QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) After the White Sox selected Carey Schueler, they actually drafted 3 guys who played in the major leagues, including Placido Polonco who put up over a 41 WAR for his career. He didn't sign. That also was when draft and follow was still a thing. The draft rules have completely changed since the one example you can find going back to 1993.

QUOTE (Mike F. @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 10:30 AM) You never know though, sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough in the later rounds. I hate to just waste a pick for nothing. It would be different if the Sox were the only ones who did it. Heck he wasn't even the only owners kid drafted yesterday. That isn't even getting into all of the coaches kids drafted, etc.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 09:40 AM) Just letting you guys know that the #7 pick is Blake Hickman. I hate spell check too. Anyway. Great work on the draft posting all the draft info. Well done! Thanks for that, I fixed it. The list should be fully up to date. If anyone sees signing news good or bad, please post it here so we can update the list!

The whole ability to bring in some of the HS talent all depends on what kind of deal they cut with Fulmer. If they can sign him to say $3 million, instead of his slot of just under $3.5 million, that frees up some money. Right now we are probably even in the draft if you figure that rounds 9 and 10 as drafted seniors with a combined slotting of $315,500 should about save us what Rangari and Comito go over the slots. If they can squeeze a half a million out of Fulmer, and maybe a bit (say $100k) out of somewhere else, that could fee up close to a million dollars for another signing, or just over $500k each for two (if you use most of the 5% you can go over=> $100K slot+ 500k Rd savings + $100k rest of draft saving + $267,374.99 overage allowance.= $967,374.99. For two picks you would add in another $100k for that slots signing slot as well.) Rd 1 $3,470,600 Rd 4 $508,000 Rd 5 $380,400 Rd 6 $284,800 Rd 7 $213,400 Rd 8 $174,800 Rd 9 $163,200 Rd 10 $152,300 Total $5,347,500

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 06:40 PM) Micker Adolfo (way off) would be another possibility, albeit extremely raw and a long path ahead. If he had stayed in the US, he would have just graduated high school, and gone through his first draft.

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 09:18 AM) I have never seen this before. I really don't care if Ventura misses... it's nice that the Sox organization isn't being facist to its manager. Just going to be honest this and last year missing games for graduations.... Can someone give me a similar example? I can't think of one. I am not positive, but I think I remember Guillen missing time for a graduation for one of his kids.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 09:51 PM) You going to give him some credit now? Probably not. This sport makes my head hurt. I hope you weren't holding your breath... And it wasn't the sport making your head hurt, it was the excessive amounts of alcohol it takes to watch this team...

QUOTE (harkness @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 09:13 AM) It was a widely held belief by a ton of intelligent baseball people that the Sox were going to be good this year with all their signings.... It hasn't happened yet but these few people running in here like "I told you so..." It makes me laugh... For many I think the "I told you so" is more important than actually enjoying the game of baseball.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 11, 2015 -> 08:13 AM) As if on cue, haha, 11 minutes later. Somedays Soxtalk is its own meme generator.

Charlie Hannema ‏@CharlieHannema Source: The price tag that got Carl Albert's Corey Zangari to the White Sox and away from #okstate was more than $500,000. #okpreps

I am now opening this thread. All signings and bonus information goes here, please!

:wub:

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Yep Is there any reason to believe his ceiling is not Chris Sale? He may even have a slightly higher ceiling as I think he can be a guy who goes out 225 IP each year.

Rd 38 Staab, Cody College Station HS (TX) CF

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 04:54 PM) LOL Awesome But the Sox set the standard with the employee publicly complaining that the org. insulted he and his son by not drafting him higher And said employee is unemployed. I don't think that is a coincidence.

Rd 37 Alston, Garvin Mountain Pointe HS (AZ) LHP

QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 04:38 PM) I like that Hickman pick. So far only one "son of and insider" pick. And no daughters. Not bad. There is a ton going on now. The Astros managed to pick a Biggio and a Clemens in back to back rounds.
