Lip Man 1 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Over at MLB.com they have their early projections for the June draft. Here is what they say for the White Sox: "5. White Sox: Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest (No. 4) Kurtz has shaken off a slow start to the 2024 season and seems to homer in just about every game. He’s now up 18 long balls to go along with a .305/.524/.805 line. He has a 1.409 OPS in ACC play." Just my guess but if they do draft another first baseman that seems to say a few things about Vaughn doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 another college 1B, what could go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 They aren't going after Kurtz. Go read the draft thread in FutureSox for informative discourse. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Way too risky to use a Top 5 pick on a 1B. If the bat turns out to be anything less than completely savage, there's no value there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 No more 1B in the top ten of the draft please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Way too early. 2 months to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I’d be absolutely shocked if they took Kurtz at number 5, I’d rather take the second baseman from West Virginia or the high school kid, Griffen. West Virginia kid, has crazy bat speed. Was a top pick option before injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
