  1. QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 28, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) In the comments Callis rules out Harvey due to the Boras connection and adds Wimmers/Workman/Eibner to the list of possibilities. The pick was Asher Wojciechowski, for those who don't feel like clicking. Kind of what I expect with Harvey as well. I'd be willing to wager a large amount that one of Workman/Wimmers will be the Sox selection.
  2. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 27, 2010 -> 09:04 PM) I'm thinking this team gets torn down after the draft. I'm looking forward to it. Seconded.
  3. Tyler's K-rate is becoming rather scary.
  4. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 27, 2010 -> 03:31 PM) James Paxton might be my choice. I wonder if the stance on working with Boras has changed any. Also wondering because of Harvey.
  5. QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ May 27, 2010 -> 02:05 PM) Some caution for those dead set on wanting Wilson: I've been hearing a lot of negatives regarding his pitch recognition as well, and how it's far away from what it should be at this point. I don't think it's in any way realistic the Sox consider him with the 13th pick.
  6. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ May 26, 2010 -> 10:27 AM) I'd be exstatic with either guy. I really like the bat options better than the pitching options as of now. I haven't feel in love with too many pitchers, especially the ones the Sox are likely to target. My thoughts exactly. Not that enthusiastic about any of Wimmers/Workman/Hahn/Asher. Harvey, McGuire, Ranaudo though, sign me up.
  7. Piliere's 1st Full Mock Draft I wouldn't mind Sale either. Better bat than Castellanos at this point, and is projected to be a true power guy. I don't like his defensive shortcomings though. He's pretty much Travis Snider 2.0
  8. Baseball America's Draft Top 200
  9. QUOTE (danman31 @ May 25, 2010 -> 03:58 PM) You're quick. I'm surprised to see this actually. A HS talent that's supposedly pricey. Big fan of Castellanos. I believe Callis noted that he won't be too difficult to sign. Probably seeking overslot, but not an Austin Wilson amount.
  10. QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2010 -> 05:02 PM) Says Sox are looking for college pitchers who won't demand huge money. I asked someone about Austin Wilson today, and said there's no way we're drafting another outfielder in the first round. Pretty much what everyone is saying. Par for the course. I wouldn't mind the cheaper college arm in the 1st round if the organization would splurge later on some of harder signs that fall, but we haven't seen much of that. If we break the 5 million threshold in draft spending I will be impressed.
  11. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 24, 2010 -> 10:01 AM) i know Ranaudo has been used in relief lately, i imagine that coupled with his injury is contributing to his sharp fall. I just don't think he'll fall that far. Things are starting to solidify a bit more with only 14 days left. Should be interesting to see how others see some of these players this week. Mayo will be posting his 10 - 20 mock, and I believe we are due something from Piliere. Sickels just posted his top 50 as well.
  12. QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ May 24, 2010 -> 09:52 AM) He has Anthony Ranaudo at #26 and Austin Wilson slipping out of the first round? I can never get a good read on Seiler, i don't know if he has a background here, or he's just doing junior scouting like the rest of us. Pretty sure he is rather legitimate. Frequent scouting trips and gets most of his information from scouts/reputable inside sources. Ranaudo has been dropping hard. BA noted that he might drop out of the 1st round with his injury issues, weak performances, and Boras representation. Wilson is harder to get a read on, but supposedly his pitch recognition is becoming very worrisome and of course the signability issues.
  13. 2 weeks until draft day. Andy Seiler - Mock Draft # 7
  14. QUOTE (CSF @ May 23, 2010 -> 04:43 PM) Hudson: 8 IP, 3 hits, 0 ER, 0 BB, 11 K Yeah, remember when he was bad? 1 BB actually. 1 is close to 0 though.
  15. I'm becoming more and more fond of Castellanos. Mayo thinks he won't be as tough a sign as many people seem to think and that he wants to get his pro career started ASAP. It's hard to not get your hopes up with some of the projectable young bats that will be available at 13. It's unfortunate that college pitcher is all I've been hearing so far.
  16. QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 21, 2010 -> 01:04 PM) Which game will we win? We will beat Volstad.
  17. Thanks. Gauntlett Eldemire is such a great name.
  18. Alex Wimmers will be returning to the mound tonight after being sidelined with Hamstring issues even though he won't be at 100%. Game is versus Minnesota at 6 Central on the Big Ten Network. I know he isn't the sexiest arm in the draft, but he's a legitimate mid first round candidate and an option at 13. Definitely something to watch before the Sox/Hawks start. C/OF Mike Kvasnicka on the Gophers is also someone to take note of. Likely a 2nd round talent.

  20. So which one of you is heading the Sickels MOD? I assume it's someone that posts here, but under a different name.
  21. QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 19, 2010 -> 09:45 PM) Two words: talent infusion. I want Austin Wilson. I think I'd be happy with any high upside player. I'd be very enthusiastic if it was a prep player. Give me a Wilson/Castellanos/Sale/Whitson/Cole and I'll feel much better about the direction the organization is heading.
