9 (291): Matthew Lane, LHP, 6-5, 195, NW Florida State Coll.
8-5, 2.17 ERA, 92 K, 34 BB, 79 H in 99.1 IP this
spring. 6-5, 195. Outside BA's top 100 Florida prospects.
Pitched for Mississippi State as a freshman in 2010: 12 IP, 5.25
ERA, 9 K, 12 BB, 13 H.
10 (321): Benjamin O'Shea, LHP, 6-5, 255, Santa Fe CC (FL)
3.03 ERA with 98 K, 15 BB and 57 H in 65.1 IP this
spring. BA ranks him the No. 49 prospect in Florida. Typically
sat in the upper 80s, but his frame obviously gives hope for a
velocity bump. Good change, mediocre curve. Maryland commit.
11 (351): Blair Walters, LHP, 6-0, 200, Hawaii
The college senior makes it three LHP in a row.
Reliever. 4.14 ERA, 34 K, 17 BB, 42 H in 41.1 IP. As a junior:
35.2 IP, 7.07 ERA, 35 K, 12 H, 47 H. Transferred to Hawaii after
two years of JuCo ball. Throws a hard sinker in low 90s, needs
to develop secondary pitches.
12 (381): Andrew Virgili, RHP, 6-2, 205, Lynn U.

The guy we picked in the second round scouting says his fastball
is mid 90's... Watch him be at 88 when n he gets to rookie
league

12 (381): Andrew Virgili, RHP, 6-2, 205, Lynn U. (DII)
2.35 ERA, 94 K, 25 BB, 86 H in 95.2 IP (14 starts)
as a junior this spring. Struggled in two years of JuCo ball
before transferring to Lynn. Lynn player bio
13 (411): Chadd Krist, C, R/R, 5-11, 199, Cal
That makes three Cal Bears drafted by the Sox
today. Hit .306/.386/.444 with 27 BB and 32 K in 216 as a junior
this spring. Struggled as a freshman but hit .344/.422/.609 as a
sophomore. BA says strong arm with good agility behind the plate
and is a hard worker. Defense sounds solid, but the bat is the
question mark. Cal player bio
14 (441): Mark Ginther, 3B, R/R, 6-3, 200, Oklahoma St.
Hit .292/.337/.517 with 16 BB and 34 K in 236 AB as
a junior this spring. .320/.369/.569 as a sophomore (notice the
trend yet? bat changes killed offensive numbers this year). Big
power bat with good athleticism and arm strength. Also pitched
and played football in high school. BA says could have been
taken in top three rounds out of high school, but needs to
improve his approach at the plate. Too aggressive. Ok State
player bio (says he's a Cubs fan). MLB.com's scouting video
15 (471): David Herbek, SS, R/R, 6-1, 180, James Madison
Hit .362/.443/.672 with 15 HR, 24 BB and 30 K in
229 AB this spring as a senior. 13/17 in stolen bases. BA says
he has a chance to stick at SS. Big pop from SS. JMU player bio
16 (501): Chris Bassitt, RHP, 6-5, 205, Akron
The fourth-year junior made 28 relief appearances
for the Zips this year. 1.42 ERA, 48 K, 15 BB, 24 H in 38 IP
with 7 saves. Throws a low 90s sinker and a slider from a 3/4
arm angle.
17 (531): Collin Kuhn, OF, R/R, 6-0, 195, Arkansas
Another fourth-year junior and another four-year
college player. Hit .282/.370/.466 with 22 steals in 24
attempts. Hit .336 with 15 HR as a sophomore. Good speed, but
weak arm.

18 (561): Bryan Blough, RHP, 6-1, 190, Kennesaw State
BA says fastball 88-92 with a decent slider. 3.61
ERA, 84 K, 20 BB, 94 hits in 84.2 IP this year as a senior.
10.29 ERA in 28 innings as a junior after two years at JuCo.
Kennesaw player bio
19 (591): Kevin Vance, RHP, 6-0, 205, Connecticut
Vance is another reliever in the White Sox draft
class. 1.57 ERA, 31 K, 6 BB, 13 H in 28.2 IP. The junior is the
closer on the UConn team that won the Clemson Regional last
weekend. Low 90s fastball, but inconsistent velocity. BA says
good curve and decent change. 19:5 K:BB in 18 IP with a 0.50 ERA
in the Cape Cod League last summer. UConn player bio
20 (621): Martin Medina, C/1B, R/R, 6-0, 195, Cal State
Bakersfield
Hit .287/.362/.478 with 26 BB, 37 K and 9 HR in 209
AB. The junior also pitched and struck out 45 in 33.2 IP this
year out of the bullpen. Bakersfield player bio
21 (651): Joe De Pinto, 2B, R/R, 6-1, 190, USC
The senior hit .300/.409/.379 with 9 steals this
spring. Similar numbers throughout his career. USC player bio
22 (681): Blake Drake, RHP, 6-7, 195, Indiana St.
The Sox probably got some looks at Drake when
scouting Jacob Petricka last year. The senior made four starts
and 22 relief appearances as a senior. He struck out 37, walked
21 and allowed 50 hits in 49 innings for a 4.78 ERA. BA ranks
him the No. 15 draft eligible prospect in the state of Indiana.
Indiana State player bio
23 (711): Mike Marjama, C, R/R, 6-2, 205, Long Beach St.
This is the fourth catcher the Sox have drafted.
Hit .290/.329/.378 as a junior after two years at JuCo. BA rates
him as the No. 99 prospect in Southern California. LBSU player
bio

Evil minds think differently. I am talking about baseball
players who bat from both sides of the plate.
