NorthSideSox72 Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 01:31 PM) Don't you also have to account for the likely correlation between draft slot and amount spent, beyond just looking at the total # of picks? I suppose, but I like making fun of the Cubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 18, 2010 -> 03:05 PM) When is it next up for renegotiation? In terms of draft slotting, MLB isn't the league with the worst problem and I know that the league with the worst problem is liable to start its lockout shortly after this year's Super Bowl, so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out before baseball's CBA comes up. By that time, it's possible that MLB could have the most unlimited/troublesome draft contract system. I'd love to see the playing field completely leveled here and see a world wide draft, trading of draft picks, and hard caps on the slots.

Springfield Soxfan Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I know we have been critical of the lack of Sox signings, but it sure looks like at this point getting Sale was a steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Seriously...can we let Sale start a game or two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's struggled enough with his control already. Let him work on controlling everything in the AFL and ST next year and maybe, just maybe, we can think that we are 6 deep in starters coming into next year, although that'd still be pushing it.

He is also pushing up against his innings limit this year. He won't be starting any games this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't be starting any games this season. I think he actually will be...but in the AFL. He pitched some extra innings last year in the Cape Cod league, so his total innings number still has a way to go this year. I just don't want him beaten up by MLB hitters yet.
