QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 01:15 PM) Dejong top catcher availble (if he stays there). I wanted him in round 4. McCarthy top college player available, also wanted him with the last pick. Hoping for one of these. That's if we stay the college route. Don't know much about the hsers. DeJong to ST. Louis.

Here's some video on Erwin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvzCf73ghUs

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 01:04 PM) Smells of Jace Fry Jace Fry is much better. Erwin is a projectable lefty. It's fine. Probably under slot.

Give me Mac Marshall here if he's signable.

Will Wakamatsu's kid sign? He's interesting.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:33 PM) the 2 main prep pitchers are there, Everett and justin long. but i like Thompson. 3b No chance the Sox can afford Everett at this point

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 10:26 AM) Ours is going to cost us only $46 million over the next four years. That won't even get you two years of Lester. Lester has identical numbers to our supposed #3 starter though over the past 3 seasons.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) with the needs of the sox, no way in the 4, but prob more like 8 or 9. LDF, Matuella has Boras as an advisor. What are they doing? How much could he possibly want? At this point there isn't much money available to them.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:32 AM) Depends on what we can save other places. Here are our slots Rd 1 $3,470,600 Rd 4 $508,000 Rd 5 $380,400 Rd 6 $284,800 Rd 7 $213,400 Rd 8 $174,800 Rd 9 $163,200 Rd 10 $152,300 Total $5,347,500 So what's the best way to do this? If they sign 4 college seniors for $10,000 each that leaves them $1,566, 900 for their other 3 picks. What can they push it to in order to not lose a pick?

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 09:10 AM) look at Mitchell Nau - catcher - Tx A+M George Iskenderian - if - Miami with kerian, he comes from a great program. and is a ss, i don't see the power for a 3b and i mean sustainable power. a sleeper i really like besides Thompson is Zander Wiel Vandy. Mitchell Nau would be great in round 4.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:42 AM) if these players get to round 4, for pitcher - Donny Everett, for positional - David Thompson Donny Everett is probably attending college at this point.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:41 PM) But at this rate, he's looking at risking not getting drafted all together if something happens next year at Duke He's in a very, very sticky situation. What is Boras doing? Not many teams can even realistically do it at this point?

Tammy (Chicago) If you're the White Sox, who are you hoping for at 8? Klaw (4:14 PM) I think they're hoping for Tate.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 01:03 PM) There's just something about the fact that he's not even starting in college that makes me afraid of him. I know the Sox can change a lot about his mechanics, but I'd feel much better if I at least had SOME evidence that the stuff works for multiple innings. Well they have thrown him for 3-4 inning saves at times. He's starting today. He's the best pitcher on their staff. Hartleb is a dope though and had his best pitcher relieving instead of starting.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:50 PM) All the lefties. Stone did say he thought Jay could be in a major league bullpen this season, and the Sox could use another lefty. Then have him work on getting stretched out this winter and go back to the minors. Probably need Brendan Rodgers to Colorado at 3 for Jay to fall.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:46 PM) I am guesses his sources begin and end with the Ex-head coach, much like happened with the White sox. You are right that he has done the same thing with the Bulls that he did with the Sox. Being overly PRO COACH and taking it so far that everything he says needs to be taken with a grain of salt. He has good info occasionally but the problem is that he isn't really objective at all and everyone knows which side he stands on.

I think they end up with Illinois LHP Tyler Jay

The Astros went under slot in 2012 and drafted Correa at #1, McCullers in the 2nd, and Preston Tucker in the 5th. Often a sound strategy if there are similar players at the top.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 11:37 AM) Law just posted his final mock draft for insiders. If anyone can see that and cares to post that. Greatly appreciated. He has the White Sox taking Fulmer with Jay on the board. Swanson at 1, Bregman at 2, Rodgers at 3. He has Texas going under slot with Trenton Clark, Houston taking Benintendi at 5, and Happ 6 to Boston. Jay 9th to the Cubs. http://insider.espn.go.com/mlb/draft/mock/...-Law-Mock-Draft

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:53 AM) \ And then I closed the article. I hate Cowley too. People are kidding themselves if they think he doesn't have sources though. He's not the only one to say that Noah and Taj are on the block.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:45 AM) Sox have not said a word about Benitendi, so that's who I predict. He doesn't really have "loud" tools though. The Sox just don't really value guys like Benintendi. Especially in the 1st round.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 11:10 AM) hmmm Sale, Q, Rodon, Jose A, and i am sure someone will look to Avi, I responded to this and didn't even notice the green font. haha my bad. They aren't rebuilding though, man. They will try to compete next year. They won't be trading any of those guys. I would be stunned if they traded Melky, LaRoche, Duke, or Robertson as well. Just doesn't really make sense. They want to compete; not rebuild.

QUOTE (LDF @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 10:40 AM) re the trade idea, yeah i am for that, if the offer is really good. i really hate to bring this up, but if the sox doesn't improve by what date should the sox start looking to trade the players on the major league team??? There's nobody on the major league team to trade. Ramirez and Samardzija would be about it.

http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/7/71/66...akim-noah-moved I hope they can move Noah.

After giving up what they gave up there are only 3 options with Shark. 1. Sign him to an extension. 2. Give him a QO, let him walk, and collect a 2016 1st rounder. 3. Trade him at the deadline and acquire young talent. There is no scenario in which it is acceptable to not offer a QO and let him leave without getting anything.
