Timmy U Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Callis has a new mock up. He admits that buzz is Sox are looking at high school hitters but gives Sox my least favorite profile in the draft, Jacob Wilson. https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-mlb-mock-draft-first-round-june-1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I would put Wilson in the highly unlikely to get to them bucket but if he were to be there at 1-15 it would be an outstanding outcome for the Sox. He's going to be a very good player for a long long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Brayden Taylor is still hotter than a rolling ball of butcher knives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 I think I prefer Taylor to Morales for the lefty bat, but I'd prefer an up-the-middle player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Rhett Lowder is pitching out of his mind right now for Wake Forest. 5 K’s through 3 IP so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for a prep that might stay up the middle though. I’m done with corners who don’t control the strike zone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 I thnk one (or more) of the college arms are going be there at 1-15 and I hope they don't take Waldrep. I don't like amateurs who throw a split. You can multiply the injury factor by 10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) BA Mock 3.0. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2023-mlb-mock-draft-version-30/ Quote 15. White Sox — Yohandy Morales, 3B, Miami This was the pick in the last mock for the White Sox and I am sticking with it again considering how well he played down the stretch, highlighted by a 4-for-5 game with two home runs against Louisiana-Lafayette in the Coral Gables Regional. He finished the year with a .408/.475/.713 slash line with 20 home runs and 13 doubles. Morales has some swing-and-miss questions, but with huge power, and his overall production with Miami in three years is impressive. Quote 1. Pirates - Dylan Crews 2. Nationals - Paul Skenes 3. Tigers - Wyatt Langford 4. Rangers - Walker Jenkins 5. Twins - Max Clark 6. A's - Rhett Lowder 7. Reds - Kyle Teel 8. Royals - Noble Meyer 9. Rockies - Jacob Wilson 10. Marlins - Jacob Gonzalez 11. Angels - Chase Dollander 12. D-Backs - Colin Houck 13. Cubs - Thomas White 14. Red Sox - Matt Shaw Edited June 8, 2023 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) Morales doesn't excite me. Curious on the consensus of him sticking at 3B as well. More into some of the prep bat alternatives with the first pick. Houck/Miller/Emerson intrigue me the most.

Boopa1219 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 There’s so much smoke about the Sox and prep players. I would be shocked if they take Morales, I don’t see it happening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 I think they're gonna take a college bat which is fine as long as they get him at a sizable underslot deal and it's not Shaw or Troy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Here's Bowden on Morales, who he ranks as the 17th best prospect in the draft, keep in mind the Sox have shown 0 ability to improve hitters' chase rates: However, he does have swing-and-miss in his game, including chasing out of the strike zone, which should improve in professional ball. I’ve seen him struggle against breaking balls enough that I’d want him to take a depth perception test before selecting him this high in the draft.

I’d much prefer Shaw or Troy to a definite corner type. I really hope they take a prep bat. I’d rather take Head way underslot than many of the college options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
