What is the point of the Reinsdorf draft? Like he's not signing and surely everyone knows it's a nepotism pick, so what gain is there? Is it the hope that some college sees "draft pick by the White Sox" on his CV and doesn't recognise the name? It might be a 0.001% chance that your 40th round pick does anything for you in the majors, maybe unlikely you even want to sign anyone at that point because of numbers, but I'm not seeing the advantage even for the Reinsdorf kid in the pick.
Its like winning a Dundy, but in baseball.
I personally think its silly too, though other teams do it. And its not a huge deal, as long as its at the very back end of the draft. The KW Jr pick in the 6th round years back, now that was just assinine and I hated that one.
