I gave some draft highlights, but I forgot to mention who the White Sox drafted.
They had to wait until the 22nd pick--third from last--this time around. The White Sox might have taken a hitter like
Zeke Bonura or
Moose Solters, but they were gone by the time the Sox drafted. Bonura went to the Dodgers at #18, and Solters to the Pirates at #20.
The Sox decided to take LHP
Al Smith, who might be the eventual replacement for
Eugene Wise in their rotation. The other Sox starters--
Ray Brown, Gordon Rhodes, Chet Brewer, and
Gabriel de Klerk--are all either 25 or 26 years old.
