bighurt4life Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:26 PM) I laugh at some of the people in this thread pretending to be experts and saying it's inexcuseable to pass on a certain guy. It's the freaking MLB draft and we had the 23rd pick in the first round! None of you have any f***ing idea who is going to be good and who isn't in this draft, even the scouts who have seen these guys hundreds of times aren't entirely sure. We took a guy who is by all accouts a superb athlete with great talent who could turn out to be a star once he focuses on baseball entirely. Give me a break with the ripping of the pick when you have no idea yourself how it will turn out. It's not like we took some guy projected to go in the 30th round. +1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 05:34 PM) Because they aren't as good as the people masquarading as experts around here think they are? Either that or signability I'd assume. Might be signability on Brothers, in Scheppers case he had a serious injury and signing issues. No one in there right minds would tell you that a healthy Scheppers isn't one of the 3 or 4 best arms in the entire draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I'll always favor pitching over anything. But if we weren't going to draft pitching, I'm real glad to take a guy like Mitchell who has a ton of upside and has real good tools including excellent speed. Like the pick right now, will love it if we some how can scoop up Scheppers or Brothers here with 38. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OilCan Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 OILCAN IS DRAFT!!! No seriously. Good pick by the Pale Hose. I remember two years ago when they selected Aaron Poreda, that a lot of people were bashing the pick. Hmmmmm.....someone pull the tape!

Chisoxfn Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Since I don't have a draft tracker, whose on the clock now? And is there going to be a break at all? I want to know if I have time to drive home or if I should stay a little late to catch the Sox pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 i admittedly know jack s*** about these guys, but what i do know is that mitchell was ranked by many experts to be ranked behind several guys that were available....i also am always concerned when the best tool a guy has is his speed...though i will admit i love the fact that he drew 52 BBs this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of the 1st rd, there will be a 15 minute break before the compensation rd begins. Order in the compensation rd is as follows: 33. Seattle Mariners (Raul Ibanez) 34. Colorado Rockies (Brian Fuentes) 35. Arizona Diamondbacks (Orlando Hudson) 36. Los Angeles Dodgers (Derek Lowe) 37. Toronto Blue Jays (A.J Burnett) 38.

southsideirish71 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I actually like the pick. Its really up to Buddy Bell to clean up his swing a bit, and to move him into CF. In the late first round, I would rather get a guy who can project than a safe pick. Good job. Now lets keep loading up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
