southsider2k5 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 08:04 PM) Wait, you mean the Sox drafted another Guillen or Williams offspring? We all know Guillens can't be counted on to show up for work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guillen's are either drunk, hung over or busy talking smack about the Sox on twitter to get some attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 The White Sox went with a lot of high upside, tough signs in the later rounds. Their 26th (Farrar), 34th (Shirley), 35th (Acton), 37th (Kaplan), and 39th (Lavey) all have strong commits to big programs. It makes me wonder if they cut some deals with some of the college players they took earlier so they would have extra cash for the later rounds… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) For the FS people out there, any of the late HS picks worth being excited about? I know we drafted our future grounds keeper in the 31st round, but other than that? I know you're just hating on Bossard because the White Sox are known for nepotism with draft picks (I can't believe this isn't a Matt post I'm replying to), but Bossard is a real prospect. Real good shortstop, strong arm, good speed, baseball junkie type. He was a decent high school pitcher, too. Could throw upper 80s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sounds like a combo of Tyler Danish and EJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 05:54 PM) How much information is out there about the high school kid Zach Farrar they took in round 26? When I quickly looked him up, it looks like he is a big time football player with big D1 offers. Is this our bonus baby for this year? I expect Curelo to be fairly expensive in round 6. He's pretty highly regarded. Hickman probably signs this Time too. That's probably most of their bonus pool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hickman probably signs this Time too. That's probably most of their bonus pool though. I think we might have a shot with signing at least one or two, I wouldn't imagined they'd spend 6 of the last 7 picks on HS kids if they think they won't have $$ left over. Don't know anything about the last kid selected but according to FS tracker, he does not have a college commitment yet, so he could be an easier sign.

It wasn't really hate as much as it was a joke, but I am glad to hear he is legit. Any chance at signing these late HS picks? Do you think we saved enough money early?

Real good shortstop, strong arm, good speed, baseball junkie type. He was a decent high school pitcher, too. Could throw upper 80s. To be fair, he could come up, have a HoF career over 20 years with the Sox and he would still be our future groundskeeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 FYI, we've updated the Tracker with the first wave of signing-related updates. It's too early for many actual signings, but plenty of general indicators on players now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
