Summary
The White Sox pulled off a draft steal with 12th-round pick Braden Holcomb, a Vanderbilt junior who could’ve gone much earlier—now they’ve got him at pick 345. A former football player with elite speed and multi-position versatility, Holcomb’s upside is huge despite his contact issues and strikeout-heavy college stats. They’re also locking in Kyle Casteel with a bonus deal, showing they’re aggressively building their farm system by poaching college talent. If Holcomb’s swing improves, he could become a 30-homer threat—and might start in Kannapolis soon. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
