Hearing more Aaron Nola than Tyler Kolek at 3 to CWS at this time, change from previous mocks #mlbdraft

from Secaucus, NJ

Hope that is wrong.

He's a giant. And he's all loaded up with awesome.

 

IF he develops, a Sale-Kolek-Quintana top 3 is mighty fierce.

 

Kolek won't be ready for 3-4 years. We have no idea what our rotation looks like then.

Kolek will take only as long as is necessary to develop the breaking ball and change. How long will that be, no one knows, something posted earlier about seemingly having little to no coaching - well, give him the coaching and see what happens.

I just saw the MLB report on Kolek. He is a work out machine, great family, work ethic, etc. I hope we get him.

I don't totally understand this Competitive Balance section of the draft. If the White Sox flounder this year, what are the chances of getting this pick next year?

Isn't that only for small market teams? Not based on team performance?

I think our chances are pretty much limited to whether or not we trade for someone else's pick. I think market size and stuff are the main factors, and Detroit got one because of that. Then there's a draft of the cry poor teams where a certain number of them within the pool get picks.

Everytime I hear someone say Nola In my head all I hear is the Kinks song Lola.

 

Taking him at 3 is not going to make me happy. I get the reasoning but I dont think his potential is as great as the big 3.

He is a reach at 3 to me. I do not want him at 3.

I'll throw out my full opinion on him now. I dont think he is going to be an effective starter. I believe he'll end up in the pen when its all said and done. I dont think his secondary pitches will ever get to the point where he can consistently get batters out.
