Good work Chi Sox! I salute you today.

I think it's Chris Sale if he's still there. I would like it too.

I'm hoping Chris Sale might be around at 13. *Crosses Fingers*

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 06:28 PM) Mayo thinks Loux will go 6. This pleases me. The Sox can't draft him then.

Twitter FrankiePiliere: #Indians expected to take Drew Pomeranz 5th overall. Told I should take it to the bank

Eliu (Chicago): If Grandal falls to 13, do the White Sox take him with his recent demands rumors? Kevin Goldstein: No. They don't like overslot guys.

Piliere thinks Grandal goes to the Indians.

Frankie Piliere: Source on the Royals: "Think shortstop" Um ok, cryptic huh? ___________ Colon?

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: So, what now. A couple sources tell me it may not be Grandal to KC. Then i ask "probably Sale?" The answer is still no. Are we looking at Choice or Asher Wojciechowski? I think it's going to shock us

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: Hearing Bryce Brentz could end up in the last 5-6 picks of the first round

I have a feeling a few desirable players will slip in the range of the Sox, but they will end up bypassing them anyways.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 04:50 PM) No chance he gets past 5 Callis now has him slipping to the Cardinals.

Frankie Piliere: UPDATE: Grandal deal is in big trouble with KC. They thought they had a deal and KC doesn't seem too happy about them looking for more now.

Lots of crazy rumors going around. I highly recommend Piliere's chat. It is ongoing to the draft it seems. I expect a bunch of surprises tonight. http://mlb.fanhouse.com/2010/06/07/2010-ml...?sms_ss=twitter

Please tell me Barret Loux won't be the pick. Monday June 7, 2010 1:16 Alan 1:16 Frankie Piliere: I continue to hear Brentz. Wojciechowski and Kvasnicka also are options. That's my question. Kvasnicka, do not want. Maybe in a later round, certainly not at 13. I would prefer Brentz to Loux though, and I'm not high on Brentz at all.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 11:47 AM) Don't ever let people on this board talk you into thinking that meaningless wins at the end of the season are a good thing. No doubt. Picking 13 in this draft class kind of sucks. No-man's land as Laumann said.

QUOTE (Real @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 11:31 AM) No plus power/OBP left-handed hitters in the first round that can drop to our slot? Nope.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 11:03 AM) Sounds like something that would happen to us next year when we have a top 5 pick, and we'd end up taking a guy projected to go in the 20-30 range What doesn't make sense to me is the Sox reported interest in Grandal. There would be a large discrepancy in what Grandal would likely receive as a bonus over someone like Loux and Wojo. Are the Sox willing to loosen the purse strings for talent that falls? And does that apply to talent that falls to 2nd and 3rd round range?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 11:01 AM) It would seem that Grandal would then demand more money from KC, which could make them think of not drafting him. Sounds like some shady dealings by the agent. I'm concerned that Mayo and Callis, who are both at the draft, have the Sox taking Loux. Seems like there might be a leak in the Sox organization. With that said, interesting that Keith Law has Loux going 6th. Right, I understand the concept, but as you said that's shady dealings. I dislike it very much. While I'm not enamored with most the college arms available at 13, I wouldn't be upset with them. Loux is the exception. Yuck.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:58 AM) Why would Indians be going after Grandal when they already have Santana? Why are two teams bidding on a player that one team is entitled to draft due to a higher pick?

wtf?

QUOTE (chimpy2121 @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:41 AM) I'm hoping that Castellanos is still there when we're up. He very likely will be. I like him alot, but I would be extremely shocked if he was selected. Maybe if he's accidentally listed as a college pitcher we have a chance.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:24 AM) If the Royals don't draft Grandal, that'll be fun to watch tonight. Does anyone know if MLBN is still filming the Sox for The Club? I'd love to see the behind-the-scenes of all of this. I believe I read that they are indeed being filmed in tonight's war room for the show.
