June 7, 201312 yr Yea you have to think Rowdy already let teams know he is not signing. No way he should be there heading into the 10th Round. Edited June 7, 201312 yr by Noonskadoodle
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 05:15 PM) Michalczewski Did I get it right without looking? How do you say it though?
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 05:19 PM) How do you say it though? I assume it sounds like Michael-chef-ski at first glance but I'm probably wrong.
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 06:17 PM) He followed the FutureSox twitter already. Let's assume that means he'll sign. Def has to be a good sign.
June 7, 201312 yr Author I didnt' see this mentioned earlier Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 4h In third round with 91st overall pick, White Sox select cf Jacob May of Coastal Carolina nephew of Carlos May, grandson of Lee May
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 03:25 PM) To be honest, I don't care for taking 1st basemen. For all we know Michalczewski could end up at 1st. You would think it would be an easy position to fill, but guys like Black and Wilkins are long shots to ever play in Chicago. Part of the problem is that the Sox have had Konerko there for 15 years, obviously. Keon Barnum's the only guy right now that anyone's halfway excited about, and part of it is being LH'd and knowing that's going to be a huge need at the big league level over the next 3-5 years. But yeah, you can a 3B or SS or catcher or corner outfielder and you can always move him to 1B if he can't stick at one of those were demanding positions (well, many would argue 1B is more demanding than LF).

June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 06:30 PM) "@FollowtheFrogs: #TCU's Andrew Mitchell leaning towards signing with White Sox. READ: http://bit.ly/17vfjGA " Mitchell said he’ll decide soon whether to sign with the White Sox or return to TCU for his senior year. “Growing up playing football or baseball, whichever sport, I always dreamed of playing in the NFL or the MLB and once I figured out it was baseball in high school I always dreamed of hearing my name called in the MLB draft,” Mitchell said from his home in Houston. “I haven’t made a decision yet. I’m just trying to soak in the moment of hearing my name called and just being with my family.” The assigned pick value for the 123rd pick is $413,000, so Mitchell is looking at a hefty pay day if he signs. It’ll be a surprise if Mitchell returns to TCU. “I’m probably honestly leaning towards starting my career,” he said. “Whenever you get an opportunity it’s hard to pass up with injuries and stuff you can’t really control.” Read more here: http://sportsblogs.star-telegram.com/colle...l#storylink=cpy Looks like he may def sign.
June 7, 201312 yr Round 10 Sox Pick: Bradley Goldberg RHP from Ohio State 6-4 235 pounds hard thrower. What new
June 7, 201312 yr Author Sox draftee twitter handles that I found so far... @TimAnderson7 @danish_Tyler7 @BiGBadTHadd @Jacob_May1 @T_Michalczewski @nblount41 @James_Dykstra Couldn't find Mitchell or Fruedenberg
June 7, 201312 yr In three starts this season, Goldberg has gone 2-0, leading the Big Ten in strikeouts (22) and opposing batting average (.119), while coming in second with a 0.47 earned-run average. His performance thus far this season has already earned him two conference Pitcher of the Week awards. As if his imposing 6-foot-4-inch, 225-pound figure was not enough to intimidate opposing hitters, Goldberg throws a repertoire of pitches that includes a sinker, curveball, slider and a fastball that reaches more than 90 miles per hour. When taking the mound, Goldberg has one goal in mind — dominance. “I’m trying to dictate,” Goldberg said. “I’m trying to throw my pitches and use that sinker to my advantage. I’m not trying to let them take the pace of the game, I’m trying to make sure I’m comfortable with my tempo and I’m throwing the pitches I want in my counts.” http://www.thelantern.com/sports/relentles...36#.UbJhA_mkpVM
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (staxx @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 05:39 PM) Seems like we're saving money to sign our two question marks Who are the two question marks? Michalczewski and whom? The TCU RH?
June 7, 201312 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 06:52 PM) Who are the two question marks? Michalczewski and whom? The TCU RH? Yea he was. Not so sure anymore. 1 question mark as of now, but I'm not gonna lie, Michalczewski following FutureSox that quickly on Twitter can ONLY be a GOOD thing. So maybe NO question marks up to this point. Add one with ROWDY !!!

June 8, 201312 yr good to know these guys are excited about coming on board. somebody needs to get word to them that plenty of playing time is available ASAP
June 8, 201312 yr QUOTE (bbilek1 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) It seems as if the arms we have been targeting tend to be very fresh. I wonder if that's something they look for? Guys with lesser experience so they have a better chance of shaping their pitching minds and tendencies. Also less injury proine I would assume. That's exactly what I noticed. Guys who have fresh arms haven't been pitching long meaning they are babies in term of pitching yet already do it well. So upside might be way higher.
June 8, 201312 yr I hope someone has tweeted as many of our draft picks as possible giving them links to Soxtalk and other tweetsites. Edited June 8, 201312 yr by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
June 8, 201312 yr Looks like Thaddius Lowry & Courtney Hawkins are good friends from their Twitter Feed.
June 8, 201312 yr Assuming they sign, which players just drafted will crack the White Sox top 25/30 prospects within a year? I'm saying Anderson, Danish, May, Mitchell, Lowry, and Michalczewski (if signed) will all be prospects by this time next year. Last year's draft produced prospects in Hawkins, Barnum, Beck, DiMichele, Hansen, Brennan, Basto, Barraza, Johnson, Ayala, and Coats, including a few good late performers in Kiser and Grabe, as well as two interesting pitching prospects in Guerrero and Throne.
