QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 02:23 PM) Great sign (grabbed from Draft Picks threaD) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 2m Source said #WhiteSox have agreed in principle to sign 2nd-rd pick, RHP Spencer Adams, at slot. Suggested slot is $1.282 mill. Great news.

Speaking of "fails"...

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:39 PM) I wonder if the Sox would be willing to forfeit a draft pick next year if they think he is that good? If they think he is a first round talent, it may be worth it to sign Rodon, Adam and him. Not a chance. Even when the slot money was suggestions, this team always followed it.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:34 PM) I really don't understand the need for you to critique each of my posts,but maybe history will help. Last year, Kris Bryant wound up signing for slot. Appel wound up signing for 18% below slot. They both had Boras as an "advisor". Rodon will sign somewhere near slot. There may be a little dance to get there, but it makes zero sense for him not to sign unless he really doesn't want to play for the White Sox. The Sox aren't going to lose draft picks. And there is a 99% chance Rodon signs. And it is simplistic, because with the new rules, it's pretty simple. If he looks for the rumored $8 million bonus that was whispered before the draft, all of that flies out the window, and explains why neither Miami or Houston touched him.

BR puts odds of signing De Oca at 50% http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2081202...14th-round-pick

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:30 PM) I bet we have to go overslot with Rodon and Adams, but we can go way underslot with a lot of the seniors they drafted too. If they could get three potential frontline SP pitching prospects signed (Rodon, Adams, Montes de Oca) gotta be happy. I am guessing we either break even, or come out a very small amount ahead on our top 10.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:27 PM) Considering the value of this bonus will be about half of what it took to sign Jeff Keppinger, I don't think it means much to the "relationship" either way, unless Rodon winds up not signing. What they are going to be arguing about now with the new rules is total chump change. That is an incredibly simplistic view of what is going to go on, especially because we could be talking about losing draft picks both this year and next year, if they were to ignore the caps.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) If we come in exactly at slot for the first 10 picks and are willing to pay the tax the Sox can offer him about $590,000 which would put him at about the middle of the third round in terms of bonus. That will be really tough for a guy who has already had Tommy John once to turn down. He would basically be having to bet that he actually stays healthy for the next 3 years and that he pitches well enough to get taken in the first two rounds. IIRC, it is more like $475k It is 5% of $9.5 million.

QUOTE (southside hitman @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:06 PM) This post will probably be edited to "good" from "hood" but I immediate picture Hahn and Boras wearing wife beaters and bandanas throwing up gang signs. Boras does love to rob the rich.

Or he could ask for $8 million and cause a bigger rift than ever to emerge.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 12:43 PM) University of Missouri is also an incredible school. Once in a lifetime shot there. Nobody could turn that down. LOL. In all seriousness, if the Sox scrape together half a million dollars, plus a full ride, it will be interesting to see what he does.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 12:32 PM) Are we all guessing that Montes De Oca will be something we won't know until we see Adams and Rodon in the fold? From what I've seen people think it will take 7 figures. I can't imagine we can generate that much with Rodon and Adams going over slot. At the very least. He could be a last day signing for sure.

Anthony Castrovince ‏@castrovince 1h The Tigers’ 9th-inning numbers are staggering: 7.71 ERA, .923 OPS against, 24 extra-base hits allowed. Has given a pulse to rest of Central.

Real good news for Chicago. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06...eed-70-million/

DE-TROIT SUCKS!!!

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 08:50 AM) There's nothing irrational about deciding that a certain civil status can only be conferred on two people. Much of existing law and private policies surrounding legal marriage would have to be reworked to allow for more-than-two-people legal marriages. SS survivors benefits, power of attorney, health insurance policies for you and your spouse, visitation rights and rights to information at hospitals, etc. I don't personally care, and just because something meets a rational basis doesn't mean it's good or correct policy. But there's an obvious difference between a civil arrangement of two people that excludes certain consenting adults and a civil arrangement that's open to any two consenting people but is limited to two. It is done in the cases of inheritances all of the time.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 09:08 AM) This is not a stupid move. It is kind of like replying to your crazy racist great uncle who is 90 and senile.
