Yes, very much so. Just started listing prospects with arm troubles/surgeries.

15 mins. should start any minute.

I'll be able to keep up through the supplemental round, but if someone wants to take over for a while, have at it.

can anyone tell me how boras clients are doing?

would love it if the whole league was ignoring his guys.

You could make a list longer than the Magna Carta if you want to look at every organization...

Half of it would be the White Sox 2001 staff and minor league system....

A couple of guys have been selected so far, but Luke Hochevar probably is kicking himself, although he'll probably get picked in the supplemental round.

Several have slid, a few have been taken.

Pelfrey taken by Mets, Volstad taken by Mrlins, Pawalek taken by the Cubs.

Hochevar, McCormick, others have not been taken.

True dat. I just want Broadway to stay healthy...that's it, and then let all the other chips fall where they may in his career. I'd just hate to see another Stumm situation where the guy just falls off the map because he blows out his arm. Maybe the lower velocity and such will help reduce those chances.

15th pick in the first round. His bio is here: http://gofrogs.collegesports.com/spo...y_lance00.html

[ChiWhiteSox1337]

He's actually a RHP...

He has pretty good mechanics, better mechanics and build than Carillo. You never can tell. Rauch had great mechanics and look what happenned. It's a roll of the dice no matter what.

Sox next pick is at number 95.

[Fungo]

Look for the Twins to select Jordan Schafer, LHP Winter Haven HS, FL with one of their extra picks. His family lives down the block from a twins scout.

[HawkISox]

Good stats....I wonder how ready he is. What type of pitcher is he?
