Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Here's my final attempt. It's destined to be wrong with lots of info coming out today. The White Sox pick seems more realistic than ever though. https://www.futuresox.com/2020/06/09/mlb-mock-draft-3-0/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidding... also, based on your mocks, who are some of the top players left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I like Cavalli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35thstreetswarm Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 I've probably just missed it as I haven't followed that closely, but given Torkelson seems a lock to go 1/1, has there been as much agonizing this year about how short-ish RH first basemen should never be 1/1 picks? Maybe Vaughn blazed a trail by going as high as he did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 My following prediction is with no inside knowledge claimed by me just a hunch...Max Meyer falls to the White Sox...but do they pick him if that happens?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn is a better hitter; don't care what anyone says. Keith Law said Vaughn was a MUCH better hitter; I'm not sure I'll say that, but Vaughn is better.

I know - it's odd he seems so uncontroversial as 1/1. I guess the potential for outfield must be it, along with a perception that it's important to take the safety of a known quantity like Torkelson in a year with such unprecedented limitations on available player data (and maybe a weaker draft pool).

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Just now, 35thstreetswarm said: I know - it's odd he seems so uncontroversial as 1/1. I can only attribute it to a perception that it's important to take the safety of a known quantity like Torkelson in a year with such unprecedented limitations on available player data (along with what may be a weaker draft pool). It's a weird year, as you said, and there weren't a lot of reps to go off of. I'm all in for Howard but 0% chance the Sox draft him, and they'll miss out on a kid who becomes a star right under their own noses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mount Carmel has had some tremendous talent coming out the last few years with Howard and Thomas before him. That's great to see!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
