Soxfest

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:03 PM) UGA recruit... So money will be an issue, especially as he fell almost 20 spots from where he was expected to be selected. They might really front-load almost all of their pool into the first 5-10 picks or so. If it takes more then do it Sox needs both to sign badly. These are 2 first round talents in a very depleted minor league system.

Get Rodon/Adams signed rest of draft is gravy.

Adams is a nice pick to me.

Mark Appel looking like a buster so far.

Glad Reed is gone.

QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:48 PM) The quote was "$6m plus". Plus is the key.

KC drafting a Catcher with Perez signed long term huh?

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:41 PM) What are you keeping from us? What is the big deal Rock?

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:37 PM) Now 10 players left on the Baseball America Top 500 that are ranked higher than the Sox pick, 5 picks to go: 19. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP 20. Monte Harrison, OF 21. Jacob Gatewood, SS 23. Spencer Adams, RHP 33. Jacob Bukauskas, RHP (signability issues) 36. Nick Burdi, RHP 40. Michael Gettys, OF 41. A.J. Reed, 1B 42. Joe Gatto, RHP 43. Mike Papi, OF/1B Top 500 or Top 50?

Must be overdraft a Catcher night.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Anybody interested in AJ Reed at #44? Power-hitting LH 1B. Not a good fit.

Start up again lets go.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:19 PM) You gotta be kidding. Other teams are drafting, too, you know. Geez, we are 40 or so under .500 in minors this year. It will be in early 20's at best.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:12 PM) With the lack of college hitters in this class, kind of surprised Derek Fisher is still available. Well he has played Basketball for many years.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:50 PM) Is there any chance Rodon doesn't sign with us? None he has nothing to gain by going back to school. It may take some time but he will sign.

Weaver history

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:27 PM) For the most part, Boras draft clients take right up to the signing deadline. Hopefully Hahn expedites the process and for less money then we think. If Bor-ASS wants Rodon called up this year then he needs to sign asap.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) It's Rick's show all the way. Thanks the Lord for small favors.

Chicago White Sox – $5,721,500...........Rodon should sign for slot with the promise like Sale to be called up this year for arbitration clock to start should make Sox and Bor-ASS happy.

Everyone butt the Scrubs have done very good so far.

Minn nice pick.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:32 PM) This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move. He will not be a bust.....Kolek to me has a chance to be one.

QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) Surprise the Cubs went underslot So Cubs bad pick ..............stadium half empty tonight. Sheep are getting restless.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:29 PM) Even if it's 500k over, it's definitely worth the risk. I agree
