Dunt Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Anyone seen a comprehensive review of Senzel? He is an intriguing option in that he may be a fast mover that could make the jump quick, but he seems lower floor than some of these other guys.

harfman77 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 02:15 PM) I really don't think they'll go pitching. College and HS bats are the strength of the draft. I think they will continue to get the best pitcher they can in the draft, and then trade some pitching for hitting at some point. They don't seem to have much of an appetite for HS position players and not sure their is a college position guy that has a ceiling to warrant a selection at 10.

IMO, Kyle Lewis, Buddy Reed, Corey Ray all warrant a selection at 10 if they were available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 11:46 AM) Kyle Lewis looks great coming off that Cape Cod performance. I can't be the first person to compare him to Justin Upton. Too many similarities. Those small school guys make me nervous though. I agree. I think this is a big year for Lewis coming off his great summer to maintain his current top 10-15 status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hostetler mentioned that HS and College bats are the strength. I think they'll take a pitcher with one of their 1st 3 selections but I think #10 is a position player unless a pitcher falls.

Y2Jimmy0 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (raBBit @ Feb 9, 2016 -> 12:29 PM) MLB.com's top thirteen prospects has six OFers and six pitchers. BA's top seventen prospects has 10 pitchers and 6 outfielders. Obviously were a ways a away but the guesses to me are college pitcher or outfielder. Delvin Perez is a Puerto Rican SS that I expect in top 10. I'd rather look at HS bats like: Moniak, Will Benson, or Drew Mendoza instead of taking a pitcher like Jordan Sheffield. If one of the top 4 pitchers were there, that'd be a different story. Edited February 9, 2016 by Y2JImmy0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 5, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) HS SS Nolan Jones could be an option for White Sox at #10. Multi-sport athletic type that they like. Mickey Moniak is another HS OF that could be an option around #10. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/draft...rt-nolan-jones/ http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/confi...-mickey-moniak/ I am writing a report on Nolan Jones and he reminds me very much of Michael Young. Scouts are divided on his home on the diamond, some think that he can stick at short, some see him moving to third as he physically matures and according to MLB Pipeline, some see him as a bigger second baseman. He has some solid bat speed and the the ability to hit is there. He can throw low 90s off the mound too, but his future is with the bat. Right now, I think 10 would be a bit of a reach for him and I think he gets drafted in the supplemental round, but if he has a hot spring, I could see him being drafted in middle/bottom of the first proper round, as high as 15.

bmags Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Reading about Missouri baseball preview. Sounds like I should try to watch them this year. Would be interested in Reggie McClain in later rounds, Tanner Houck, obviously, and our ole Montas de oca. Most of their intriguing talent is 2017 but sounds like there's good stuff like there used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 for me and my fantasy hopes, i see 4-5 unknown pitchers making a name for them selves in the 1st round. i see some of those college bats falling down to the comp rds or 2nd rounds. that is why i am still ranting on getting more comp picks selections and yes, trade the 2/3 tier pitchers to get them the sox have a stock systems for those kind of pitchers. oh well that is me.

Teams covet those. ok i am going to try to put this nice ... nice kind of a way. i hope it comes out that way. before the off season, some teams, ok maybe 1 or 2 traded for comp picks, look at who they traded.... the sox have that beat by a country mile. now the caveat or a another condition that changes this, the price of these picks, esp since the price of the SP's went drastically thru the roof. it may be different now. btw, a great question.

Hostetler really lit up when someone asked him about Ray at Soxfest. Obviously the connection with him playing in their ACE program, but he couldn't hide the giddiness.
