September 2, 20196 yr Sox finish the week with the 9th pick position, half game better than the Pirates. Sox a have a few game cushion on the Reds at 10.
September 2, 20196 yr Author Mariners won, Pirates won (they're playing Colorado so it doesn't matter who wins really in that matchup)... Sox aren't far away at all from leapfrogging those teams. Reds are winning so far as well so Sox can put more distance from them too.
September 6, 20196 yr http://www.tankathon.com/mlb Looks like the Sox are 9th now. A sustained losing streak could take them as high as 6, but I don't think they're catching the top 5.
September 6, 20196 yr If the Indians fall back in the wildcard over the next 10 days, the Sox could have their last 22 games against teams that aren’t playing for anything. I’m just assuming they’ll go 14-8 for 76-86, and the 11-13th pick range.
September 6, 20196 yr I've read that 2020 draft is very deep. Will probably get a good prospect even at 13. Might be the time for a high school pick.
September 6, 20196 yr Just looked at some of the remaining schedules of the 8 to 14 teams. These three games with the Sox are the Angels last games against an under-.500 team. They’re toast. I think the Sox finish with a better record than the Pirates, Angels, Reds, and Padres and get the 12th pick. But if the Rangers and Giants tank too, it could be as low as 14th if the Sox go 14-8, with the easiest schedule by far.

September 12, 20196 yr Author Pirates won again. Sox officially a half game up on them for 8th. EDIT: damn you @flavum Edited September 12, 20196 yr by SoxAce
September 12, 20196 yr Being top 10 in the draft doesn't have any meaning anymore, correct? Or is it just less of a penalty? Edited September 12, 20196 yr by ron883
September 13, 20196 yr Ms series- Covey vs Kikuchi Cease vs Felix Nova vs Sheffield Combined runs for the series: A lot

For the White Sox, they would lose their "2nd highest pick" and $500K of INT'L money. If they sign another QO player, they lose their 3rd highest pick and another $500K of INT'L money.
September 17, 20196 yr Just going to remind everyone that there is a massive difference in slot money drafting 6th vs. 9th.
September 17, 20196 yr If they lose two spots because of one game, I’m blaming Gerrit Cole’s hamstring.

September 17, 20196 yr Author Mariners play a 3 game series against the Pirates tonight. Depending on how that series goes, Sox can put sone distance on the Pirates or catch the Mariners soon. Mariners also play the terrible Orioles after the Pirates series.
September 17, 20196 yr 1 hour ago, zisk said: Every once in a while you have to tank. People forget, a few of years under the Rick Hahn regime, the Sox got the 3rd pick in the draft, the 8th pick, and the 10th pick when they were trying to win. Tanking has only slightly moved the draft position needle,
