June 7, 20187 yr I wonder if there are more interesting guys throughout the system than usual has led to us picking this many HS kids vs org filling college guys. The other explanation is we're trying to establish relationship and get them acquainted with our organization to help with future negotiations. But I honestly haven't seen that leading to anything in the past.
June 8, 20187 yr Author 11 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Any word on if Heuer went underslot? Heuer is the only one who has said he agreed to sign, so no.
June 8, 20187 yr 19 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Any word on if Heuer went underslot? I would imagine he is. They've signed their top 15 picks since 2012 and I'm expecting everyone to sign this year as well. They had to save somewhere.
June 8, 20187 yr He has a Sox logo in his picture so he's signing as well. Curious to see the $$ on that one.
June 8, 20187 yr Jason Bilous is signing as well: https://www.wdel.com/sports/caravel-alum-bilous-ready-to-build-his-pro-baseball-career/article_00e2c856-6a09-11e8-a390-e77eb7ea4e95.html
June 8, 20187 yr 13 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: Seems as if 16th rd catcher Tyrus Greene signing as well I think he could be a sneaky good signing. He batted leadoff for most of the year and appears to be athletic enough to be a utility player when he isn't catching. He also has a weird swing that could probably be ironed out so he can drive the ball a little more.
June 9, 20187 yr FutureSox had some additional guys counted as signing: Round 15 Luke Schilling Round 21 Nick Johnson Round 26 Devon Perez Round 29 Taylor Varnell Round 32 Aaron Soto
June 9, 20187 yr Why do I think Lency Delgado is going to be a great prospect/signing? Especially since I have never seen him play and never heard of him until June 5th.

Sorry I don't have a link, but I did see a scout with a great track record of about eight major leaguers really went to bat for him. He came in a couple rounds earlier than ranking. Maybe a little savings?????
June 10, 20187 yr We are now up to 17 signed on the FutureSox Tracker. That's a combo of news reports, our own sourcing, and social media of the players.
June 10, 20187 yr It looks like Carranza is going to sign Also Davis Martin is still in the college playoffs, but it looks good for him signing because he has the tweet about being drafted pinned. Along those same lines of probably not enough to confirm, but at least there being an indication is Ryan Fitzpatrick who only has 23 tweets but 3 of them are related to being drafted by the Sox. Also, Kelvin Maldonado has a pic of him in Sox gear on his instagram. Finally, Bryce Bush probably isn't signing considering it looks like he subtweeted about his being pick with a tweet just saying "lol". So not only are we probably not signing him, you can probably count out a redraft too. I would think all of the HS guys from 33 to 40 aren't going to sign just from general patterns and checking their social media.
