Chicago White Sox Grade: C
The Pick: Keenyn Walker, OF.
The Buzz: If there was a more ho-hum day for any prospect, it was Walker, who has been drafted each of the last three years now. His stock has improved each time from the mid-30s, to mid-teens, and now into the sandwich picks. The Sox like his potential to be a top of the order hitter, but he has been slow to develop his batter's eye. The ceiling is fairly low for this pick and does not excite very much.

I'm not saying Walker is a bad player.

What I'm saying is with the talent heavy draft he was not the most talented player on the board

It's all a crapshoot.

Maybe he'll be great.

I don't pretend to follow closely anything below the MLB level. Don't the Sox view the high strikeout rates of their young players as an institutional problem that should be fixed?
