Really like Grant Holmes. Think he's a steal here.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) Worked out well with Giolito. Not knocking it at all. A feasible approach. They also drafted an injured Rendon.

Also, Nats love them some TJ.

Reds taking Nick Howard. He could be in the bullpen this year with a chance to start. This has to push Burdi to Detroit right?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Handsome Monica? Probably takes the award for weirdest, but definitely not better than Duke Newcomb or Touki Toussaint. Last year Stryker Trahan and Storm Throne were some pretty great ones. This year has a Maverick Buffo too. Pretty sick.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) Sean Newcomb would be the choice for best name if his parents named him Duke Newcomb instead. Touki Toussaint probably takes that award, at least on Day 1. Nope. There is a player in this class with the name "Handsome Monica." Can't touch that.

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?
