I have my doubts When is the last time the White Sox took a high school position player and successfully got him to the major leagues? Yes, it's almost an entirely different development staff and scouting department since then. Can't doubt fact.

How about Ryan Sweeney would he count? http://www.scout.com/mlb/scouting/story/17...-mock-draft-1-0 New 1st round mock draft from SCout.com "11. Chicago White Sox - Kyle Wright, RHP, Vanderbilt Wright has had a rough year for Vanderbilt. He started the year in the running for the top pick and was the number one pitcher on some boards. Here it is just a matter of him being too good of a value to pass up, along with an organization that is one of the best at developing pitchers. They could view this as getting a top five talent at 11. If they can help fix Hansen, then Wright would be easy. The White Sox have so many high ceiling arms, but you can never have enough of them. If you do end up being the rare team with too much starting pitching, then you have the most valuable trade asset in the game. " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wright is still around it will be because of his high ERA, WHIP and diminished K rate. Guys that fall, fall for a reason. It would be hard to argue with any number of guys that are available at 11. Whether it is someone like Kendall, Adell or Wright falling or someone like Haseley or Smith rising up.

turnin' two Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Anyone here have any insight into Brent Rooker? Mississippi State OF, drafted last year as a red-shirt sophmore, a little old for a college player maybe (22), but his numbers are quite eye catching. He is being projected in drafts now, but not necessarily early. Any insight would be appreciated. .400/.505./.877 16 HR, 16 SB, 20 2B 28/33 BB/K http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...?P=brent-rooker Thanks in advance!

beautox Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 I would love for Haseley or Kendall to be there at #11 and the Seth Romero to fall to #49 because of make up issues but I doubt that happens.

PolishPrince34 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Keith Law's TOP 50 list out todayl Most glaring player I noticed was the absence of Jordon Adell from his Top 50. According to scouts Law has talked to major hit questions and throwing very poorly right now. Is moving dramatically down everyone's list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
