Glass is unsigned as well. Dalquist, Freeman and Glass are all signing. The others will not.

The authors actually made me empathize with Trevor Bauer

You just need to go play shortstop!

How do you figure? There are multiple $4 and $5 million signings.

They've done that before and gotten solid guys. Mieses, Comas, Sosa etc.

It doesn't work this way. They knew what the price tag was when they drafted the player.

If the Sox give Vaughn the full slot amount, they should have about $2.2 million left to sign Dalquist and Glass.

I wonder if they missed out on guys during this period over the uncertainty of which class Robert would be in. These guys agree to deals at 13 or 14 years old usually.

Yeah they're signing him. Curious to see where the rest of the money goes and to hear what they see in the development of the bat.

The White Sox 2016 class is pretty promising and there are some interesting guys (Jose Rodriguez) in the AZL from the last couple years. Allocating resources in this manner is a bit puzzling but they must see something in the bat of Sanchez. They saw him a lot since he was teammates with Robert.

I disagree completely. I think he was going to stick at 3B without the injury.

Burger was a fine selection where he was taken. I would have gone with a prep most likely but he was absolutely in that range. Some ridiculousness in this thread.

Our Sean Williams checked out some AZL action this week and wrote about it: http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2019/06/observations-from-week-1-of-the-azl-white-sox/

Mendoza and Abbott are both at Great Falls

No reason to be concerned.

I'm not sure why it matters and how it pertains to Vaughn but this is what I know: Andrew Dalquist doesn't graduate high school until next week and can't sign until then. He's significantly overslot. 22nd rounder Logan Glass is waiting to sign but he's signing. They can't do it until the top 3 are officially signed. I've heard they have agreements with all 4 though. Not sure what the holdup is

We have a guy named Sean Williams covering many of the AZL games.

8th rounder Ivan Gonzalez is there at catcher as well. Also Harold Diaz on the infield. Freeman and Peralta are still playing in college. Avery Weems, Tyson Messer, Cooper Bradford, McKInley Moore, Jeremiah Burke, Trey Jeans are some others on pitching staff

Of course not. It's the White Sox. I pieced together much of it though.

Doesn't AZL start tonight too?

I would trade for Zack Greinke and sign Alex Wood as a free agent. This probably moves Lopez to the bullpen which they won't do but this would be my move. 1. Greinke 2. Giolito 3. Wood 4. Kopech 5. Cease

It seems as if the Sox want the 11th rounder Torres to get lots of time in AZL and their 8th rounder from West Virginia will head there as well.
