White Sox director of amateur scouting Nick Hostetler is friends with Orioles general manager Mike Elias. Royals GM Dayton Moore gave Hostetler his first job as a scout for the Braves. And Royals assistant GM Lonnie Goldberg is a good buddy.
The Orioles and Royals also happen to be the two teams picking ahead of the Sox in the MLB amateur draft, which begins Monday night.

If the mock drafts and various reports are to be believed, Hostetler won’t need to give any hints.
