QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 02:10 AM) Anyone else hear Bruce Levine say that Schwarber was #2 on the Cubs board after Brady Aiken and that they would have taken him over Rodon. Corporate spin in full gear there. I thought this too, but maybe they wouldn't have taken him because they didn't want to pay him most of their slot money? Still doubt it though

Surprised hawk didn't comment at all about Rodon since he loves to talk up sox players any chance he gets. Probably because he's with boras? He was saying on Wednesday "tell me who his agent is " lol

dont know if its just me, but i thought nothing of donaldsons tag and no reason for to machado to get so worked up about it? play

i forgot i had seen this the other day, did anyone see his interview with plesac? his mindset about getting hitters out is pretty funny/cool lol here

would have loved to see the sox draft room when the the astros took kolek lol

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:32 PM) Good looking dude too. Would be hilarious if he somehow lands a big role and becomes the next Holly heartthrob. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4754472/?ref_=nv_sr_1 wow , crazy lol yes he is

So awesome, even though bucket had us freaking out about us getting Jackson haha

I can't believe kolek went 2 lol had to be money

Yeeeeeszssss! Thank u loria!!! Haha

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:22 PM) f*** KW Oh no that would be awful. Please get rodon

Don't mess this up sox!!!!

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:09 PM) I think I'm going to stay out of this thread. This. After seeing about Aiken lol

There hasn't been any talk of Aiken going 2 right? So we should want kolek , Rodon here right

6pm it's here. Aiken/Rodon

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:49 PM) I don't totally understand this Competitive Balance section of the draft. If the White Sox flounder this year, what are the chances of getting this pick next year? Isn't that only for small market teams? Not based on team performance?

I still find it interesting though that Nolan met with kolek twice. Well since I don't think there's a chance we get Rodon, hopefully the Astros take Rodon or kolek!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) I don't really mind who they select of the top handful of guys, unless they pass on Rodon to take Nola. That would tick me off. My exact thoughts. Just don't pass on Rodon and leave him for the cubs or twins

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:30 PM) Good thing Hawk isn't drafting for the Sox, as he would probably just want to draft 10-15 round projected guys cause they have heart. hearing hawk, he would of passed on strasburg and harper lol

QUOTE (StRoostifer @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 09:10 PM) Assuming Aiken is gone by the time the Sox pick, Nola almost makes too much sense. I read earlier that Nola has a #2 ceiling, could fast track to the majors, right handed and projected to be very signable. Just fits too perfect between Sale and Q in the rotation. I still want Aiken but according to the good things I've read about Nola, I'd be quite happy with him at #3. im fine with any of the guys we have heard about getting as long as we dont pass on rodon

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) Kolek? Sorry, jose Fernandez lol

I hate how when it gets brought up about sale being so good and one of the best people say how they expect him to get injured at any moment. Ok , so until that happens , that doesn't mean you have to take away from what he's been doing. Any pitcher can get injured at any time

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:13 AM) We end up with either Rodon or Kolek in my mind. My trust in the White Sox front office tells me we take Rodon if he's available. This. Not saying he knows anything but stone just said he really thinks Aiken goes one. I think there's a good chance too about Jackson going to the marlins as has been said becuase although jofer/Rodon is nice , they have pitching , they need more bats especially since Stanton will be gone sooner or later.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 09:26 PM) Oh my god hawk. Oh my god. Really?? I don't care what hawk says I still think tulo>>alexei lol just my opinion though

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 07:43 PM) I really don't think the Sox pass on Rodon if he's there. Hahn was gushing about him in the booth during a spring training game. i hope thats how it works out, 1.aiken 2.jackson 3. rodon . i like aiken too, but hes only 17 and rodon can help maybe even this year

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 3, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Right now I'm predicting: 1) Aiken 2) Jackson 3) Rodon Jackson going to the Marlins is our best case scenario. Ultimately I think Aiken takes below slot money and goes 1-1. That allows Rodon to fall to us at 1-3. Honestly, I'd be shocked if we passed on Rodon for Kolek. Hahn has already called him the best college arm in the draft and he'd fit much better in our timeline to compete than a high school arm. I'm slightly worried that the Sox could pass on Rodon in favor of Nola to avoid the Boras headache. IMO, that would be a huge mistake. me too lol as someone previously said a page back or two,im going to be so nervous if rodon and kolek (and nola i guess) are available when its our turn
