QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 09:28 PM) I just tweeted that exact question. Hopefully the 400 is correct. Yea. He DMed me and said 400.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 47s Typo on Lowry, should be $400k. Fingers too fast or too tired. Will resend. #mlbdraft #WhiteSox Expand

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 13, 2013 -> 09:22 PM) Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 10m #WhiteSox ink 5th-rder Thaddius Lowry for $500k. Texas HS RHP, former C, up to 96 & mid-80s slider early in spring. #mlbdraft $190,800 over slot. The BA draft database actually says $400,000 as the bonus. Maybe Callis will clarify.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 13m #WhiteSox ink 4th-rder Andrew Mitchell for $413k. TCU RHP, one of best curves among collegians, up to 98 as RP, steal in 4th. #mlbdraft Right at slot value.

Seems Dykstra has signed as well according to BA's draft database.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 04:54 PM) Puts us up about $310k now, without factoring in the extra $260k-ish we could go over before penalties kicked in. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draftdb/201...m.php?team=1026

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisBA 6m #White Sox, 3rd-rder Jacob May agree to $525k. Coastal Carolina OF was one of faster players in #mlbdraft, good CF range, switch-hitter. About 50K under slot.

QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 12:53 PM) Trey Michalczewski ‏@T_Michalczewski 3m It's official!! Can't wait to start my professional career! #whitesoxnation Nice. Bravo White Sox.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 12:48 PM) I'm not defending Flowers play and I'll be the first to admit I was wrong about him thus far. With that said, am I right in thinking some of the backlash is in who he's replacing? That's certainly part of it. It's evident by a few repeat offenders who love to bump this thread.

QUOTE (The Ultimate Champion @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 02:42 PM) The Dodgers like to make Playstation trades anyway, so forget Ethier because we don't want him anyway. Alexei + Crain + Keppinger + Dunn for Dee Gordon + Juan Uribe Uribe's in the last year of his deal & would replace Keppinger's bad contract, he'd be our UT guy again and clubhouse guy until someone offered to take on part of his remaining deal. Gordon gets plugged in now & we see what he has, so basically Alexei and Crain buy out Dunn's deal and all the money we owe to Keppinger. The Sox get more payroll room and can now start shopping Reed heavily in search of a starting position player. For the Dodgers, Crain is League insurance and bullpen depth, Alexei makes them a s***load better, Keppinger is their UT guy, and they just release Dunn simply because it is easier to take on a player's contract & eat the money, and I doubt MLB offices would approve LA sending us $25M or whatever it is that would be left on Dunn's deal. For the Dodgers their chances go way up & they really give up nothing. Awful.

Add a Hawkins double.

De Aza is brutal in the field.

Sicnarf Loopstock is a pretty f***ing awesome name.

There goes Brentz.

Ooh Plutko to the Indians. I like him.

BA BPA for Day 3: http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/best-...y-three-begins/

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 8, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) Is the consensus that Mitchell will be a power reliever? In all, I'm content with the draft so far. I'd imagine they let him start initially. Always has the fallback option of the pen. Unless they want to go the Addison Reed right to the majors route. I'm also moderately intrigued by the Freudenberg pick.

Day 3 will be moderately interesting for some of the signability selections that arise from potential leftover cap money.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to post much being at work and all yesterday, but pretty happy with some of the Day 2 selections. Not a big fan of the Jacob May pick. Andrew Mitchell was a steal and great value as a 4th round pick. Really high on him. Thadduis Lowry is an intriguing pick, happy with him. Love the Trey Michalczewski selection. Hope he signs. The rest of the picks aren't all that interesting. Some likely easy underslot signs there though. Should allow money reallocation to Michalczewski and some picks we see today on day 3.

Ouch.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 08:34 PM) Best game of the year for Beck? I'd wager so. First one I recall with a significant amount of K's.

I see Beck with some strikeouts tonight. Moar plz.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 10:40 AM) The way he throws screams shoulder injury. Anterior capsule, subscapularis or labrum most likely. Not a fan of guys who don't have the good trunk flexion and follow through. The are reports he is very willing to change arm slot and accompanying mechanics if so desired by the drafting team. Maybe the Sox plan to clean it up.
