Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 3 hours ago, caulfield12 said: MLB Pipeline 2024 mock draft July 4 Wetherholt the new pick, with Kurtz (yikes!), Smith, Burns, Griffin, Rainer all under consideration. Seems there's going to be a huge injection in AL CENTRAL 2B talent, with Bazzana to CLE the pick for now. I don’t believe that Kurtz or either pitcher is being considered.

peanut33tillman Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 This time next week we’ll have a new Sox at pick 5. A week out who does everyone think the Sox will take? NOT who you want them to take. I think it’ll be Konnor Griffin and this would also excite me. 5 tool potential with the kid if he hits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case would guess top 5 goes something like 1 Cle- Bazzana 2 Cin- Condon 3 Col- Burns 4 Oak- Montgomery/Wetherholt 5 CWS- Caglianone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tampa Plant High product has evolved into a college baseball rock star, getting flooded with autograph requests on the road during postgame walks to the team bus. It happened again during UF’s last regular-season series at Georgia, and Jac's level of popularity rather amuses Gators coach Kevin O’Sullivan. “All the wives and mothers [in the UF program] call him Gaston from Beauty and the Beast,” said O’Sullivan. “Look, everybody respects the limelight he’s under. I have no idea the amount of pressure he’s under day in and day out. “There were Georgia fans in droves outside of our bus wanting his autograph. I’m not saying it’s [Tim] Tebow-like, but it’s a different thing what he goes through every day.” Florida's Jac Caglianone is closest thing college baseball has to Shohei Ohtani (jacksonville.com) Seems a bit like a Bryce Harper type with lots of steak and "sizzle" in one package...the type of guy who rubs a lot the wrong way, just like Gaston if you know your Beauty and the Beast, lol. Actually think the White Sox need some more guys like that with unshakeable confidence in themselves...and anti-Vaughn, so to speak. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wetherholt is off the board and I think he will be, I think the Sox are going to take Konnor Griffin. Which would be a great pick as it will save the Sox some serious cash, allowing them to go overslot in the later rounds but it’ll fill some needs too. The Sox haven’t invested a first round pick on an outfielder since Courtney Hawkins, which is why the OF has always been a problem, they haven’t invested many high picks in it. And Griffin is a five tool player and a serious athlete with a chance to stay in CF or even play SS. It’s the right move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 9 minutes ago, Harold's Leg Lift said: If they draft Cags I think they're drafting an OF and I think they think that too. So they are drafting a 1B in the top 5 they are going to stick into the OF at full slot value. Did we actually fire the previous administration? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Nobody I've talked to thinks that Caglianone can actually play the outfield. I was told that Chris Getz valued defense. Also, if you're drafting Cags, you're drafting the bat. Just put him at 1B and hope he mashes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF the rockies stay with a pitcher, Which of Condon/Bazzana do you think the A's take, and would we take the other at 5 if they fell there?

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I have no idea. I've only really heard Sox connected to Griffin, Cags and Wetherholt. I don't know what they'd do with one of those others on the board. 7 minutes ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: Interesting you now think they take Jac if he is there at 5..

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I think the Sox will get Wetherholt. Personally I would love for it to be Cags, but I honestly think I would be happy with anyone at #5 that we've heard, outside of Kurtz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
