December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (EvilJester99 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:31 AM) JJ CooperVerified account @jjcoop36 5s6 seconds ago More White Sox take C Yermin Mercedes. Man can hit. Had a breakout year in 2016 but questions about his glove. Catching depth is certainly not a bad thing. He likely gets placed in AAA?
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:33 AM) All sports drafts should move this quick. Love the Rule 5 pace. If this was the NFL we'd still be on pick 8 or 9 in the 1st round for sure..
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (TheTruth05 @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:33 AM) All sports drafts should move this quick. Love the Rule 5 pace. It was pure heaven when the MLB draft moved at this speed with the conference call then they went and f***ed it up.

December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:35 AM) It was pure heaven when the MLB draft moved at this speed with the conference call then they went and f***ed it up. I don't mind the first night TV show. First round and sandwich picks, although it should be a little faster that night too. The rest of the draft should be knocked out fast like this on the second day. Three days is stupid.
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:41 AM) Rangers get Tocci for cash That's terrible unless were also buying Burdi
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) That's terrible unless were also buying Burdi Agreed. Wtf.
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:26 AM) But Guerrero's FIP in AA. I’ll fully admit I was wrong on this and happy that I was
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Tony @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:44 AM) Probably cash for Machado.... Tocci to Texas for the infamous cash considerations? That is what Hahn meant when saying "We plan to be active in the rule five draft"?!!?
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) That's terrible unless were also buying Burdi Or maybe Burdi was only guy they wanted and missed out
December 14, 20178 yr James Fegan @JRFegan 38s39 seconds ago More Hahn said Sox had two Rule 5 targets. One got taken before their slot, second one needed surgery
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 08:42 AM) That's terrible unless were also buying Burdi It was a little weird the Sox took an OF. They have plenty of those types for 2018. I am a bit shocked the organization that made us watch Dylan Covey, didn't draft a couple of these other pitchers with a wide open bullpen.

December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:17 AM) GarPax would sell this pick. Build up some capital with/for ownership. And it looks like we have a winner!
December 14, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Dec 14, 2017 -> 09:47 AM) I'm convinced Hahn has been kidnapped and someone else has taken over last 24 hours With our bullpen in shambles I'm surprised we didn't roll the dice on an arm we can test out. To end up with a minor league catcher and cash doesn't seem all that great. Hell, roll the dice on Burch Smith as a potential starter/bullpen arm? Edited December 14, 20178 yr by steveno89
December 14, 20178 yr So which 2 wins last season do we blame for not getting Burdi? Picking an OFer to trade for cash to an AL team with a wide open bullpen and a few bech spots open as well? Can anyone explain this logically? What am I missing?

Yeah definitely concerned about losing to prop up our rule 5 position give me a break.
