September 28, 201015 yr QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 27, 2010 -> 12:11 PM) The difference between 15 and 16 is a huge deal. The difference between 16 and 18 isn't a big deal whatsoever. It would have taken pretty much losing out the rest of the season for that to happen.
October 4, 201015 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Oct 3, 2010 -> 07:53 PM) The Sox will have the 20th pick in the 2011 Draft. They will have the 23rd pick. Loux (AZ), Whitson (SD), and Covey (MIL) did not sign last year. Edited October 4, 201015 yr by DirtySox
October 4, 201015 yr Ah, thanks for the correction. That sucks. I hope they find a way to slot these guys, and get them signed and playing a week after the draft again.

I hope they find a way to slot these guys, and get them signed and playing a week after the draft again. I had forgotten the three didn't sign as well until just recently. There is also the possibility of gaining up to 5 compensatory picks through the 1st, Supp, and 2nd rounds. Both PK and AJ are likely Type A's, and Putz is a Type B. Paulie and Putz are sure things with offering arbitration. AJ could probably go either way. Obviously, this is contingent on the subsequent offering of arbitration, declining by players, and then signing elsewhere. The thought of having 6 picks through those first three rounds is drool worthy. Especially in what is likely a very strong draft class. It could go a long way to rebuilding what is a terrible farm system.
October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 20, 2010 -> 12:58 AM) I don't want to see them lose, but I wouldn't mind a Top 15 pick at all. Screw the 89 wins or whatever, I want them to lose. In a lost season that means nothing anymore I want the best draft pick we can get.
