I think I gave a few draft highlights in an earlier post. If I didn't, I'll do that in a minute.
Your Pale Hose took RHP
Johnny Marcum with the #10 pick in the first round. Marcum went 3-1, 1.27 for York (A) and, not surprisingly, was promoted to Fort Worth (AA). He went 3-4 in seven starts with the Cats, pitching to a 4.22 ERA. He doesn't have much Stuff (potential 3), so he'll have to get by with Movement (potential 17) and Control (potential 13).
Their second round pick was 2B
Burgess Whitehead. He hit .220 with Memphis (AAA) at age 21. He's a decent prospect who projects as a decent hitter and a very good fielder.
As for Arky, he's a stud. He should develop a little more power, but otherwise he's pretty much playing to his potential already. He could be a fixture in the Windy City into the 1950s.
And did you notice the Sox picked up
Chet Brewer? He could be a terrific #3 starter in 1933, behind
Ray Brown and
Eugene Wise, with the potential for an even more important role when age catches up with Wise.
