Nah, people were appalled by the Rick Hahn drafts. It was a non-stop bone of contention for years, reaching its nadir after the Jake Burger achilles injury. As if the White Sox could've possibly known Jake Burger would miss three seasons to freak injuries. Even then, it was only a few months ago you could find MANY who would say the Sox draft history was a "fireable offense".

But now its all hunky dory because Carlos Rodon is light-favorite for the AL Cy Young and here's Jake Burger, Gavin Sheets and Zack Collins contributing to a first place team. It has gone from abysmal to outstanding in less than two-hundred days.

To be fair, he was drafting a lot higher because they were so shitty.

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

It was an awful draft record for over a decade. Hahn changed the approach and drafted for skills after years of Kenny Williams drafting the best athlete he could find with little regard to the fact that baseball is more of a skill game than an athletic one.

This pick seems like more of a tools pick than a skills pick. We'll see how it plays out.

It does. Couple more inches on him, he'd be playing basketball.

Worked spectacularly with Tim Anderson, but I'm a little wary of lightning striking twice.

I agree with Ogie's major premise that baseball is more of a "skills" game than an "athletic" game, but you can draft either type of guy and have it work. I think it would be a mistake to lock yourself into one type of player. I know it's trite, but you just need to find guys that can play.

It's an educated gamble. Zo Cain and Timmay are good examples. But neither got good until age 26.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.
