White Sox Close To Inking First-Rounder

I think you mean Jiovanni Mier. The Miller name belongs to Shelby and Aaron.

let's just hope he's not a bust.

jerry owens anyone?

Funny, but Owens was never close to as good a prospect as Mitchell.

Maybe at one time most of those guys were faster than Mitchell, but at this point, I half of them are.

"As soon as he signs, he is is the top 3 for fastest players in the league."

Umm, homer.

Crawford, Mccutchen, Ichiro, Bourn, Ellsbury, Taveras, and maybe BOTH Upton's ...just to name a few -

umm why don't you watch the kid before you throw name out there.

Mitchell walks more and probably strikes out more than Crawford, while probably having more power and a stronger arm with a little less speed. He's also probably less likely to keep his speed long term, because he's heftier.

Agree -

ChiSoxKilla23,

And how do you know I haven't? I wouldn't just spit out some BS.

I'm a UGA fan, so believe me, I've seen plenty of Mitchell and the Tigers. Have YOU ever seen him play outside of Omaha or in person? ..Didn't think so -

I understand you being a fan of the White Sox and being excited about your prospect, but saying he's immediately one of the 3 fastest in the game is a bit of a stretch. I'd venture to say he'd be in the top 10-15 and you should be thrilled with that.

I wasn't actually being serious saying when i said he is a top 3 in the league. The dude hasn't even played a game in the minors let alone the majors.

I meant at their given ages right now. I think everyone understood that but you.
