QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:33 PM) On csn right now, says white sox select Carlos Rondon. s*** won't go away anytime soon. Padilla's article switches between Rodon and Rondon throughout. Fun times.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 10:16 PM) So we got comparables of David Price and Clay Bucholz. I'll gladly take that. Comps suck. Especially for prep players.

Also, the hell are the Cubs doing? Saving more money with Stinnett obviously. Are they assuming the tough signs will be around in round 3 and on?

These first two picks are money. I love it so far.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) No Reetz? They just got the 23 talent on BA's board at 44. Awesome.

They did not reach at all. f***ing awesome pick. I'm stoked.

AWW YEA

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) The rumour is that Rodon's demand is $6m. That's only a couple hundred thou over the Sox slot. Mightn't need much savings. Mightn't need any at all if they get him at slot for a promise of a quick promotion. It's certainly what I'm hoping as there is plenty of talent still on the board.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) KC drafting a Catcher with Perez signed long term huh? I'm not sure he's a catcher long term. Either way, he's a long ways away.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) Now 9 players left on the Baseball America Top 500 that are ranked higher than the Sox pick, 3 picks to go: 19. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP 20. Monte Harrison, OF 21. Jacob Gatewood, SS 23. Spencer Adams, RHP 33. Jacob Bukauskas, RHP (signability issues) 36. Nick Burdi, RHP 40. Michael Gettys, OF 41. A.J. Reed, 1B 42. Joe Gatto, RHP Unless Reid-Foley, Harrison and Gatewood go in consecutive picks, the Sox will have the chance (bonuses obviously a factor) to get a BA Top 21 rank at 44. I'm guessing they go off the board for some Rodon savings.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I'm sure I already missed this discussion, but why hasn't Reid-Foley come off the board yet? I'm guessing his asking price at this point.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Adams, Foley, or Gatto would make me happy. No chance they take Baukauskas. Also if the Sox had any aptitude for fixing players swings, Gettys would be awesome. All the other tools are bonkers.

Adams, Foley, or Gatto would make me happy. No chance they take Baukauskas.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Other than the few I PM'ed. This was a hard secret to keep. Jeez. Hmm?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Anybody interested in AJ Reed at #44? Power-hitting LH 1B. Not high on him.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) Cardinals take Flaherty He be expensive.

f*** you Red Sox.

With the lack of college hitters in this class, kind of surprised Derek Fisher is still available.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) Man, we could get a choice of Gatewood, Gettys, Reetz, Davidson, or Burdi. I'd take any of those guys. Remember, signability needs to be taken into consideration with the Rodon selection. Not likely the Sox can go significantly overslot.

So which super toolsy raw athlete do the Rangers take? I'll guess Monte Harrison.

There goes Weaver. Cards will make him amazing. They do that.

Awww. Chavis to the BoSox. It seems teams I despise always take the players I like.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) Wish list for round 2? Is the closer from Florida St. any good? For me: Kopech Weaver Luis Ortiz Gatto

Pirates might have a surprise pick evidently.

Derek Hill to the Tigers? He is not their type! Where is the power armed reliever selection?! Nothing makes sense anymore.
