Palehosefan Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Interesting. Maybe Cleveland will have a brain fart and pass up Alex White. Maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Thank you. White probably goes here, but the Tribe likes Brothers a lot. White is great value though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 It is looking more and more likely that one of Arnett/Brothers/Gibson is there and Scheppers will probably be there unless someone surprises us. Cards are about the only team I can think of with the pockets that might do that, but they love prep players in general. Dbacks of two years ago would have gobbled up Scheppers but not anymore.

Palehosefan Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) I'm not crazy about Arnett, I hope we stay away there. Well crap, White is going to be a good one. Edited June 9, 2009 by Palehosefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I'm beginning to think Sox should take a pitcher with first pick and then an outfielder with 2nd pick. Seems like someone like Williams or Fuentes could drop to the 38th pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Arnett probably falls. Fathom, Sox have a preference of Arnett/Brothers over the outfielders. So if those guys are on the board, they take em. Not sure about scheppers but again, it wouldn't at all be the Sox MO. I also can't comment on Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 An outfielder and a pitcher will go off the board in the next two picks to the DBacks, but they also like Borchering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel those guys are of greater value than some of the outfielders we've been mentioned with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 The thing is, most every way I saw the draft shaking out I saw Brothers/Arnett off the board, which than put the Sox at taking the prep outfielder and than the guy from OU or someone similar.

Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I think Gibson might go here, its about the only place he'd go, otherwise I see him falling outside of the top 25, maybe even the 1st round, although the Cubs might go the value route on him. Pollack is a definate possibility as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoedairy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 to the people who know these things better than me, is there a chance the sox take a high upside high school pitcher and will there even be some1 like that available. I think we have an opportunity to take some1 who might take a while to develop but could be potentially great thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Ya, I don't think Gibson is a tough sign, so he might still be a possibility, otherwise I'm thinking Pollack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
