June 9, 201510 yr I really like the Hickman pick, he sounds like a really good kid with a great head on his shoulders. I think the Sox can help develop him as a pitcher, he definitely has a major league starter's frame.
June 9, 201510 yr This is also worth noting... Chicago White Sox @whitesox Jun 8 Chicago, IL WATCH: Sox ACE alum Blake Hickman prepares for the #MLBDraft: http://atmlb.com/1F4dXO0
June 9, 201510 yr man's been involved with the White Sox since basically forever ago. Seems like a long time coming.
June 9, 201510 yr Really like the draft so far, Sox sticking to what they know, pitching and lots of it, Love the Fulmer, Stephens and Hickman picks. Avi and Eaton's addition to the sox have shown we can getting hitting thru other channels so just keep developing quality pitching and we'll be fine.

June 9, 201510 yr According to his bio, he was named White Sox Double Duty selection in 2008 and has a bunch of other accolades since then from the Sox.
June 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 03:10 PM) Blake Hickman. #69 on BA's top 500. BY FAR the best college player available. FWIW, if the draft had played to form, that would have put him in the middle of the second round.
June 9, 201510 yr Interesting Fringe 5 info on Jordan Stephens from Fangraphs. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-fringe-...-draft-edition/

Am I seeing that right? As for Hickman, awesome story. Glad that story continues with the White Sox.
