Lol

That organization has become a complete dumpster fire.

This is doing it right. Takes 40 people to still suck.

I'm officially in the mode where I'm sick to my stomach hoping that a player drops. Waldrep. The value/need is too good to pass up.

BOS-CHW-SF beforehand to snipe.

I don't even care if they take Waldrep because I trust their scouting. I just hope he DROPS so that we see how the front office approaches the choice between a guy who is clearly the best pitcher left and appropriate for the slot versus their choice of several good pitching options.

Definitely feel the same way. Would love to see them take Waldrep if he drops though.

Chicago really, truly doesn't need pitching for whatever that's worth in baseball.

I don’t think teams draft for current needs.

Hate to root against a kid from UVA but whatever. I hate the Sox.

I kinda want to see them pick a high school player because that will tell me they really believe in him given that there is a lot more info available for college players. Plus they have done really well at picking HS guys in the higher rounds.

Lol, did they invite the groundskeeper?

[Alasdaire]

College hitters have been pretty well picked through. This draft has broken well for the O's if you were hoping for them to take a high-upside prep bat or, hopefully, a top-end college pitcher.

Neither do I. But Chicago taking a college pitcher would just feel weird. I don't see it.

Jacob Gonzalez. Lots of shortstops drafted. 

[86this]

White Sux select Jacob Gonzalez at 1:15.
