Wonder if we'll finally take some HS talent

I doubt we will take very many I don't think we are getting a discount on any of our first 3 picks (well at least not much of one) and Curbelo will almost certainly be an above slot guy. I'd anticipate one above slot high school guy in the first 4 or 5 rounds today then it will be almost all college players until they take a few flyers on high school players late. I could be completely wrong but that is about what I would expect and would be consistent with recent Sox drafts.

2-10 with a 4.65 ERA as a starter this year. 1.46 WHIP, 6.4 k/9.

 

:unsure:

Sox take SS Matt Roman in the 12th

He was really good out of the bullpen his first two years at Washington St. and was apparently good out of the bullpen in the Cape Cod league as well. Stuff probably just doesn't hold as a starter.

Nice seeing jj cooper commenting on a few of our picks. Now another Hickman

That's the Astros' site, right?

 

Hostetler said they would focus on players with unique or standout "plus tools" as well as "baseball players," so that means you should see improve in the overall quality of play in the minor league teams (with a focus on collegiate hitters), even if not all of those players are going to make it onto the prospect lists.

Sox take a HS C Michael Hickman in the 13th round.

White Sox pick Michael Hickman was a dude last year as well. Interesting pick.

What his his college commitment?

 

Clear that there is a change in draft philosophy regarding college players and those with some baseball acumen.

They are doing 5 rounds per hour, which means they'll be at this until 7 at the current rate. My goodness.

Wait. The same Michael Hickman...?

Yes. Took him in 36th last year. Taken out of JUCO this time.

Ah. Didn't see it was out of JuCo, so got confused.

 

That'd be a nice get if he signs.

Not many HS kids picked by the Sox I see? Or about average?

30th round pick is from Plainfield, Il. Definitely a Cubs family :)

They are Cubs fans lol. I was actually teammates with Pat Cashman's older brother in college.

How much information is out there about the high school kid Zach Farrar they took in round 26? When I quickly looked him up, it looks like he is a big time football player with big D1 offers. Is this our bonus baby for this year?

Farrar is already on campus at Oklahoma. Doubtful he'll sign.

Wasn't Michael Hickman in the ACE program?

That's right. Thanks for fixing that.

 

For the FS people out there, any of the late HS picks worth being excited about? I know we drafted our future grounds keeper in the 31st round, but other than that?

Wait, you mean the Sox drafted another Guillen or Williams offspring?

 

:P
