Eminor3rd Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Callis' final mock has the Sox at Alex Gonzalez. I think that if he's available, he'll absolutely be the Sox pick. Personally, I'd like Renfore, Stanek, or Smith if any of those three drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Manaea has a torn labrum in his hip, announced today. So yeah, he's not getting drafted up high, if at all. Someone may take a later round flyer on him. I assume he'll head back to school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 09:59 AM) Callis' final mock has the Sox at Alex Gonzalez. I think that if he's available, he'll absolutely be the Sox pick. Personally, I'd like Renfore, Stanek, or Smith if any of those three drop. The preview says Gonzalez's stock is rising because of the development of his slider. They use different balls in college. Thicker and higher seams. Sliders tend to flatten out a little bit when college pitchers turn pro. If his fastball has a lot of movement, that's a good thing, and there is always the possiblity his slider will still be effective with the different ball, but it is worth noting college baseballs and sliders is kind of like projecting hitters with aluminum bats.
