QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) Sale absolutely fell to us. He was considered a top 5-10 pick at the time. Huh - I must not have remembered it correctly then... I thought at the time when we picked him at 13 it was a surprise that many in the industry didn't like.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:55 PM) He's such a snarky bastard. +1

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:58 PM) I think the sox get Haseley. We've been pretty successful recently with guys who kinda fell to us (Rodon, Fulmer to an extent and of course Chris f***ing Sale). Sure hope you're right... I wouldn't necessarily consider Fulmer and Sale as picks who fell to us like Rodon thou.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:14 AM) That's not accurate according to the story that made this national news... The national coverage has been dumbed down to just reflect his final charges. The reality was much worse. It's obviously impossible for me to not engage in discussion about this s*** - the only thing to gain is having the truth be known. As meaningless as it may be, the victim deserves it.

QUOTE (StrykerSox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:04 AM) Where did you hear this? I found articles clearly describing the event on a 6 year old as a 15 year old, but have found nothing describing it as an ongoing thing. I could possibly dig up some mercy if it was a one-time thing at 15, but the situation you describe puts it in a whole other ballpark. Last thing I'll say about it in this thread: This source cites court documents that describe the originally charged offense before it was pled down. https://www.seccountry.com/vanderbilt/orego...l-vs-vanderbilt He does not deserve to play professional baseball.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) I said that a projected top 50 pick would be a value on day 2 or day 3. I didn't say anything controversial. Sorry if my post insinuated something else because I didn't mean to. Again, please keep Heimlich talk in Heimlech thread. Here it is: http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=102854

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:29 PM) ...? The Pac12 is the one calling for it My position is that media outlets should be able to excersize their rights to freedom of speech and shouldn't be directed in how they respond. Any situation where national attention gets turned to this subject should be fair game to bring the need for tighter regulation and limitation statutes reform for prosecution against these types of crimes. I get that the media really isn't free anymore but believe it should be. QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:32 PM) ...Heimlich talk... Poop on Heimlich.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:07 PM) Actually I can. I am not sure we even disagree not that it matters. Keep the discussion on Heimlich in the thread designated to talk about Heimlich. Pretty simple. Yea man - you can do whatever you want... but for the first time in the 4 years you've been here I can say that your statements have been disrespectful and contradictory. You opened the door wide open for discussion by making a controversial statement which had merit... then shut the door. Respectfully said... Poorly done.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:18 PM) Frankie Piliere @FPiliereD1 · 4m #WhiteSox had Kenny Williams in to evaluate both #UVA bats. I think they'd take either Haseley or Smith if they were there at 11. I'm getting more and more excite

QUOTE (ecupittfan @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:15 PM) Hearing it is possible that McKenzie Gore could also go #1 overall. It'd be a good pick. This draft should really show how important it is for us to be drafting top 3 in 2018 / 2019 compared to the double digits. Look at what concecutive high first round hits did for Huston and the Nationals.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:06 PM) 670 The Score‏Verified account @670TheScore 1h1 hour ago White Sox's focus in draft is on best available player http://cbsloc.al/2sbUkc6 via @MLBBruceLevine I like this Hostetler quote: Gives me some confidence that I'll be happy with whoever they end up with.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) Baseball America‏Verified account @BaseballAmerica 7m7 minutes ago Scouts and analysts agree: Keston Hiura is the top college bat. Absolutely would love him, Haseley, or Beck. Would be happy with White as well. Just no Kendall or Adell, please.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:52 AM) His first hit/HR: https://www.instagram.com/p/BVP_yX2Bbhm/ First hit and homerun on the same swing. Nice.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:23 AM) http://deadspin.com/internal-memo-instruct...n-ho-1796022176 Oregon State sending out instructions on how to discuss this Not a good look Just another example as to why I strongly dislike mainstream media.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:35 AM) You'd prefer Gore as a hitter over pitcher? Honestly I'd try to let him DH and pitch, both of his skill sets should allow him to do so and there seems to be a talent / industry trend moving towards this tactic.

Gore Haseley Beck Lewis Smith White Kendall Adell That's my bat order preference in terms of how well I think they'll play out over their career regardless of pick order and removing the big two two-way players.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:50 AM) Just to avoid clogging this thread up with the debate on the child molesting issue, can we please post those thoughts in the thread in Future Sox ? Not that I don't think it is worth discussing, but it's a sensitive, emotional debate that is starting to spill over into multiple threads. Noted. Good call. Draft, start now... please. I also am compelled to say that his name alone makes me want to vomit.

QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) Eh, this is not a DUI or significant character concerns. He is a sex offender and molested a 4 year old at age 15 and continued to do so for 2 years until he was caught as a 17 year old. Organizations have a reputation to maintain and it just isn't worth the headache. Adjusted for accuracy

QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) pipe dream scenario 1(11) - Adam Haseley 2(49) - Brendon Little 3(87) - Brent Rooker That's a Living on Mars scenario

QUOTE (Sleepy Harold @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 09:09 AM) Beck 1st Rooker 2nd I would need to change my pants.

I can't believe we're still on this merry go round

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:28 AM) The child molester gets drafted. f*** this post.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 08:23 AM) The second he got drafted, he would be best defensive player in the organization Smith, White, Beck, Haseley pipe dream, Hiura, hell even Burger before Kendall... please.
