Ugh, if Detroit gets both Castellanos and Allie, I'm going to puke.

Great pick for Detroit.

QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:22 PM) If the Tigers get Allie, i'll be pissed. I think you might be pissed than.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:17 PM) Well the nice thing is that for all those who complained about the Sox making "safe" picks, they really haven't done so since the summer after they won the World Series. So for everyone who talks about not living in the past there, hopefully they will do the samething when it comes to complaining about our drafting. There is still plenty of problems with the White Sox drafting. See the aversion of taking prep players in the 1st round. They also spend an abysmal amount overall. Routinely in the bottom 5 of all baseball. The Chris Sale pick was great, but that doesn't make them immune to criticism.

I had a feeling Brentz was going here. I'm going to follow him just because of all the fanfare that I think is overblown. It's a great value at this point in the draft though.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 09:08 PM) Eibner is the player I want the Sox to get with 2nd pick. I would as well. As a pitcher of course. I think he can really blossom when he starts doing it full time.

I like Wimmers. Haters gon' hate.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 07:24 PM) Now... fathom, Dirty, Jeff.. anyone you eying for the second pick that might fall? Hah. I was about to make a post asking for my props. Give me DeAndre Smelter.

Jim Callis jimcallisBA I like C.Sale a lot. Think he can be good SP, like a little more than Pomeranz. #mlbdraft less than a minute ago via UberTwitter

Good work Chi Sox! I salute you today.

I think it's Chris Sale if he's still there. I would like it too.

I'm hoping Chris Sale might be around at 13. *Crosses Fingers*

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) Mayo thinks Loux will go 6. This pleases me. The Sox can't draft him then.

Twitter FrankiePiliere: #Indians expected to take Drew Pomeranz 5th overall. Told I should take it to the bank

Eliu (Chicago): If Grandal falls to 13, do the White Sox take him with his recent demands rumors? Kevin Goldstein: No. They don't like overslot guys.

Piliere thinks Grandal goes to the Indians.

Frankie Piliere: Source on the Royals: "Think shortstop" Um ok, cryptic huh? ___________ Colon?

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: So, what now. A couple sources tell me it may not be Grandal to KC. Then i ask "probably Sale?" The answer is still no. Are we looking at Choice or Asher Wojciechowski? I think it's going to shock us

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: Hearing Bryce Brentz could end up in the last 5-6 picks of the first round

I have a feeling a few desirable players will slip in the range of the Sox, but they will end up bypassing them anyways.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) No chance he gets past 5 Callis now has him slipping to the Cardinals.

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: Grandal deal is in big trouble with KC. They thought they had a deal and KC doesn't seem too happy about them looking for more now.
