But maybe the Sox can rehabilitate the image a little before the draft to ease the awkwardnessTwo months isn't much time to rehabilitate this franchise's image. Sure, they're playing better now but there's still a long way to go to move the needle on this team's image. But that being said, he's NOT going to refuse to sign.

Who they draft sure, but it’s never about money.

I mean...why wouldn't he sign with the team that drafts him #1 and will pay him like a #1!Because Bob Nightengale was on The Score recently and claimed that another team may offer him $14m and the White Sox would lose out on him because they wouldn't offer him that much. It shows how unserious and stupid Bob Nightengale is regarding the MLB draft.

3 hours ago3 hr Who is the last top 3 college position prospect who actually went out and panned out. Looking back the last 5 years I don't see any top end college position prospect who hit (ie top 3 ranked). I may be missing someone? Baz / Cags are maybe the best of the bunch.
