QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 03:28 PM) Some of the beat writers are reporting 28 picks have signed. Obviously Rodon and Montes Oca are not among them. Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 3m White Sox announce they've agreed to terms with 28 draft picks, including nine of their top 10 selections. Not No.3 overall Carlos Rodon.

It is roster filler for Charlotte, nothing more.

The White Sox OF is 7th at getting to deeply hit fly balls. https://twitter.com/msimonespn/status/47679...4656384/photo/1

3 more guys I noticed weren't in the DSL team right now... I already saw that Luis Castillo, Victor Done, and Micker Adolfo weren't there. Also missing from the signings of 2012 are Antonio Rodriguez, Yelmison Peralta, and Roger Ramos. No idea if that means they are going to play for the AZ team, or if there is something else going on so far.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 11:20 AM) Jonathan Mayo ‏@JonathanMayoB3 2m As @CarrieMuskat reported @KyleSchwarber's $3.125 mil bonus, savings allows @Cubs to use almost $1.5 mil elsewhere in top 10 rds @MLBDraft Cubs sign Schwarber. With that kind of a number, I have no idea why the Cubs didn't take more HS players, such as De Oca.

Jay Zawaski ‏@JayZawaski670 36m If you missed it, Eddie O told us there's a "7/2" chance the Hawks move a veteran.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 10:00 AM) De Aza has been hitting better lately and history suggests he should continue to hit better. As far as stupid mistakes on the bases, Jordan Danks has been known to make a few. I agree defensively. Danks has been hitting better lately as well. 6 HR over the last 7 days.

Apparently the White Sox are signing/have signed, a Speed Skating Olympic medalist? NBC 6 Sports @NBC6Sports · Jun 9 Per his parents, U.S. Olympic speed skater & silver medalist @eddyalvarez90 is expected to sign with the @whitesox tomorrow Video of the contract signing. http://instagram.com/p/pEempGqM8v/#

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:56 AM) Jordan Danks is almost 28 years old and struggles in AAA. Let's be realistic. With De Aza hitting Danks-esque in the majors, the one thing that can be said is that Danks will at least catch the ball, and not make stupid mistakes on the bases.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:48 AM) It would be incredibly foolish not to go over if it meant we could sign Montes De Oca. I know it isn't our money but you are talking about a few hundred thousand dollar fine to sign a premium talent. It isn't about the money.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:26 AM) And it may BE done, we just don't know about it yet. It sometimes takes a few days for things to filter down, and the draft only finished a few days ago. Fry does have some leverage as a junior, but he was taken at pick 77 vs concensus 90's ranking or not top 100 on some lists and he's got TJ history. I just don't think he'll give up a $600-700k payday with all those dynamics at play. The longer it takes, the smaller the chances are at an underslot deal.

ESPN Stats & Info ‏@ESPNStatsInfo 10h Game 3 winner of a tied NBA Finals series goes on to win the series 83 percent of the time (30-6)

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:37 AM) Well you can go up to 5% over without losing draft picks. There is a financial penalty for every dollar over up to 5%, but that really shouldn't be a concern. The Sox won't go over. They never go over, ever since slotting came into existance.

Here is the latest with the info we have so far.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 09:17 AM) I'd bet 3, 8 and 9 all (or at least 2) go below slot to save even more, I could see us having 600-700k available. Jarvis at or slightly over maybe. I think Rodon will eat a bit of that too, but I'd also bet the Sox end up with north of 500k in extra money (which is to say 600k to offer) to Montes de Oca. The fact that Fry hasn't signed yet gives me pause. I would have thought a deal would be done by now.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:43 AM) It is safe to assume we will get big savings from Ziznewski as well. I would guess Clark is at slot or right around it. No idea with Jarvis but with how quickly he signed I would assume he was also at slot or just above it since the Sox wouldn't have gone much above slot for a 10th rounder that quickly. Depending on the Jarvis number, and then adding in savings from Ziz, we should be sitting at about $400k extra, like I projected yesterday.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB 1h 7th-rder Jake Peter agrees w/@WhiteSox on $203,800 (full value at 198). Creighton, 2B/SS for now, also to 96 mph on mound. @MLBDraft
