QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:01 PM) Ya, this is about as good of a first day as one could possibly imagine. '13 & '14 Sox drafts should prove to be damn good.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:00 PM) Couldn't be happier with the Sox draft tonight!

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) Absolutely fantastic draft. Adams is a stud

QUOTE (BFirebird @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:51 PM) Cubs believe the opposite for whatever reason. I agree with you. If Foley is still there at #44 and the Sox can't sway him he's probably a Cub.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) Burdi, Reed or Stinnett? Burdi in the mix if they feel they can clean up his control.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I'm sure I already missed this discussion, but why hasn't Reid-Foley come off the board yet? $ + FSU

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:27 PM) Good Heard he was target #1 after Schwarber was pegged for less $$. Cubs wanted Rodon big time too. Not a good time for the north side plan.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:21 PM) It will be in early 20's at best. Flaherty gone to Cards. Theo & Jed are so pi$$ed right now.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:37 PM) Would love for that to happen. Wouldn't impact the draft pool as much then. So much depth in this class, hope the Sox can take advantage of it. No doubt. This draft is incredibly deep in pitching.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) If Rodon is really looking for $6M like twitter rumors have said, then I don't think it should be a big deal to sign him. Maybe they get him to come down to slot value and promise a taste of the big leagues this fall like they did with Chris Sale. Basically, do everything exactly the same they did with Sale. That seemed to have worked well. Hah. +1

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) I LOVE Kopech. That delivery is atypical with some deception. Would be absolutely stoked with him. Weaver is great too. Do they really have the money for Flaherty though? Supposedly looking for 2 million. Yeah that would take some talk. Word is the org really sells their heath track record hard (and well) in talks so that could help.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:19 PM) Did Kenny really want Jackson though? Who do you see the Sox pick at 44? It's Rick's show all the way. Kopech Flaherty Weaver

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:05 PM) So awesome, even though bucket had us freaking out about us getting Jackson haha My bad. Couldn't resist.

Watching CR pitch against Cuba was like watching somebody's dad pitch in little league.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:19 PM) There he is.

KW wants Jackson. Let's see the reach of his pull...

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:19 PM) This better be Rodon.

Rodon to Sox?

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 27, 2014 -> 05:35 PM) Marco Paddy. Still waiting to see some more concrete signs of his contributions. Some dude named Abreu

QUOTE (Marty34 @ May 3, 2014 -> 01:51 PM) Looks like more work being done by the great Marco Paddy. You can thank Paddy for Abreu.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Apr 3, 2014 -> 12:52 PM) This very much reiterates what Bucket has been trumpeting. I still like Hoffman personally. Throw out the college stats. You scout on what can be. Hoffman has the most upside. Verlander & Wainwright are legit comps. He's a stellar athlete with velo, body and feel. Flashes 70FB/60CB/55CH already. Lauman has been all over him since before the cape.

Drafting an amateur player is about PROJECTION. NOT stats.

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Mar 14, 2014 -> 07:01 PM) That's being kind. He was shelled. Gotta believe he's on the brink of falling out of consideration at #3, barring a turnaround. Highly doubtful. Still projects as the best pitcher in the draft.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 27, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I was listening to Bruce Levine on with Hub Arkush tonight briefly and Bruce was talking about the Sox having some interest in Mike Leake from Cincinnati. Did anyone hear this or know anything about it? Stop listening to Bruce Levine. ...about anything.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Feb 17, 2014 -> 09:07 PM) If anyone had higher realistic hopes than the top offensive 1B on the market, they were idiots. +1 This
