bmags Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 12:42 PM) Danny Mendick; brain fart I was just looking at that draft. Sox got pretty surprising production in rounds 20 and 21 with Mendick and Landon lassiter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Tilson redux with this pick? Also just to clear up any confusion, I am DickMan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Who is Tilson? Sounds like a mythical character, certainly couldn't be a white sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It feels like this draft is less about hitting big time potential and more just strengthening the backbone of the system. I'm ok with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with that Based on what has been said about this draft (lack of star talent, decent depth) its not a bad strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. And then hope for a team to ignore Q's first few month and give us a significant piece for 2 back in a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Between Collins, Call, Fisher, Burger, Sheet and now Gonzalez, we have now taken a bunch of polished college bats with good plate discipline.

Don't think he's got much power in that bat though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
