Surprises me after gabby giffords, but I guess they would just reach out to local police then.

Guess we will find out soon enough. #3/5 are scary. I would be v surprised if congress did not have allocated protection for themselves. But i suppose I have never heard anything concrete there.

I will not be really paying attention today but would like to see a pick for the ACE alumn at Vanderbilt at some point.

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 08:33 AM) I expect more of this as Trump and his Republican ilk continue to try to cater this country to a select few people. There is no justification for this. They are using political means and it should be met with political means. Violence has no place there.

Am impressed by the resiliency to this response so far. Business continuing on in capitol. Leaders offering condolences, no great panic or freakout. I do think this type of response can hopefully cut down on sick allure to copycat events.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 08:40 AM) Do members of congress get secret service protection? I think secret service lies with executive branch positions.

Absolutely terrible and frightening.

9th round is for indiana. Wasn't jackson glines 9th round too? Dedelow is a great name, doubt he gets out of AZ.

Sox Draft Craig DeDelow OF Indiana University Big power, 19 home runs. Only hit .258. College senior.

white sox up

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) No chance the sox sign him then. That's one of the top water polo schools in the nation. Must have picked him knowing they won't sign him and save some money. That actually wouldn't help us. If he doesn't sign we lose that slot money, if we wanted to save money would be much better signing a college senior for under 100k.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) I'm really digging this draft as well, assuming that we can sign all of these guys Burger Sheets Gonzalez Henzman Johnson McClure Skoug Abbott? I think we got three interesting arms in Henzman, Johnson and McClure. McClure stands out as a player who could be a late bloomer given his huge size. Burger, Sheets and Skoug certainly add a power element that did not really exist within the organization. Each also helps fill out our organizational depth. If we didn't sign Abbott I wouldn't be that bummed. To not sign a college junior would be pretty odd (in the top 10)

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:25 PM) Let the legend of Montes de Oca die in peace (please) 3 years in college and he may have moved up 3 rounds.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:08 PM) What's the report on this guy? Interesting timing to go high schooler here consider the last few picks will likely be overslot. My guess is because this guy doesn't have a strong college bball commit he may not be that expensive for a high schooler.

QUOTE (Hatchetman @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) sounds like a wasted pick to me. They have gotten a lot of very developed players, in the 8th round, going after a projectable player is not a waste. Maybe 2 of the 8th rounders will be a major leaguer for multiple years.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:03 PM) Sam Abbott, Curtis HS 6'4" 225 1B Thanks, clearly Callis and Mayo were scrambling for some notes. Basically talked about water polo for 20 seconds.

Grabbed a 1b high schooler, who is a bigtime water polo player and committed to school for it. 6'5, big power, athlete. That's all i got, couldn't even pick out his name.

so soon to be rounds 8-10. Wonder how many actual slot guys we can get, or if any are high schoolers. If we go high schooler I would imagine we may need to draft seniors 9 and 10

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) The only concern that I have so far with the draft is that it seems like the Sox FO still doesnt put a high priorty on defense. Really wanted to see that come through in this rebuild. I assume there are probably very few players that are great with both offense and defense but still would like to have seen some more promising reports that guys that they take play exceptional defense. Yes, this. It looks like a team that would look similar to Charlotte, with a lot of your best players are only average defensively. It does seem like for up the middle players we have some nice athleticism org wide in anderson, moncada, robert, Basabe along with some fundamentally sound guys in Sanchez, Saladino, and Mendick. And you see the same with Luis Gonzalez. But the corner guys seem to lack that. But aside from Charlotte with Delmonico and Hayes, the corners are both bad hitting and defense. Getting some good hitting 3b and 1b is at least correcting one. Sheets defense wasn't considered a negative though.

mlb pipeline: https://www.mlb.com/draft/tracker/drafted Thoughts: Baseball player sox may feel really good about their catcher development after Collins so far He's being compared to a 1st round pick last year.

This draft as a whole is very very very promising

Speak of the devil. Just drafted evan skoug

Sox up

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 03:16 PM) Skoug is a college jr. Why wouldn't he sign? No idea, talking more about beck/burns

Could see montas de oca?
