August 6, 200817 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 09:46 AM) I think Beckham might be waiting for the other guys to sign, especially since it's guys who are looking for huge deals. I'm not too concerned about Beckham not signing. Remember this...if for some reason he doesn't sign, we get the 8th pick compensation again. Danks is the one that I really want us to sign considering we'll get the compensatory pick if Beckham goes back to college.
August 7, 200817 yr The only problem is that the talenet level in next year's draft is supposed to be significantly lower. But Alvarez may be back there as well. I think that Beckham will sign, they are just waiting for other people to sign to gauge what they should be getting a their slot.
August 7, 200817 yr latest updates on draft pick signings. really not a whole lot of new info here on beckham http://draft.mlblogs.com/archives/2008/08/...aft_update.html
August 7, 200817 yr Both Beckham and Danks will sign, they are two very high priorities for this org. They are waiting until a week or so. Dont fret.
August 13, 200817 yr Rumors posted by other members here at SoxTalk suggest that Beckham is on the verge of signing and the two sides have come to an agreement... just thought I'd throw it in the signings thread.
August 13, 200817 yr Yes now lets get Danks signed and the draft will be good not withstanding KW Jr! Edited August 13, 200817 yr by Soxfest
August 14, 200817 yr QUOTE (Soxfest @ Aug 13, 2008 -> 03:07 PM) Yes now lets get Danks signed and the draft will be good not withstanding KW Jr! No, it will just be a good draft. Edited August 14, 200817 yr by witesoxfan
August 14, 200817 yr QUOTE (bighurt4life @ Aug 14, 2008 -> 05:09 AM) Anybody know what the slot recommendation was for Beckham? Slot is estimated at $2,230,000 for the no. 8 pick.
August 14, 200817 yr So with a day to go, the highest unsigned pick that we have is our 10th rounder. Really the only real impact signing we missed out on was Long. All in all not a bad draft at all. It will be fun to see these guys move through the system.
August 16, 200817 yr Leesman signed according to BA's list. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draftdb/200...m.php?team=1026
August 16, 200817 yr I must say the Sox did a pretty darn good job of locking up their draft picks this year, signing their top 13 and 17 of the top 20.
August 16, 200817 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 16, 2008 -> 01:00 AM) Leesman signed according to BA's list. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draftdb/200...m.php?team=1026 Yep, he's with Bristol now.
August 16, 200817 yr Powerhouse 6th round pick Kenny Williams Jr. hasn't played in 6 weeks. Must have strained his vag.
