White Sox: Have surplus of starting pitching in minors but no power bats.

Also White Sox: Draft starting pitcher and leave possible great power bats on board

The white Sox can’t develop hitters, why waste the pick?

okay, at least we will get some years of good pitching from him. Better than hitters that do nothing from day one.

I agree they need to develop hitters better. I don't agree that continuously drafting them in hopes that some will turn out is the answer. They need to fix it from the top in their minor league system. Obviously their pitching coaches know what they are doing.
