June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 02:52 PM) White Sox select with their 6th RD pick... SS Luis Curbelo, Cocoa HS, Florida Sounds like a good pick from the MLB scouting info.
June 10, 20169 yr Oooo like what I'm reading here. Don't see anything on defense/athleticism but seeing great bat speed and raw power.

Funny, mlb.com was first thing I saw saying great bat speed and raw power, then FutureSox retweeted a guy saying great defense but not a good bat.
June 10, 20169 yr Author QUOTE (ChiliIrishHammock24 @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 01:58 PM) White Sox select with their 5th RD pick.... RHP Jimmy Lambert, Fresno St. U - @JimmyLambert12 San Dimas High rocks!

June 10, 20169 yr Ok, I'm going to take a shower and then get ready to go to the Sox game tonight. Someone will have to take over duties posting draftees and twitter accounts for me.
June 10, 20169 yr From mlb scouting report "Over the summer, he displayed excellent bat speed and some offensive upside. He's been inconsistent this spring, starting off particularly slowly. Fairly physically mature, Curbelo does have some power to tap into. "

Sounds like this kid will likely be in AZ for a while.
June 10, 20169 yr Rob Young @RobertHYoung 17m17 minutes ago Late 1st talent and went in 6th, so will be tough sign. tho Sox have done this before with Michalczewski (2013, 7th) and Zangari (2015, 6th)

Bye Bye Burdi Bonus?
June 10, 20169 yr FutureSox @FutureSox 2m2 minutes ago #WhiteSox 7th rounder: Bernardo Flores, LHP, USC. 3.83 ERA, 45 K, 17 BB in 44.2 IP. Mostly used as a reliever this season.
June 10, 20169 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2016 -> 03:34 PM) yuck. Got to save $$ now to sign Curbelo and hopefully one or two more overslot guys.
June 10, 20169 yr FutureSox @FutureSox 48s49 seconds ago FutureSox Retweeted FutureSox Correction: Those were Flores’ sophomore year stats. 6.70 ERA, 36 K, 16 BB in 41.2 IP this season.

Have to say I'm a bit disappointed that with a comp pick used on a reliever we then have had to use so many other picks on college seniors for signing one third round level high school shortstop. I really like Collins, Hansen and Fisher, but this isn't the haul I was expecting. I'm very open to the fact that I have never heard of any of these players though, but considering the interviews of hostetler I'm surprised to see our strategy of basically slot for top three players then a bunch of college seniors to sign one high schooler.

They only drafted one college senior and technically he's a redshirt junior.

June 10, 20169 yr Well fair enough, I will stop listening to my coworker who said Hall and Lambert were seniors.

June 10, 20169 yr I really hate these day 2 pitchers though, who don't even have the "great command" quotes of a guy like Erwin.
June 10, 20169 yr Author Speaking of college seniors, a lot of them are going off the board in round 8.
