  • [Intro] Jim Callis of MLB.com joins the show and we first discuss the Chicago White Sox promoting Colson Montgomery to the majors.
  • [9:05] The 2025 MLB Draft will begin on Sunday, July 13 and the preview begins with who is the number one overall prospect? For MLB.com, it's Ethan Holliday, but that doesn't mean he will be taken first overall by Washington. 
  • [16:52] Who is the hardest team to mock? 
  • [27:28] Building a new White Sox Watch Board of prospects who could be available at pick 10
  • [43:41] Fan Question: Even if a top pitcher like Seth Hernandez or Jamie Arnold are available, should the White Sox automatically take the best shortstop or outfielder?
  • [45:39] Could we see the White Sox take prep players in the first three rounds?
  • [49:39] Fan Question: With the White Sox struggles in developing and keeping first round picks, how can they avoid the past pitfalls in this rebuild?
