PrintKyle Gibson and Alex White are tied with 26% of the vote each. Here are the scouting reports:
On the surface, they look pretty similar - both right-handed starting college pitchers. As I understand it - and I make no claims of expertise here - the choice between the two comes down to safety vs. potential. Gibson is seen as the safer pick, while many think White has the higher upside.
So, again: who will the Pittsburgh Pirates take with the #4 pick?

Tanner Scheppers wasn’t exactly safe last year, though that was a second round pick.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that pie > cake, that Bochy is endowed by his creator with certain undeniable traits, that among these are veteran man-love, a gigantic skull, and the pursuit of the double switch.
Adopted Giant: Fred Lewis, who can still draw a walk.
And we almost have a tie again. Whee!

I went Gibson, mostly because White has been having control issues lately and is having some distressing troubles with getting college hitters out.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.
