$61 mill, most ever
Wow they overpaid badly. 61 million guaranteed money for CK not even a top 10 ranked QB. Cam Newton loving this for his new deal.

Did Kenny get a discount for Hawkins, Honel, Broadway, Borchard, Mitchell, et al? Can't remember.
Hawkins was under new CBA slotted system.

His draft record is tied to him pushing the limits of the payroll every year and not having anything left over to spend on amateur talent and having to draft players that he could get at a discount.
No it was taking the cheapest player they could get signed and not have to deal with Boras type agents, payroll had nothing to do with it. Kenny was a terrible talent evaluator, when you cannot even call up a decent 4th OF because of injuries you know KW dropped the ball. Thank goodness for new slotted system or Sox would not be getting hardly anyone worth a dam. The year he drafted his Son, who could not even start for his college team so early in the draft was the worst.

Yea, I dont expect them to remain on 670 after 2015. Maybe in a twist they end up on WGN. But, I'd bank on 1000.
That sucks for me, because I always have issues getting 1000. Their transmission sucks... and I'm in Hoffman Estates!
WGN wants out of sports game totally. I do not see the Sox going there.

I wish KW would go off into the sunset. His draft record overall is terrible, he is the last guy who should be a deciding voice on 2014 pick choice.

He will be the less money guy...unfortunately I dont think he is going to be anywhere near as good as these top 3 guys could be.
As a fan I would not be very happy If Sox do not get 1 of big 3.
QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 11:36 PM)
Nola's upside is not high enough to draft him top 3. He'll probably be one of the first to the majors.
I just want Sox to take best guy and not get cute trying draft lesser guy to save money. Sox spent less than anyone before new CBA on draft and it shows badly now. I want KW nowhere near this pick.
