Chicago White Sox

Really cool graphic on White Sox twitter:

I guarantee they have a very good sense of what Crotchet will cost. Might be more than what we think, but it shouldn’t be a surprise to the Sox.

Yup

No way Crotchet is over-slot IMO. I could see full slot, but even that would be somewhat surprising to me.

Good point.

True, but I’m good with Crotchet & Kelley and whatever UDFAs we can snag.

Possible, but I’m not overly optimistic after this 4th round selection.

He just had Tommy John surgery in May per Mayo.

Another punted pick.

Here we go...

Five picks away

After Madrigal and before Dunning / Stiever.

It's honestly a great question and I have no idea. That being said, the market for NFL UDFAs happens almost immediately so I'd probably assume the same here.

Yup, a little worried the big name teams will have an edge though which won't help us obviously.

Ray I like you man, but you do speak in absolutes a lot. It's not a big deal so I'd just let it go man.

Exactly, the math shakes out.

That's my understanding.

It was always likely they'd punt the 3rd pick after taking Kelley. I still have hope they pursue semi interesting guys in the 4th & 5th.

I believe that's @chitownsportsfan

The challenge is we’re not only top heavy but three of our top four prospects will likely lose their eligibility at some point this year. Adding these two arms and potentially Cespedes would really help offset those losses. Then it just comes down to some of the younger HS / LatAm kids stepping up in 2020. I don’t think top 5 is realistic anytime soon, but I also think we shifted away from a trajectory that had us heading towards to a bottom five system. Definitely very happy they are finally prioritizing younger talent and balancing out the system.

Who we liking in the 3rd? I think the Sox draft Wilcox just to fuck with Let Ray Ray Run.

Top five? No way, but obviously way better.

Some asshole scheduled a 4:30 meeting out of the blue, what did I miss?

Thought the Pirates took Kelley for a second.

My guess of what will happen as well.
