QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 04:05 PM) He battled through injuries his senior year at Iowa to get his team into the regionals for the first time in a generation, his performance was down and his results toward the end of the season were not on par with where he had been for the rest of the season and really sours his stats. He is going to take a long time to make an impact, he has never handled a pro workload and its going to take him a few years to get there. Thats probably part of the reason for the late start to the season, trying to limit his innings while he builds up over time. His ceiling is probably back of the rotation starter with a floor of AAA RP depth. Hes a good story and a lot of people are wishing success for him because of that, I don't think anyone projects him to be a staff ace at any point, but if he can develop into a valuable piece than its a great deal for the Sox in every way. I also feel like some mistake rooting for a player on a personal basis, with thinking they are going to make it big time.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 03:54 PM) This year it is all dollars above $125k per player for rounds 11-40 that applies to the pool. Thanks for the update, didn't realize this went up in the last CBA.

QUOTE (2005thxfrthmmrs @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 03:49 PM) Is that the number before they go into pick penalty? They should have gamble on a couple of high schoolers at the start of Day 3. Yes. For any pick after the 10th round, you get a free $100k, so in theory we could offer that overage amount, plus $100k to anyone one person in rounds 11-40 and not go into the penalty phase.

With amounts being released for Burger, Gonzalez, Johnson, Dedelow, and Olson, the Sox are $825,900 ahead of their draft pool cap.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 01:31 PM) I feel like these types of rumors of mass player movement end up all being complete duds. But maybe the Warriors have broken the NBA so badly that teams are all just like screw it, lets rebuild for 5 years from now and let the Cavs, Spurs and Warriors fight this out in the meantime. The NBA has by far the largest amount of BS information when it comes to player movement as compared to any of the other professional leagues.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 01:36 PM) This was great. Henzman definitely will be given a chance to start. Have a feeling they will keep Tyler Johnson at back of the pen And to add to this, this is a must listen to podcast. There is SO MUCH amazing detail and information on individual players that hasn't been publicly said this point.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 01:11 PM) So uh, if the Sox draft Beer next year is Birmingham going to have a "burger and beer" night special? I am not going to lie, I was hoping they drafted Troy Bacon for the same reason.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 01:10 PM) I wouldn't be surprised if the cost savings on Burger ends up being simply cost savings. Just like trading for that International spending. Also, if I'm right, I'm okay with it. They spent $50mm acquiring a prospect. I said the same thing on Day 3 of the draft. Going off of what has been said already, there is a good chance that some cost savings was baked into this draft. I see at least 750k in savings in the first 10 rounds, without a lot of places to spend it. There were also a ton of senior draft picks late which will get next to zero bonuses.

ESPN Podcasts‏ @podcenter 1h1 hour ago “A lot of AL teams aren’t going to sell like we’d initially anticipated.” - @Buster_ESPN to @keithlaw

I wonder if the Cubs will think it is worth it if the Padres decide to drill Rizzo later on.

That might be the first time ever I have heard a guy in this position say that the players weren't their first choices.

Garcia is back into 5th place, and about 30k votes from 4th. He is just about 200k short of a starting spot.

Replaces Leury Garcia on the active roster

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 10:25 AM) It remains incredibly distressing to me that the front office that f***ed everything up(repeatedly), just 5 months ago traded solid assets and PICKS for Cam f***ing Payne, is now in a position to make another trade with their only real asset and try and fix this mess that they made. Do not want. Do not want any of it I can totally respect this, and have many of the same feels.

QUOTE (shipps @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 09:43 AM) So Jimmy is actually pushing the Bulls FO for a trade to Cleveland now? That might be the only way he gets trade is if he publicly calls out the front office. That seems to be one way to get a ticket out of Chicago.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 04:02 AM) What's everyone's ideal Jimmy package? I'd be asking Brown, #3 (Fox) and the Nets pick next year. Add salary filler. RoLo would be great for the Cs, but I don't know if it's possible to financially add Butler, Lopez and Hayward. You end up rebuilding around this... Fox, Grant, Payne Valentine, MCW Brown, Zipser Portis, Mirotic (no harm in keeping him at that point) Felicio Take BPA at #16 Then hope the Nets pick positions you for Porter/Doncic/Ayton. Supposedly Kings love Jackson, so you could possibly turn the #3 and #16 into #5 and #10 More likely scenario is Gar stands pat and signs Iggy. Ideal? One that includes Gar Forman. Past that, As much young talent and high potential as possible.
