We're through the first 30 rounds of this year's MLB Draft and the Chicago White Sox continue to make selections as they try to bolster a weak farm system. After taking an unusual route for the organization in nabbing a pair of prep hitters with its first two picks, the White Sox have mixed things up a bit more later in the draft.
With rounds 16 through 40 going down on Wednesday, the reality is that most of these names will prove to utterly insignificant, but the organization will always need added depth. Many of these players will eventually populate the team's affiliates in the lower minor leagues.
