Chicago White Sox

Sox take the lead!!

Definitely takes away the need to do a big, drawn out draft production like this. And I enjoy all the commentary, but don’t need nearly as much time between picks if none of the players are there.

The one thing this draft definitely needed was break dancers

Need runs ASAP

It’s just moving too slow.

Romo fucking sucks

Update on Pereira per Fegan:

Great news for us with abundance of bonus pool & picks

Let’s assume $1.3M savings with Roch. We have $1M from the 5% overage and roughly $0.4M of potential savings if we go seniors with our 9th & 10th round selections. That’s $2.7M of additional dollars to work with on top of slot. Here’s what I want to see with the next four picks today: 01) #034 - Joey Volchko ($2.5M | -$0.4M) 02) #041 - Jack Slightom ($2.3M | +$0.0M) 03) #077 - Landon Thome ($2.3M | +$1.2M) 04) #105 - Joseph Contreras ($2.3M | +$1.6M) Would still allow us to grab a prep in the 5th for $1M.

Anyone know the time per pick? Trying figure out when the Sox will be making their next two picks.

Perez is really bad and it shouldn’t be surprising based on his AAA K rate. It’s just unfortunate both Hays & Pereira are hurt.

Acuna might be a useful bench piece after all and I am happy to be wrong about that

Wow…interested to see the bonus amount.

they should take Lombard and accept a full rebuild. And then give us Detmers for William Bergolla & filler 😁

Extend this man!!

Where you seeing this?

Oh gotcha…I lean they go Sam in LF & Chase at 2B until someone better comes along. Baldwin likely a true utility guy if he even makes the roster.

I think Bonemer is your future LF.

Will things pick up faster after the first 10 picks? 10 minutes per pick is a fucking slog.

This is also true and I love it. We lived through Kris Bryant playing both 3B and the OF and Cubs fan never complained.

I actually thought Brooks Baldwin would end up our CF and was devastated when it was announced he would miss the season. Now we have an All Star CF in Peters and a super interesting guy in Brooks who will struggle to find everyday at-bats. Another awesome problem to have.

Janish made it seem like he’ll get some OF reps at some point in the near future

Keep this garbage out of this thread…thanks!

That’s true, but also why Lackey was being rumored as an option until the very end.

He’s really good at both spots. Candidly, I think he’s not as good of a defensive SS as OAA suggests (but still really good). As such, I much more open with moving him to 3B. I do hate moving Vargas off of 3B though, but ultimately a great problem to have.
