June 11, 200421 yr don't know if this has been posted but they signed their sandwich picks and some other ones. White Sox announce draft signings
June 11, 200421 yr Nope -- that's brand new news. Or at least it's official now. The Gonzalez pick looks like a great one now that he's signed.
June 11, 200421 yr WOW. That is practically their entire draft slate minus a few guys. BTW from the rumors floating around, the Sox and Fields are close and they are also throwing the enticement of sending Josh straight to Winston Salem if he signs quickly.
June 12, 200421 yr I've never seen that many agree to sign so quickly. Thats awesome. Gives us alot of time to focus on the other players we really want to sign. Normally we are lucky to sign 20-25 a year.
June 12, 200421 yr Here is the list. Lets see if I can do this html thing [pre]Rnd. Name Pos. Age Ht. Wt.

June 12, 200421 yr If you are wanting to post something exactly from another site you can use the " " tag to make it post exactly, or atleast that should work. hmm, I just copied and pasted it from the chisox site and it worked. What HTML tags does this site use? () or or is it automaticly generated?
June 12, 200421 yr You have to add the UBB code *dohtml* tag... Replace the "*" with "[" and "]" Just like all other UBB tags, you should have an opening and closing tags. [tagname] [/tagname]... to place html into a post, replace "tagname" with "dohtml" and paste html portion between the tags.
June 12, 200421 yr So basically I'm just replacing with *dohtml*, * being []? yep. and being [/dohtml]
June 12, 200421 yr It will be interesting to see where Lumsden and him report. I've heard they will be in Kanny, but I've also heard they could start at Great Falls with a later season promotion. However, with Lamura being promoted to Birmingham, their is an even greater need for WS to get some pitching from Kanny. I got a feeling both will be starting their careers in Kanny. Here's the link to FS's article on the signings. Not too in depth. Tomorrow were going to begin work on the entire draft review http://www.futuresox.com/modules.php?op=mo...article&sid=435
June 12, 200421 yr Sweet - Gio Gonzo is officially a Lil' Sock! Getting Sweeney and Gonzo have been big steals and to get them signed is even better. Looks like another good draft this yearm with our main aim's accomoplished. We got an impact player early in a position of need in Fields, and we restocked our farm system in pitching which is what we needed to do.
June 12, 200421 yr Tomorrow were going to begin work on the entire draft review Hell yeah! Ya'lls draft review last year was awesome! I can't wait for this years! Oh, and by the way, are ya'll gonna rate our top 50 prospects this year like you did last year?
June 12, 200421 yr Signing Gonzalez and Allen was big. Those two were the biggest question marks IMO(of the top 10 picks). Now if the Sox can get Fields, Lucy, Russel, and Riggs signed(the only other picks that I REALLY want to see signed), than I will be very happy.
June 12, 200421 yr Hell yeah! Ya'lls draft review last year was awesome! I can't wait for this years! Oh, and by the way, are ya'll gonna rate our top 50 prospects this year like you did last year? That was awesome last year.
June 12, 200421 yr Oh, and by the way, are ya'll gonna rate our top 50 prospects this year like you did last year? Yeah. The plan was to get it out earlier, but we had some delays and Jason basically became a lazy bum. Well ok, I lied, he already was a lazy bum. He just showed it in this case. I found the stats on a bunch of the guys and took care of the formatting and cerb and others that I can't remember (sorry guys) did write ups on the guys. Basically it was almost done and then by the time Jason was going to get around to posting it, the rankings were not updated and a lot of the write ups were out of date. We should get it going after the draft because that postponed updating the top 50.
June 12, 200421 yr Hell yeah! Ya'lls draft review last year was awesome! I can't wait for this years! Oh, and by the way, are ya'll gonna rate our top 50 prospects this year like you did last year? Most definately. The top 50 won't be done until after the draft preview, but I expect it to be done in the 2nd half of the season Thanks for the kind words
June 12, 200421 yr Awesome! I can't wait till the top 50 is out. By the way, I just noticed that it's dan the man's b-day. Happy birthday!
June 12, 200421 yr Awesome! I can't wait till the top 50 is out. By the way, I just noticed that it's dan the man's b-day. Happy birthday! Thanks. I share it with Ricardo Nanita. Watch him hit a couple HRs today.
June 12, 200421 yr Thanks. I share it with Ricardo Nanita. Watch him hit a couple HRs today. Actually, I think that he might have gotten hurt last night. I'm not positive, but he came out of the game after only 1 at-bat. So, that makes me think he got hurt.
June 12, 200421 yr Happy Bday Dan the Man. I talked to you on AIM earlier and didn't realize it was the big day. Hope you have an awesome birthday and let the mighty Titans your routing for pick up their 1st win tonight against Tulane. Have an awesome one
June 13, 200421 yr Actually, I think that he might have gotten hurt last night. I'm not positive, but he came out of the game after only 1 at-bat. So, that makes me think he got hurt. Nevermind, he's not hurt. He played tonight and had a good game.
