Bowden mock has the Sox with Kyle Tucker, Duquette has the Sox picking Tyler Jay.

I am not for the Sox going under slot to save money for later rounds. In their history of 4th round selections, the team has only drafted 2 players that have put up more than a 1.0 total WAR for their team. Baldwin and Thigpen.

On draft day, this from @BaseballAmerica research: A first-round pick has a 30% chance of never reaching the majors.

All the lefties. Stone did say he thought Jay could be in a major league bullpen this season, and the Sox could use another lefty. Then have him work on getting stretched out this winter and go back to the minors.

interesting draft, seems like anybody can go anywhere and it's not even because of signability.

Probably need Brendan Rodgers to Colorado at 3 for Jay to fall.

That's mainly why I hope they take a bat. It's a crap shoot. Roll the dice on a guy that could be in the lineup for 10 years.

That is one nice thing about this draft. Every mock is different, even at the top. NFL, NBA, you can pretty much tell who the top 20 guys will be in a halfway decent sequence, but here a guy who some might have going #1 might not go until #10.

I believe we will have Fulmer.

Bowden is absolutely clueless

There's just something about the fact that he's not even starting in college that makes me afraid of him. I know the Sox can change a lot about his mechanics, but I'd feel much better if I at least had SOME evidence that the stuff works for multiple innings.

Bowden is absolutely clueless

I think most of these guys are clueless. Last year we read how much Cooper loved Aiken, how much the Sox loved Kolek, yet Hahn said, and he might have been BSing, that Rodon was the one guy they wanted all along, which made a lot of sense considering how leery they seem to be about HS pitching in round 1. Hahn did mention before that draft on a broadcast that Rodon was the best pitcher in college.

Well they have thrown him for 3-4 inning saves at times. He's starting today. He's the best pitcher on their staff. Hartleb is a dope though and had his best pitcher relieving instead of starting.

The #WhiteSox couldn't celebrate much when Chris Sale fell to them five years ago. Rick Hahn remembers why: http://bit.ly/1KkB6TD

It's what you do with the warts drafts that make you a good organization.

McDaniel's final mock has Sox taking Fulmer over Jay

Tate or Fulmer would make me happy. The only reason we select Jay over either of them is #rotationofallofthelefties

He's not a traditional reliever so I don't think that is fair. What I am worried about is developing him like he's Sale or Rodon.

Tate drops to the Sox I will be very happy.

Again, you dont draft for need, you take best available. If the Sox have a rotation of all lefties down the road, so be it. I will go into battle with the Sale, Rodon, Q, and Jay as a 1-4.

 

 

Does Dillon Tate's mechanics remind anyone else of Dontrelle Willis?
