2021 MLB Draft Thread


Recommended Posts

New BA mock this morning. McGreevy goes to the Cubs one pick before this for what it's worth.

Quote

Colson Montgomery

Southridge HS, Huntingburg, Ind.SS

Notes:

Montgomery is heavily associated with the White Sox and would make sense here if he’s available. We’ve also started to hear more college arms to the White Sox lately, so perhaps they were happy with the Garrett Crochet selection a year ago. Previously we’d heard them tied to plenty of prep bats, which still should be in consideration—names like Peyton Stovall, James Wood, Wes Kath or Izaac Pacheco could still make sense for this pick or later ones.

They get there eventually.

It's really going to depend on how the board plays out.  I think there's going to be a few crazy Ivans that throws this thing completely out of whack.

That’s fair, although didn’t Detmers have significantly better results in college?  Either way, I still think a prep SS makes so much more sense given where our system is at now and how teams currently value prospects.  If the right college arm slipped I wouldn’t be against taking him at 22, but my understanding is this draft is super deep in prep SS’s and if we could somehow double-up with two of them in rounds 1 & 2 I think that’s a total coup for a system in desperate need of young up-the-middle talent.

His curve wiped out way more hitters but mcgreevys control is crazy, 1 walk per 9.

Plus 2020 with everyone was crazy

It’s this simple: the scouting department wants to go prep because they’ve done the work and know that the BPA and best strategy is a prep. It’s easy for KW/Hahn to just draft a college pitcher though instead while they’re in a winning window. The media has been talking to scouts all season, hence the reports.

Morning of Draft at fangraphs.

22. Chicago White Sox
Pick: Joe Mack, C, Williamsville East (NY)

We don’t have enough room to list the high school position players the White Sox are considering with this pick. If there is a prep bat rumored to go anywhere from 20-50 on Sunday, he’s likely somewhere in their mix. They would love for Colson Montgomery to still be on the board for them, but that seems unlikely at this point. Teams think Jay Allen will come off the board sooner than we have him mocked here and he’s a player type fit with Chicago, but we have no hard intel connecting Allen and the Sox. Scouts vary wildly in their power projection for Mack, ranging from fringy to plus, but he’s a real catcher with a plus arm, and evaluators have more of a consensus in their praise for his hit tool. Chicago’s scouting director saw Michael McGreevy’s last outing for UC Santa Barbara, so maybe he fits here, but it wasn’t a great look.

Is that Dayton guy worth paying attn to?

Rumblings of guys being connected in the 2nd Round.

We often come to learn about players attached to teams after the first round, and can also typically ballpark which teams are on which players later in the draft based on their previous draft history. We could mix this stuff in to a second round mock that would also feature a lot of total and complete guesses, so rather than do that, we’re trying what we’re calling a “Reverse Mock” where we list players and tell you what teams we have attached to them and why.

  • Denzel Clarke, OF, Cal State Northridge: 2nd round (dope)
  • Max Ferguson, 2B, Tennessee: Cleveland (team draft pattern)
  • Dominic Hamel, RHP, Dallas Baptist: Atlanta (dope)
  • Wes Kath, SS, Desert Mountain HS (AZ): Tampa Bay, Chicago White Sox, Oakland (all dope), Cleveland (pattern)

Idk who this is but WSD re-tweeted it.

I'm assuming that if this is true it's because Montgomery will be gone. 

He claimed to have some inside info before (can’t recall if it ended up being accurate) and may be involved in a group chat with some other people that have access to inside info.  Not Steve Cishek also trying to jump on this train.

Dunno if the Law mock was posted from 2 hours ago, but:

22. Chicago White Sox: Colson Montgomery, 3B, Southridge (IN) HS

All spring it’s been Colson Montgomery, Chase Petty and Pacheco for the White Sox. They might have their pick of all three.
