June 22, 20178 yr The Sox will sign everyone in the top 10 rounds. Heck, they will sign everyone in the top 33 rounds or so. I'll predict this though. Sox are under overall slot on signed guys by like 140k right now. The guys left for pool purposes are Henzman, McClure and Skoug. Skoug will be over slot, though maybe not by a ton. McClure is at least slot, might be over. And I don't think Henzman will be a lot under. That means the team likely goes over pool into penalty phase 1, like they did in 2014. I bet you'll see that happen.

June 22, 20178 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 04:26 PM) Southside vs Northside Who will be the winner. Dun dun duuuun lol, I'm not invested in either outcome. I just don't see the math working to get them all in under the line. But if they can, hey, great! They are all signing in any case.
June 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 05:23 PM) Yeah I think they'll definitely be over their pool. And I think that would be a great sign.
June 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) they can go over 4.99% of their pool with out a penalty right? I know that's how it used to be, not sure if it changed in the new CBA or not.
June 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (beautox @ Jun 22, 2017 -> 09:04 PM) they can go over 4.99% of their pool with out a penalty right? The first 5% is penalty, but minimal and only financial. If they go over by more than 10%, that's pick loss, and literally no team has done that (nor will they).

June 23, 20178 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 23, 2017 -> 10:39 AM) Which means Skoug should be in the fold in the next 24-48 hours too. Skoug is still in the CWS, he's playing and can't sign yet.
June 23, 20178 yr Also LSU is still playing too, so the Kiel report can't really be correct. MLB office would not allow it, nor would NCAA. They may have, indirectly and under the table, agreed to parameters.

June 26, 20178 yr With TCU and Louisville eliminated, Sox should have their guys signed by the end of the week. Not sure if they are going to have them take some time off before reporting as they did with Morrison and Remillard last year.
