QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 01:00 PM) Hooper, Sands, Everett, Traver still available. But even if drafted, probably won't sign anyway. The Sox often draft guys like this late, for nothing else but the right to talk to them and build good will for a potential drafting later on.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 12:45 PM) I think the poor defensive fundamentals has played a large part in that. I'd agree with this. We have seen a lot of unearned, earned runs this year.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 10:48 AM) does anyone knows if he will be a RP or a SP in the sox org. The typical Sox MO is to bring guys in as a starter, and if they don't make it, convert them back to RP. They did it with both Addison Reed and Nate Jones.

This is the White Sox draft slots. The combined bonuses awarded to the players drafted in these slots, plus any bonuses over 100k in rounds 11-40 cannot exceed the total figure on the bottom of $5,347,500. At $5,347,501, penalties start kicking in. If the total is 5% over $5,347,500, we lose a draft pick. The penalties get worse at 10% over your allotment. 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 Here is why you can't just draft BPA anymore. Round 1, best player available wants a $5 million bonus. Guess what, if you sign him, you only have $347,500 to sign all of your picks in rounds 2-10, or face the draft penalties. If your next picks gets a $2 million bonus, not only are you paying A 100% TAX on everything over your allotment, you also forfeit your next TWO first round picks. See penalties below. http://www.bleachernation.com/2015/06/05/2...-penalties-etc/

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 10:05 AM) If those seniors wouldn't sign for $10,000 then there was no reason to take them in top 10 picks. They may go off the board early today. Exactly. Now they can be offered up to 100K penalty free. I would expect a run on them in round 11.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 10, 2015 -> 10:03 AM) then remember this debate of BPA for next yr discussion. when the discussion comes around on getting or not getting the BPA. People need to understand that the process has changed and is still evolving. The last CBA completely overhauled everything that used to be true about the draft. The idea of BPA is completely gone in the MLB draft. The concepts of signability and fitting a guy into your caps as you spend on others is now everything. Getting a guy to agree to cheap terms ahead of time so you can use his slot money on a higher rated player in another area becomes more important. If a team were to literally draft BPA for the first 10 rounds, they wouldn't be able to sign most of them and it would look a lot like Houston's draft disaster from last year. The dominos of having one player out of place when it comes to signing can destroy everything else. No other sport is like this. As a baseball fan you are best served to just forget the phrase "Best Player Available" when it comes to the draft. It is as dead as the 4 man rotation and 150 pitch outings.
