Jace Fry. 91 on BA's board.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:11 PM) What's the deadline for picks to sign? My guess is the deal doesn't get done to the 11th hour. That's how about all Boras draft picks go. Right to the deadline.

QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) Don't hand the Cubs a guy on a silver platter . . . There is plenty of talent left despite who the Sox grab. Also, who cares? The Sox aren't drafting to stifle the Cubs.

No idea on signability, but would love Keaton McKinney if they go pitching again.

Any of the ESPN Insider articles have anything regarding the Sox first day? What about the Cubs? No idea what they are doing unless they grab Bakauskus/Nix today.

QUOTE (Eminor3rd @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 11:20 PM) And me. I was hoping for him at 44 even. I kept saying he would be around in the 3rd round! Would be just fine with him tomorrow.

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.
