ChiSoxJon Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Ton of top 200 guys left (although a fraction won't sign), where was Bush ranked last year? What HSers should we throw money at late or at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted June 5, 2019 Author Share Posted June 5, 2019 Not sure if he signs, but would like to take UNC RHSP Gianluca Dalatri at some point...broke a few of Matt Harvey's freshman records at UNC, but has been injury plagued (elbow, hip), should probably return to UNC for his SR year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 I think we go HS hitters with a couple of the first picks, so here is my list of guys I would want that are available and I think still have a chance to sign: Chris Newell Jaden Brown Bobby Zmarzlak Ethan Vecrumba Emmanuel Dean Henry Gargus Jordan Beck Mason Auer Kody Huff Myles Austin Jason Hodges Jasiah Dixon Vaughn Grisson Joshua Rivera Trey Faltine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tune in half an hour late you might miss 5 rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Day 3 is my favorite day to follow. Just turn it on in the background while I'm doing work and hear a bunch of "Pittsburgh Pirates select number 574921, redraft ..." Occasionally a name pops up that I'm familiar with and I listen closely to the Sox pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Middle Buffalo Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) Best late round picks in history. https://www.mlb.com/news/best-late-round-picks-in-draft-history Hopefully the Sox can find some guys like these today.

bmags Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Reminder that getting drafted players to the big leagues is a huge success in itself, and with that, day 3 has been pretty productive. Seby Zevala and Danny Mendick were both day 3 picks that are either up or look to be up (uh, maybe new september rules doesn't bring up danny). Aaron Bummer was day 3 as well.

DirtySox Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 (edited) BA Article up about teams with heavy senior signs yesterday. White Sox were one. I'm excited for today. Quote The White Sox were similarly aggressive in taking high-upside (and potentially expensive) high school players in the second and third rounds. After selecting California first baseman Andrew Vaughn with the third pick of the draft, Chicago selected high school righthander Matthew Thompson with its second-round pick, another prep righthander Andrew Dalquist in the third round and speedy high school outfielder James Beard in the fourth round. After that, the White Sox selected college seniors with their fifth- through 10th-round picks. It's likely that all three teams will be aggressive in selecting high-upside (and high-priced) high school players with large bonus demands on Day 3. In the case of the Marlins and White Sox, they likely have some money remaining to spend on them. For picks in rounds 11 and up, teams are able to spend up to $125,000 without it counting toward their pool allotment. Anything they spend above $125,000 does count toward the team's bonus allotment pool. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/which-teams-went-college-senior-heavy-on-day-2/ Edited June 5, 2019 by DirtySox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans should absolutely be excited. They went cheap senior heavy and should have some pool money remaining to play with here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Dalton Fowler looks like an interesting name. I suspect someone will nab him in round 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was his signing bonus back then. 500 bucks and a Greyhound Bus ticket? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenericUserName Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Chris Newell would be my dream pick, but with a UVA commitment he might be going to school. Bobby Zmarzlak or Mason Auer seem like more realistic possibilities. Jaden Brown would also be great and he could play short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
