Gillaspie doing line drive things.

It would be nice if Eaton stopped sucking. What is his BA since May 1st? Like .200?

Updated list with all our picks. If anyone finds any other handles, post 'em.

For anyone interested, I just created a resource for all the twitter accounts of our draftees. I'm leaving for work now, but if you come across more accounts as they get drafted, please post it in that thread so I can update it later tonight when I get home. http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=92292

Did this thread last year, and I may as well do it again. This thread is more or less a compilation of twitter acounts for the players we draft, and then this list is to be added to whomever creates the Draftee Signings thread that keeps us up to date on who has signed thus far. A fair amount of players reveal that they've signed via their twitter accounts, so hopefully we start seeing those tweets in the next week. I'll be leaving for work soon, so everyone feel free to add twitter accounts as you find them or as they get drafted... 1) LHP Carlos Rodon - @CarlosRodon16 2) RHP Spencer Adams - @adamswc12 3) LHP Jace Fry - Formerly @Jacefry 4) C Brett Austin - @brettaustin_3 5) RHP Zach Thompson - @zachthompson11 6) CF Louie Lechich - @Zooey_Louis 7) SS Jake Peter - @JWPeezy4 8) SS John Ziznewski - @JZiznewski 9) LHP Brian Clark - @BClark30 10) 2B Jake Jarvis - @jarvis_jake 11) OF Zach Fish - @OSUZachFish 12) RHP Connor Walsh - 13) LHP Mike Gomez - @Michael_Gomez7 14) RHP Bryce Montes de Oca - @Bmontes43 15) LHP Ben Brewster - 16) RHP Matt Cooper - 17) RHP William Trexler - 18) LHP Tanner Banks - 19) LHP Aaron Bummer - @bummin_it18 20) RHP Brannon Easterling - @BrannonE49 21) 3B Ryan Leonards - @rleonards7 22) 3B Kevin Swick - 23) C Michael Hollenbeck - @MikeHolly02 24) CF Michael Suiter@suitaaboi 25) RF Mason Robbins - @MasonRobbins_25 26) SS Ethan Gross - @ErGross_02 27) 1B Ryan Jones - 28) 3B Blair Moore - 29) RHP Evin Einhardt - @E_Einhardt_24 30) 1B Marc Flores - 31) RHP Josh Goossen-Brown - @10gooose 32) LHP Adam Choplick - @AdamChoplick 33) OF Louis Silverio - @louissilverio 34) LF Michael Danner - @MichaelDanner8 35) LHP Jared Koenig - 36) C Dayne Wagoner - @daynewagoner 37) 1B Jed Sprague - 38) SS Anthony Justiniano - 39) CF James Davison - @Jay_Davison1 40) RF Julien Service - @jservice13

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 09:00 AM) Maybe try paying attention to the world around you. LOL. Ok, pal.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 06:15 PM) LMAO, you've got to be kidding me with this. People will find a reason to make a big deal out of it? It's a big deal in and of itself, pro athlete or not. But hey, let's put the onus on "the people" instead of the person putting stupid s*** on twitter. Glad it doesn't offend you, though. Yeah, not a big deal at all, actually.

Speaking of dudes named Montas..... Another Montas for us, Ernesto, start for our DSL team. He went 5 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K.

Nice start by Money Montas. His K/BB is nearing 8. That's exceptional. I wonder if he gets to AA before the all-star break.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 04:03 PM) Just remember it's a VERY brief synopsis about what actually happened, and it puts a little too much emphasis on only a few people. I think the coolest thing was how FDR put out a FAKE army of inflatable tanks to trick Hitler in to sending his men there, and then they went and stormed Normandy instead. That's hilarious and I can't believe I had never heard that before. I wish they talked more about what the German soldiers thought when they fired upon balloons. LOL.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 03:34 PM) Yea I was gonna say the last thing you want to do is over extend yourself with the bonus money and have to let Adams go. Gotta be careful with these picks and make sure there is money there for Adams and Rodon. It would be great if they could get the top-end figures back for Rodon and Adams back ASAP so they know how many steals they can make with their remaining picks.

Just finished The World Wars series on History Channel. Awesome stuff. I learned a TON about WWI and WWII that I never learned in school, or at least was not taught interestingly enough to remember. A coincidence that today happens to be the anniversary of D-Day too.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 01:24 PM) Lol relax. Not even close. I'm pretty sure he was kidding.

Well this isn't an encouraging quote from Rodon..... "Q. Going to get a deal done with Sox? Your sense and feeling. A. I’m not really sure. That’s later down the road. In a month or so we’ll figure that out but I’m still trying to enjoy this moment, spend time with my family and enjoy the whole thing and let it sink in."

Just superficially looking at Brett Austin's twitter, he doesn't appear to be good friends with Rodon. He tweeted yesterday how happy he was for Trea Turner getting drafted and that he deserved it, but he never tweeted a single thing about Rodon. And just skimming through his pictures, he's never posted a picture with, or tagged Rodon in anything. It's always Turner and a few other NC State teammates. PTI - Private Twitter Investigator.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) Is it possible she just retweeted a bunch of Sox tweets last night, and they retroactively got inserted into her timeline? Nah, I went through her pics and she has pictures of alerts from the Sox games all year long.

f***, the Nationals stole Reetz.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:29 PM) Dan Hayes ‏@DanHayesCSN 1m Carlos Rodon's knowledge of current #WhiteSox roster was impressive -- mentioned Abreu, Eaton, Sale, Quintana, Flowers. Probably because his girlfriend is a big baseball fan, and her favorite team appears to be the White Sox. I'm sure he's watched some games with her.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:09 PM) His girlfiend... https://twitter.com/keelyjolene She appears to be a White Sox fan too, even before the draft started.

Booooooo. No Jakson Reetz!

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:44 AM) Yeah looks like I will have to wait a couple days.. Do you use a slider set? I adjust sliders on my own, so no, I don't use a slider set.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:40 AM) With the new draft picks I am going to start my franchise over again in MLB The Show.. If anyone finds a good Rodon in the vault let me know! Yeah, I haven't started my offline franchise yet, so hopefully I can find a version with at least a couple rounds of draft picks included.
