2nd_city_saint787 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Wouldn't hate it, but I've been coming around on Turner. I'd really love the dynamic of Turner and Micah Johnson reeking havoc at the top of the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I find myself flip flopping back and forth between Hoffman and Kolek at this time. I lean towards Kolek but he is committed so I would hate to waste a #3 pick on a kid that goes to college. Spring will bring another season of college and HS baseball so who knows how the draft pick status will change. Some likely rise and some likely fall.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I think if Hoffman ends up being there they have to take him. I would be fine with Trea Turner. Alex Jackson would make me the most excited I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the #3 draft slot money I would think it would highly highly unlikely a HS kid would turn that down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Soxfan Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 QUOTE (scs787 @ Dec 5, 2013 -> 11:33 AM) Wouldn't hate it, but I've been coming around on Turner. I'd really love the dynamic of Turner and Micah Johnson reeking havoc at the top of the lineup. I really feel the same way. Nervous about taking a high school pitcher, barring some injury this spring, I'm for Turner as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I think Chris Sale would be ahead of Price at this point, albiet it would be close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I still think Turner's tools would be too enticing for the sox brass to pass up. Hahn and KW love him already. Hoffman, Kolek etc. could make them think though. (not to mention sox farm is much better at developing pitchers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShandyMan Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I would pass on Kolek. If hoffman is there, take him, if not its Turner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunt Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 So now that we've seen some teams forfeit their first round picks and resign with their original teams, what has our second round pick moved up to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't move any spots, should it? Because any pick exchanges take place before the 2nd RD, so any team that loses a pick, another team gains in front of the 2nd RD anyway, right?

At the very least, when someone resigns with a team they already played for they lose the compensation pick right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true. There won't be a comp pick for Napoli for example. Same with Kuroda. Don't the Yanks actually get a pretty good deal overall? The Yanks lose their 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rd picks because of signing Beltran, McCann, and Ellsbury. They receive 2 comp round picks for Granderson and Cano though, correct? So they will still have 2 top 50 selections and the 3 big name free agents? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 With the recent additions of Eaton and Davidson, does the change our outlook on the draft? Go after best pitcher available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go after best pitcher available? If there's an obvious guy to take at 3, they should take that player no matter what position. Quite frankly, I trust the White Sox when it comes to pitching. So I hope it ends up being an #1 starter talent that will be behind Sale in 2016. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I want Trea Turner, by far my favorite guy in the 2-10 range of draft prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Dec 16, 2013 -> 04:18 PM) With the recent additions of Eaton and Davidson, does the change our outlook on the draft? Go after best pitcher available? The answer should have been best player available regardless. In MLB draft you may target things your system needs in the middle rounds, but the top of the draft usually is highest-ceiling guys who are still 2-3 years away from the bigs even if they're in college. By the time anyone you draft is pushing the big leagues, your roster is likely to look very different. The Sox could use the middle rounds to focus on adding a couple extra catchers if they think there's a need there because they only have really 1 obvious long-term candidate at lower levels (Ayala), but then many of their positions look pretty weak right now so you don't want to overdraft too much.

harfman77 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I would rate them: 1. Rodon 2. Hoffman 3. Jackson 4. Gatewood 5. Turner Any of them are good/great. I think Jackson and Gatewood jump over Turner because of the possibility of being elite bats, but Turner has a higher floor. I think the Sox end up with Hoffman or Jackson unless Rodon can't pitch this spring. In the second round I like Jeren Kendall and Ti'Quan Forbes.
