Boopa1219 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I hope the Sox draft Trey Cabbage, he's 6'4 180 and he has a nice left swing and strong arm. Plus hit tool.

DirtySox Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 New mock from Callis/Mayo. Callis' scenario has the Sox getting Harris. Mayo has them ending up with Fulmer. http://m.mlb.com/news/article/129269966/sh...test-mock-draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Harris then goes on to be another notable exception to the McCulloch/Broadway rule and becomes another Michael Wacha.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 One more time to clarify - we'll keep this thread open until we near draft time. Once the FS Draft Tracker is up, we'll create a new discussion thread pinned in PHT, with the Tracker and other handy links in the OP. We'll then close this thread. There will also, as usual, be a closed thread pinned in this FS forum with just the picks and status in a single post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 I am hoping the Sox get Fulmer, and if not, Jay. If both those guys are gone, one of the SS. I know Stephenson is the flavor of the week, but HS catchers are really hard to project. I know the organization can use catching, every single organization can, but they usually take longer to develop, especially a HS guy. I'd rather they spend 4th-10th rounders on a college guy. If the guy turns into Ron Karkovice, it's a win, and I don't think you want to spend the 8th pick on that. The Sox did pick Kurt Brown 5th in 1985. Barry Bonds was the next selection.

And Stephenson is exactly the type of hitter that the White Sox never develop. Big power with a lot of swing and miss potential in his game.

Barry Bonds was the next selection. yeah talk about the catcher position, i agree, take an college catcher. 1. Ward 2. Mitchell Nau 3. Chris Robinson they are all older classment in college, so the odds are on the sox side. draft them and let them sort themselves out with their performances.

LDF Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 other notable names, h/s positional players who were hurt the whole season. Kep Brown, Hoeing Thompson. they were suppose to have separated them selves from other with their bat.... but who knows now. the highest ceiling of these 3 is kep brown, a potential 1 rounder coming into the season.

Buehrlesque Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Suppose that in the first seven picks (in whatever order), all the "big" names are gone The SSs (Swanson, Rodgers, Bregman) and the pitchers (Jay, Tate, Fulmer). Who would you like to see the Sox take in this scenario? Personally, I'd bypass Harris and go for Benintendi or maybe Happ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sox have not said a word about Benitendi, so that's who I predict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) Sox need the best player at 8 regardless, with no picks round 2 and 3. I do not want to hear under slot and Sox in the same sentence on Monday. The thing with this draft is that there is no clear separation of talent between the 8th best player and the 25th best player, so if all things are equal and you can get a guy at a discount to allow you to grab some higher profile talent when you pick again, wouldn't that be the most logical course of action? Sounds like Jay is now starting today at 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Stephenson would be cool. Risky, but cool. I don't love any of the top pitching prospects. They all have their flaws and their upside (then again, so does anyone, especially at this stage in their careers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't really have "loud" tools though. The Sox just don't really value guys like Benintendi. Especially in the 1st round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
