QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:36 PM) +1 Would love for that to happen. Wouldn't impact the draft pool as much then. So much depth in this class, hope the Sox can take advantage of it.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:34 PM) Yeah that would take some talk. Word is the org really sells their heath track record hard (and well) in talks so that could help. Good to know. Thanks.

QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) It's Rick's show all the way. Kopech Flaherty Weaver I LOVE Kopech. That delivery is atypical with some deception. Would be absolutely stoked with him. Weaver is great too. Do they really have the money for Flaherty though? Supposedly looking for 2 million.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) I am in this camp too. I always liked Nola and feel he had been underrated all throughout the draft process. Same. Will be tough since I despise the Phillies though.

For the most part, Boras draft clients take right up to the signing deadline. Hopefully Hahn expedites the process and for less money then we think.

Aww. I really wanted Medeiros. Though didn't expect him to last.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:12 PM) Gotta imagine we go bat, likely college at 44, don't we? They need to go BPA still. Though they might be looking at the few talented college seniors in order to save money to pay Rodon.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:00 PM) I am guessing the Blue Jays go for Touissant here and then Hoffman at #11. Hell of a tandem they could get there. I hear they were deep on Pentecost though.

Freeland was another one of my favorites. Hope he turns out great. Very Sale-esque.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:47 PM) Luke Weaver please. Would love it if we have financial flexibility. The next few picks could be pretty telling.

Lol. The Mariners aren't even announcing him as a catcher. I'd give him every chance to stick their.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:43 PM) Not if we draft him before them We won't have the money unless Hahn is a wizard and gets Rodon to sign for less than slot.

I don't like the Schwarber tons, but sounds like the Cubs are going after Flaherty next. Legit prep arm.

Really interesting next couple of picks. Might indicate what the Sox know about his demands. College senior next? Stinnett maybe? Fan of his.

I don't like this pick for the Cubs at all. I get the point of saving money for later, but not huge on that player.

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 1m If White Sox take Rodon, I would expect him to pitch with the team at some point this year out of the bullpen a la Sale Expand

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan 2m Carlos Rodon was the absolute unquestioned No. 1 overall pick coming into the season. He still wants 1-1 money. This could get fascinating.

Do we really need spoiler tags for this?

Wow. People are going to be upset if isn't taken by the Sox.

Sounds like Aiken is going 1-1 according to everyone in the know.

QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:01 PM) You know if the Sox take Nola that the Cubs will take Kolek. If he ends up being an ace it will be awfully tough watching him pitch on the North side. Supposedly Cubs aren't in on Kolek at all. He would fall significantly.

QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:51 PM) Isn't that only for small market teams? Not based on team performance? Theoretically yes. But Detroit received one last year for some reason.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:47 PM) Hope that is wrong. I'm pretty okay with it.

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba 39s Hearing more Aaron Nola than Tyler Kolek at 3 to CWS at this time, change from previous mocks #mlbdraft from Secaucus, NJ Expand
