DirtySox Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 (edited) Final Fangraphs mock has the White Sox on Kendall. Notes they would prefer one of the Virginia bats, Beck or Adell though. Edited June 12, 2017 by DirtySox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Bukauskas alot more than Fulmer coming out. If we didn't have Fulmer already, I would love Bukauskas. Hell, I'd still love to get him. Big fan (not as big as Dirty and a couple others, but like him alot. Great stuff. He + Kopech.. good lord). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I really don't see the Fulmer comparisons with Bukauskas other than stature. Fulmer didn't throw strikes in college. J.B. is a 20 year old Junior that has started in the ACC for 3 solid seasons. He has great stuff. I think he's more along the lines of Lance McCullers and Marcus Stroman than Fulmer. I'd be fine with that pick if the bats they like aren't on the board. I'd be down with them taking Evan White for a slight discount though and I'd definitely take Evan White over Pavin Smith.

DirtySox Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Could help the Sox for the position player hunt. Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 · 20s #Angels looking like a potential landing spot for JB Bukauskas. He's sliding a bit but they've been on him and are a solid fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Bit of a shocker with Callis moving to Evan White. One of the red flags seems to be his low walk rate. Evan White has similar upside to Pavin Smith from Virginia, although with a smaller floor. White’s bat will determine if he can stick at 1B and there are certainly questions if there is enough power and bat for him to stick there. He projects more as a top of the order hitter due to his batted ball skills and speed. I have concerns about his ability to draw walks, which could limit his ability to get on base when he’s not hitting, but he doesn’t have a big strikeout problem. I’d like to see more power and walks when he hits the pros. http://www.azsnakepit.com/2017/6/10/157508...ity-of-kentucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
