fathom Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 24, 2017 -> 12:58 AM) NO MORE PITCHERS, PLEASE...pick up some more those of those guys (secondary pieces) in the June/July/August trade market. The pitching equivalents of Nicky Delmonico. You pick players that can become starters. If you trade Q, the depth at starting pitcher gets very suspect with Rodon being a question mark.

Haha there's usually one guy that many have a consenus on every year as a top 10 pick who happens to fall. I'm gonna say he's the guy. Hopefully it's not because of an injury *knock on wood*.

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah, Chris Beck would be another one, from where he started on draft lists. Let's say (for the moment) we're being pessimistic and Giolito/Fulmer end up in the pen...and Q is traded (assume at least one of those guys coming back is probably another pitcher). That leaves Rodon (iffy until proven otherwise), Shields (until traded), Reynaldo Lopez, Kopech and ??? as the 2018 rotation. Dunning and Hansen are at least another year away. God knows what happens with Covey. Or Adams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Adell is scary...just because of Courtney Hawkins. Otoh, it's not like Tim Anderson faced the best of the SEC/ACC in junior college ball playing in rural Mississippi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you trade Q, the depth at starting pitcher gets very suspect with Rodon being a question mark. Teams ALWAYS need more pitching. I know our system needs position players, but you truly can never have too much pitching depth. Injuries occur so frequently that having a deep system can allow you to be competitive for the long haul. We should be looking to acquire the best prospects possible, regardless of position.

No basis on it, just a gut feeling. Pretty much a lock Gore goes in the top 8 at this point I would say I'd be pretty surprised if he was on the board at #11, and I'd think the White Sox would select him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A scout said best pitcher he faced in hs this year might have been able to pitch at the Juco level I truly hate myself for saying this but how good do you think the pitchers Trout faced were in smalltown Jersey? He's been in multiple showcases that were the reason for his helium initially. I think that stuff is overthought. I know C Hawkins and all but this draft seems kinda meh, and we don't have a surplus of power after AAA in our system. I'd be happy with Addell but I don't think we draft him.

ptatc Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2017 -> 07:53 PM) Lots of concern over his mechanics and injuries he's already had Those guys were pretty good. I agree with their statement s about his lower body. He creates a great deal of passive valgus at his right knee. He has far too much trunk flexion early on. The Sox would take of that with their "standing tall" philosophy. I disagree a little with the elbow position concern. i wouldn't be too worried about this guy. It's all very correctable especially with a professional strengthening program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dam8610 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Any chance of the White Sox drafting Keston Hiura? Seems to be a polished hitter who should find a home in the OF. What are the knocks on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be a polished hitter who should find a home in the OF. What are the knocks on him? I cant say I'm an expert or anything, but it sounds like we can get a much better player at 11. Whether its a pitcher or college hitter, there will be something better than him available for us. He would be quite a reach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't played the field this year due to an arm issue that may or may not prevent him from ever playing the field. That's the main issue plus the lack of a clear position even if he can play somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take an Edgar Martinez type player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come to think of it, BK has never done that much sports advertising, maybe the championships, Super Bowl, etc., but not in stadium advertising typically.
