QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 03:24 PM) Yeah, also Mississippi high school player of the year. He had a miserable year this year but seems he was once quite the prospect. As a mentioned before, quite the nice flyer to take but he could also end up going back to school. I asked Kiley McDaniel about him on twitter. James Fox ‏@JamesFox917 9m @kileymcd Mason Robbins a worthwhile flyer this late for WhiteSox? Is he signable? Kiley McDaniel ‏@kileymcd 2m @JamesFox917 probably. 7th-10th round talent has bigger tools than that but hasn't been good last 2 years after hype out of HS.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 03:21 PM) Whoa, Mason Robbins was Kiley McDaniels(who gets a lot of play here) #6 college hitter in his May 2013 "2014 MLB Draft Preview". Here's Mason's swing in BP

The Bulls definitely have the most assets to offer. I don't think Love is the Bulls first choice though.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Jun 7, 2014 -> 02:22 PM) So just briefly reading about De Oca. I'd be shocked if he signed. He'll probably go to mizzou to up his draft stock. Unless we can talk him out of it because already had TJ once. I know the Sox will probably be tapped out after Rodon and Spencer but if I'm De Oca, I don't think pitching in college is the best move with 1 TJS already under my belt. He's really going to take the chance that he will be healthy for the next 3 years, pitching for free? F that. I'd go pro.

The pitching in the system is starting to look a lot better. Rodon, Adams, and Fry are great additions to Beck, Danish, and Montas. I like it.

Braves took Providence Catholic RHP Jake Godfrey in 21st round. He will be attending LSU.

Jon Heyman ‏@JonHeymanCBS 1m Kendrys Morales reached agreement with the #Twins

I can't believe Libertyville C Evan Skoug hasn't gotten drafted. I thought he'd go pro for sure.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:25 PM) Junior Okay. I thought he missed his junior year with TJ.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:21 PM) Slight overdraft, might sign for a little under, which you will likely see a number of today for the Sox. Isn't he a senior? He'll sign, no problem.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 11:29 AM) Okay so I am confused about the bonus rules here. Someone before posted that we have to offer 90% value of a given slot or we lose the pick. 1) Is this true? 2) If so, do we *have* to offer 90% slot value to the player we select with that pick, leaving the 10% sum for overslots? 3) If the above is not true, could we theoretically offer 10% slot value to the player we select, then offer 50% of the value to our #1 and the 40% remaining to our #2? So we can go up to but not over $100K on every pick from 11 on, and we also have an overage. So theoretically if we get enough underslot guys we can take BPA at #11 and use leftover pool money plus our overage, assuming we have pool money available? No you don't have to offer within 90%. The Sox 3rd rounder is slotted at like $700k. They could easily draft a HS senior in rd 3 and pay him $100,000.00 if they wanted.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 11:28 AM) Darius Day out of Simeon as well. He's a supreme athlete. He singlehandedly beat my team when he was a freshman. Stealing bases and running all over the outfield like a gazelle. I saw Godfrey pitch against my HS team and velocity/command deteriorated after the first two innings. Just one outing but I was really underwhelmed by him. Was it this year? Godfrey had a pretty down year. He did beat Sandburg yesterday however. He used to be a Notre Dame commit and is now committed to LSU. I think he'll go pro though.

A couple local guys to keep an eye on today: Providence Catholic RHP Jake Godfrey and Libertyville C Evan Skoug.

I don't really want to see Rodon on the big league roster this year. Give him a few minor league innings at Kanny and Winston Salem. I could see him starting next year at Birmingham and moving quick though. Is that unrealistic?

QUOTE (NCsoxfan @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 10:06 AM) Thoughts on Michael Cederoth for the upcoming pick? I would be fine with it if it's cheap. Fast moving college reliever.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 01:29 AM) The Sox can get 3/4 Dunn's production at 1/4 the cost and maybe better production just from Viciedo. There is zero chance Dunn is back. I'm not even saying Viciedo is anything special -- thing is, neither is Adam Dunn at this point. What, his bounce back year is 230/330/500? That's simply not worth what he'll want to get paid, and that's best case scenario as far as his production. They will not get close to the number of walks Dunn takes. It's about Dunn's ability to not make outs. He typically makes less outs than most guys on the team.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:47 PM) I heard it was a 50% chance we sign both of them, so I didn't know how to take that. If you don't sign him, you lose the slotted amount in the pool. That would leave the Sox pretty bare. They will sign him.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:42 PM) But what are the chances we actually sign him? I'd be shocked if they don't sign him.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) So what are the rules after Round 10? Is it back to the Wild West like under the old CBA, draft whoever you want wherever, throw all kinds of money at them? The slots go away but are there max amounts you can offer? Any pick over $100,000.00 counts against pool. Many teams though, draft some college seniors in the top 10 rounds for really cheap so that they can overdraft after round 10 using the pool money.

Spencer Adams is a great pick at #44. WOW.

Anybody interested in AJ Reed at #44? Power-hitting LH 1B.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 02:11 PM) I agree, I think if the Astros go Aiken I'm going to be a saaaad panda I'd much rather see Kolek as an ace for the Twins than the Cubs, because I at least respect the Twins organization & their fans are smarter. I completely disagree. The Twins are a division rival and the Cubs are not. Also, if he ends up being good for the Cubs, I would see him pitch more because he'd be on television more often locally.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 11:25 AM) Kolek? Jose Fernandez

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 12:07 AM) Why did that bother you so much? Have you heard other announcers not named Scully? They are horrific for the most part. Total homers for the team they work for. Hawk and Stoney were awesome telling it like it is last night when the Sox pissed away that game. Other crews don't go there. Hawk always points out s***ty play. The broadcast is a tough watch. They have one of the best analysts in the game but Hawk has to make the broadcast about himself. I learned last night that Alexei Ramirez is better than Troy Tulowitzki. Can't get s*** like that anywhere else. He's making fans dumber at this point.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jun 4, 2014 -> 06:52 AM) So, both Sox and Cubs are on CBS stations now For now. I think the writing is on the wall for the Sox to be elsewhere after 2015 with the Cubs going to 670.
