"I am glad to be a part of the White Sox family," said Poreda, who was teammates at San Francisco with Stefan Gartrell, Chicago's 31st-round selection in 2006. "I am grateful for the opportunity and can't wait to get my professional career started."

Thank you, FutureSox. :lol:

I wrote the Poreda summary and Heads is forced to actually do stuff now. We'll have more info later, don't you worry. I think our draft coverage is our best feature, maybe that's just me.

It may just be me, but BasseballChannels host sounds like Zach Braff.

Casey Stern? He was on Dream Job. I think his voice is higher pitched than Braff.

 

Also, I just realized a bit ago that Arrieta out of TCU, that a lot of pubs had in the first round.

 

Josh- MacFarland is a Mizzou signee, that's higher than he was supposed to go. Hopefully he stays, man this is probably the best recruiting class in school history.

Round 3, Pick 119 RHP John Ely, Miami (OH)

 

Ely, the third straight pitcher picked by the Sox, is more like former Sox first rounders Lance Broadway and Kyle McCulloch. Known as a "solid pitcher" who is a fierce competitor, Ely throws a fastball around 92 mph, as well as a changeup and a curve. The fastball and the changeup are his best pitches, while his curve is still developing. Ely also owns a somewhat violent throwing motion that makes him harder to hit.

 

The phrase "violent throwing motion" is somewhat concerning. I know virtually nothing about this guy, but poor mechanics (which I assume is implied by the throwing motion comment) tends to preclude injuries/arm troubles.

go to mlb.com s thang and click the video link. you can watch his motion and then end of his delivery is bizarre. you get a good idea from the profile view of it

Oh, I wasn't taking a shot. It was funny to me because I read Heads' post immediately after I read the FutureSox scouting report. :lol:

He's always has had that motion. He's had no arm problems that I've known about.
