral though, shocked they didnt pick him considering they were looking at him for #13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I don't mind the Keon pick. The Sox do need some 1b prospects in the system, and they've already let it be known they don't like the pitching depth in this year's draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerbaho-WG Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Seems like he was knocked because he is locked into 1B defensively. So? He's all about the bat and power. If you don't hit you're probably not going to make it to the big leagues anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'll say one thing, if you grade the picks based upon MLB's comps, then the Sox win out (Howard & Kemp). All that said, one thing stands out about both of these guys. They have mlb body types now and great bat speed. It is something that stood out about Viciedo as well. I like the fact that we are getting guys with some upside if they pan out. These two guys immediately become the best power prospects in the Sox system (Sox really didn't have any other then the raw Thompson, unless you look at a guy like Wilkins). And these two have better power potential then Trayce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Soxfan Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 What was the point they were making about compensation picks that do not sign? You lose the money? Do you know get an extra pick next year if your compensation pick does not sign? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's all about the bat and power. If you don't hit you're probably not going to make it to the big leagues anyways. Excellent points. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Sox try him in left field. Sounds like a few teams talked to him about it. You already know he can play solid defense at 1B, so why not try him elsewhere (unless of course a team just really doesn't believe he can do it). Worse case, you move him to 1st a few years from now. The key with him is his bat and that seems to grade out well (swing can get a little long, but you can't coach the bat speed and raw power potential he has).
