PolishPrince34 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) I find it hard to believe Stanek would fall to the Sox at #17. Very concerned with Austin Wilson after watching him play and move around the field-his body scares me. Not the most nimble/flexible player. Very stiff in his mechanics at the plate and field. Many people talk about his athletic ability- I don't see it as a big plus for him. Safest pick is Alex Gonzalez. Would be very happy if he falls to the Sox at #17, but a lot people reporting Arizona Diamondbacks will nab at #15. Aaron Judge is a scary thought after watching our organization handle and develop are OF's in the minors over the past couple years.

Eminor3rd Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 QUOTE (ChiSoxJon @ Jun 1, 2013 -> 01:55 PM) After hearing my second Jim Callis interview today on 670 The Score, I'm very confident Chicago will take Alex Gonzalez from Oral Roberts at 17. Seems like a bit of a reach to me. Seems like it would have been a reach a few months ago but that he has been flying up the boards lately. I actually think he'll get picked before 17.

ChiSoxJon Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Just a thought - If Chicago takes a college pitcher (Gonzalez, Stanek), they will likely place them in Great Falls for a few games and possibly move them up to Winston-Salem by skipping Kannapolis like most of their early selected college pitchers of the past (Lumsden, Broadway, McCulloch, Poreda, Sale). If they take a college outfielder (Wilson, Judge, Ervin) they will likely report straight to Kanny after they sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work, Jake. Ha -- that's right! I think we're on more or less the same page, as far as likely targets goes. I was a bit strapped for word length because of course the potential players are endless. I really think we're going with a college pitcher, but you can't be surprised if he takes a guy like Wilson from Stanford. I was fairly surprised that we took Hawkins last year, but of course it was also not surprising. I personally really liked Marcus Stroman.

Wilson from Stanford is probably the best of them, but I don't like him compared to the pitchers available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilson from Stanford is probably the best of them, but I don't like him compared to the pitchers available. The video the MLB Network showed of Wilson last night made him look awful.

Phillip Ervin is the best of the outfielders they're considering, in my opinion. I watched that and thought the same. They better not take him. Being that I don't follow amateur baseball, I can only go by what they were saying last night. A couple of the high school catchers look interesting, and you can tell John Hart is really high on Alex Gonzalez, the big RHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phillip Ervin is the best of the outfielders they're considering, in my opinion. I will third that. Him and Judge both look like they need their swings completely re-built. Also, it was clear Harold Reynolds had no idea what was going on, lol. Clearly didn't know anything about any of the players. His "comps" were hilarious.

PolishPrince34 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Editors from Baseball America just did their mock draft. Have the Sox picking HS catcher NICK CIUFFO. Definitely do not see the White Sox picking him. After what Lauman had to say about being happy with the organizational depth in the minors.

Yeah, I also think MLB Network is the only organization that thinks the catchers are strong this year. Everything I've read has been the opposite.

Both Tim Anderson and Judge are White Soxy picks. Athletic toolsy dudes that could have pretty high ceilings if those tools are turned into skills. One a premium speed guy, another that could have significant power. I'm still kind of on the college pitching train this year. There is pretty good depth there, and it's one area the White Sox actually seem to be adequate at developing. I like Alex Gonzalez and Stanek personally. Chris Anderson would be okay too.

But since Laumann said he doubts there will be a pitcher left at 17 better than Chris Beck or Erik Johnson, I wouldn't mind a gamble pick on high school catcher or pitcher. Actually, as long as it isn't the Stanford guy, I'm not going to think one way or the other about this first round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, as long as it isn't the Stanford guy, I'm not going to think one way or the other about this first round pick. I'm mostly hoping that someone just falls into the Sox lap that shouldn't be there. Similar to what happened with Sale and Hawkins. I'd really love Trey Ball to have an inexplicable fall personally. Peterson, Stanek, Smith, or Renfroe are also players I'm sure the Sox would jump all over if they fall for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
