daa84 Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 2, 2009 -> 10:24 AM) Did Morgado sign? not yet i dont think....but I saw in the Cape cod league he struck out 13 in 5 innings of work....damn impressive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Based upon what I've heard, I'm not too sure that he's going to sign. Would suck because he's got a big time left handed arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I just asked on facebook if he plans on signing.... lets hope he replies back, but I doubt he will. Facebook is probably the least of his concerns right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSF Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 A comment from Trayce Thompson's brother in SI  LW: Your younger brother [Trayce] might be playing baseball at UCLA next year; do you like baseball's system -- either turn pro or play for at least three years in college -- better? KT: Trayce just got drafted -- in the second round by the White Sox -- and I think he's leaning towards signing [a pro contract]. I like the baseball system better than basketball's. I don't see why you have to go to college for one year, when kids are playing pro ball in Europe at 14 years old.  Hope he's right.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I heard Thompson's dad on The Score after the draft. He definitely wants to get his pro career started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Ok, this is my virgin post, so which of the other draft picks still remaining do you (we) think we will sign? Mogado, Thompson, Jones, Goodwin? How many is realistic? This is a great forum!! Thanks to everyone who keeps this active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 First off welcome aboard. I would hope we get Morgado, Thompson, and Jones signed. Thompson sounds promising and given he was a comp pick it would be a big mistake if we didn't get him signed (as we would not get another draft pick if he didn't sign). Â Morgado is a very high upside arm and again a high pick. Not the greatest production but I'd love to have him in here cause his stuff is impact stuff. Goodwin and Dane Williams (a guy you didn't list) are unlikely signing but it would be good if we got one of Jones/Goodwin/Williams and great if we got two, stellar if we got three.

danman31 Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Considering Morgado is in the Cape Cod League and tearing it up there, I'm beginning to think it would take above slot for him to sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â One would think so, but is he without a school, I thought he was being pushed out at U of Tenn along with some others. Maybe after he started pitching well UT had second thoughts. I thought he might be the easiest sign of all due to that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Sox Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) I thought Justin jones in the 8th round was one of our shrewder picks...hopefully we can get him as well as Thompson, Morgado, and the Williams/Goodwin longshots.

Seymizzle Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I got this from a Cape Cod blog  Bourne starter Bryan Morgado from the University of Tennessee, the White Sox' third-round pick who disappointed me the last time I saw him, had better stuff Friday but he struggled with his control. Morgado's fastball sat in the 90-92 mph range and a couple of times crept up to 94. This was an improvement from the 88-91 I saw a couple of weeks ago. One Major League scout said he saw Morgado touch 96 in a relief appearance earlier in his pitching career. Morgado's 78-80 mph slider was average and he threw a decent 78-81 mph changeup. Morgado walked six and hit a batter in five innings, but also struck out eight. He still knows how to pitch, and the increased velocity made him more impressive, but I'm still not sure he was worth a third-round pick. It seems the sox overdraft these high risk high reward guys just to sign them cheap. Carter and Hudson are good examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaseballNick Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Any update on Trayce Thompson? Mully and Hanley interviewed Mychael the day after the draft and he said that Trayce was very signable and couldn't wait to get started as a pro. I'm a little surprised he hasn't signed yet.

I don't think we'll hear much more about draft signings until close to the deadline, which will be August 17th this year since the 15th falls on a Saturday.

Dizzy Sox Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) There is a rumor going around another Sox board that Thompson is signed or will sign very shortly. Nothing to put much stock in, and don't shoot the messenger. The timing is curious and doesn't make a whole lot of sense if you ask me, but we'll see.

My cousin called me about 2-3 hours ago saying the same thing, though I thought he was bulls***ting. I didn't bother to post it, cause I didn't wanna follow a source that wasn't 100%. If my source (or anyone elses) is 100% or damn there close, I'd post it, and I would follow any other poster's recent rep. on it as well. I gotta say thanks for putting this, and I'm gonna call him right now. Jas, you also live in Cali. You hear anything about this? Â QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jul 23, 2009 -> 01:09 AM) If you are talking about WSI, that poster was right on with the Heidenreich signing. Â Welcome to ST DS!! And that's very good news, and looks like I owe my cousin mad props (who already doesn't need his ego inflated).. Mother f***er..
