OT: Other Chicago & General Sports Thread LIII: Trade Deadline

[Blackhawkswincup]

Wow ,, He has always been all over CSN Chicago and did a lot of the Bears stuff

This is surprising

 

[LDF]

How dare them! Oh and good thing the Giants and Phils won also, so they didn't lose ground there

those freaking inconsiderate cretins.

 

[MurrayBannerman]

All aboard the Michael Toglia 2019 draft train.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Okay, not going to lie, these aren't as dumb as I was expecting them to look (some teams are awful, though). Nicknames on the back are still dumb, though.

 

[Sarava]

Oh it figures, the game I have tickets to is in the weekend with the goofy uniforms

The Padres and A's are pretty cool actually.

Flashing really advanced bat tools. High power with an athletic build. If he sticks in RF and all goes well developmentally, he's a top pick candidate.

 

[LDF]

i am going to be honest here. based on today's date, 8-9-17 i am thinking that the sox will be picking #2 in the draft.

so for this discussion. i am thinking either seth beer - of and brady singer - rh-sp will be gone.... i am thinking either / or. so i am eliminating both for this discussion.

Jackson Kowar - rh-sp, fla. in the college playoff last yr, he jump the other pitchers and to start as the starting pitcher.

Luken Baker - rh-sp/1b. re to his pitching, i do not think his future is there. his fast ball is straight as a board and no movement. ref his hitting, very good power and really good avg... last yr, he broke his left forearm, but he hits right handed. maybe some one who the sox already as a 1b, can play the OF.

Konnor Pilkington - lh-sp. Miss St.. this is the pitcher / player i am keeping a close eye on next season. solid 3 pitch profile. his hit is close to his BB. but his K's is very good.

thoughts ??

any other college players to look out for.... for now ??

Toglia? He's a first round projection right now. Obviously, it's far out.

I don't think Seth Beer gets picked ahead of Luken Baker when it's all said and done.

oh yeah, i know... but for me, i love the mock draft and keeping a eye on key prospects.

 

[LDF]

I don't think Seth Beer gets picked ahead of Luken Baker when it's all said and done.

on 2 mocks and it is early they even have luken baker listed , i think. but any of the 3 that i got listed would be great in the sox selection.

as of right now, i am not really sold on singer.

Why is that?

 

[LDF]

Why is that?

i really can't put my finger on it, the things i read is not too impressive however what i read on the same page esp in the D-12 ncaa sports site, the write up on the other pitcher, Jackson Kowar came out looking better.... but this is articles i am reading. so that is the land-mine that i am stepping on. i am a paper reading opinionated fan.

 

[TLEH]

Singer is from a town about an hour from my home town. Hope he does well. He's an animal when it comes to work ethic and hating to lose, I actually expect him to do very very well. He's got that bulldog mentality.

i hope he does not get hurt.... i really hate players, esp those with a promising career, who gets hurt.

he should be in the top 5 of the draft next yr, if all things goes as planned.

 

[TLEH]

No willyyyyyy

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Welp, hope the Willg injury isn't too serious. Also would prefer not to drop 2 of 3 to the Giants.

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

St. Louis is slowly creeping back up the standings. Hope the Cubs get their **** together soon.

[MurrayBannerman]

You can only find one player you like on the Cape?

 

[LDF]

You can only find one player you like on the Cape?

yeah..... i just like to keep a mental list of players and i save the link to use as a baseline.

the cape is 4 week competition and i like to see a really good avg with good hit vs k's and i am not to concerned with hrs....

the pitchers well, i am not good enuf to grade them from the cape performance.

There are several, high round draft prospects out there right now. Griffin Conine could easily leap into a position where the Sox would have to consider him.
