After drafting college players with their first-round pick for nine straight years, the White Sox shifted gears.
Montgomery reached base safely in a staggering 50 straight games last season while playing for Low Class A Kannapolis and high A Winston-Salem. The 21-year-old Indiana native entered the year ranked No. 39 on Baseball America's Top 100 prospects list. With arms like Schultz, Jonathan Cannon, Sean Burke, Cristian Mena, Peyton Pallette and Matthew Thompson, Sox pitching prospects are on the upswing.Waldrep was hit hard by LSU in the College World Series, but the right-hander allowed only 2 runs over 21 innings while striking out 37 in his previous three starts.
Overcoming a slow start this season, the left-handed hitting Taylor finished strong and wound up slashing .308/.430/.631 with 23 home runs and 70 RBI in 67 games for the Horned Frogs.
