southsider2k5 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 07:54 AM) Great info, thanks, let's hope this is just posturing as there are still a number of picks for all clubs that remain unsigned. We were really on the Morgado watch last year at this time. Most of the time when we are waiting on these guys the Sox have made the right call, some of the names I remember Bobby Hill, John Zeringue, Jay Mattox, Tony Richie etc........However, I still want Grimes, never can have too much pitching. Jeff Weaver is the biggest one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Is it just me, or does he not sound like he is going with them... from facebook. Matthew Grimes these are some good times, so take a good look around. You may not know it now, but youre gonna miss this. Cant believe everybody is headed off to college next week!

I take it you are friends w/ him on Facebook? I see that it says "Georgia Tech '14" under his "schools network". And you can only add a school to your networks if you have a school email address. Now maybe he registered back in the spring and so he hasn't actually comitted to school yet, but that's a step towards college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 10, 2010 -> 10:41 AM) I wonder why a 41st rounder would have taken so long. He was a basketball player at UC Santa Barbara. I wonder if he worked out a 2 sport deal. The Sox probably see him as a big project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Fourth-round pick Matthew Grimes and eighth-round pick Josef Terry remain the two unsigned White Sox selections among their top 10 from the 2010 First-Year Player Draft. The team has until Aug. 16 to come to terms with the young men or they will re-enter the 2011 Draft. "I'm kind of cautiously optimistic on both of them, really," said White Sox director of amateur scouting Doug Laumann, in Chicago to finalize matters with the drop-dead date on Monday. "Both of them are satisfied with what we are trying to do for getting them done. "We've kind of gone to the wall with both as far as what we wanted to do. It's in their hands now."

Springfield Soxfan Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The Sox are not the last minute signing type of team, I don't think there is any chance that Grimes or Terry signs at the last minute, we waited for Morgado the same way last year. We have to accept the class that we have signed (I hope I'm wrong though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) According to this podcast, they think there is a "good chance this gets done" with Grimes. But he also said they have one big bullet to shoot, and it will either be Grimes or Terry, but not both. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/draft/?p=2742 Edited August 16, 2010 by JoeCoolMan24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish they would do something about this. The draft needs a bit of an overhaul. Really makes you like the Sale pick though. Quick sign, great stuff, already a MLB caliber pitcher.
