DirtySox Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 4, 2012 -> 07:23 PM) Wouldn't be upset by the pick. Great upside. I wouldn't be upset either. Some will be though. He's pretty raw. Swing and miss to his game, not the best approach. But man, if he puts it together... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales If Mets select Cecchini, White Sox have choice of college pitchers Wacha or Stroman or prep OF Hawkins. They have plenty of info on Smoral Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Only thing I don't like is the Sox historical inability to get these guys to develop. Maybe that is changing though with Mitchell starting to come around and I guess we still have more to see in what happens with Walker and Thompson. Would be unfair to write them off (or the organization) at this point based upon this and really these are the 3 guys most of us think about when it comes to raw upside guys the Sox picked (albeit only one was a high schooler).

Thought they would go back to pitching in the early rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Jim Callis @jimcallisBA #WhiteSox will get some value hear. I think it's Hawkins, Stroman or Wacha. Mock guessed Wacha, I'll guess Hawkins. #mlbdraft Expand Reply Retweet Favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Cecchini is about as soft-spoken as it gets. Sounds like we take Hawkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 (edited) First prep 1st rounder since Honel was taken in 2001. Hell has frozen over. Kudos to the White Sox for taking who they think is the BPA, no matter the level. Edited June 5, 2012 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales If it's Hawkins, solid pick. Sox stressed upside, and Laumann said three weeks ago this was as good of a year to take a prep player at 13.
