A lot of people were disappointed that Jones didn't sign, maybe it was the right move. What other former Sox draft picks were selected or eligible? Grimes, Gardeck etc.....?

Correa is going to sign for $5 million, more than $2 million under slot. Wow, huge steal for the Astros.

Wow, signability had to be the main reason for drafting him.

Gardeck went at pick 508 to the Giants..........

Another "boom and bust" athlete that we never had much chance of signing, Mr. Goodwin that went to UNC.

Doing well for Hagerstown in the SAL.

 

Once again, the Washington Nationals and Rizzo. $3 million signing bonus as a supplemental pick.

Gardeck went 16th round to SF (8th in 2011 by the Sox) and Grimes just completed his sophomore year at Georgia Tech.

 

Ben O'Shea (10th round in 2011) went to the Cards in the 35th this year.

Jones slipped from 7th to 26th.

Chadd Krist was a 13th rounder by the Sox last year and was taken in the 9th this year by the Cubs. He was a senior though so the Cubs may have wanted him as a signable guy in the top 10 rounds.

Matt Ginther went from 14th by the Sox last year to 24th.

Wow, truly appreciate the effort on this. This is great, thanks. Did not recall some of these names.

R.I.P.

What we can say after Major League Baseball wrapped up its first draft with spending limits is that the CBA seems to have worked almost exactly as Commissioner Bud Selig and some in ownership (including White Sox Chairman Jerry Reinsdorf) hoped it would.

 

Talent was spread around more evenly, as evidenced by the White Sox diving back into the deep end by taking high school players with their first two picks — something they hadn't done since 1984, in large part because they feared Boras or another agent would try to play a shot at college into super-sized bonus demands.

Poor guy, he should've never grabbed those high voltage cables...

Pirates drafted a guy named Zarley Zalewski. Is there a correlation with advanced athletes and parents who need attention? I think so.

 

And all these years I just assumed Zarley Zalapski was unique

So how do the draft guru's think we did? It seems for once most picks seem to have some higher ratings than the slots players went in, at least from a layman's point of view.

We drafted a Stevenson kid?!?!? New favorite person ever.

 

Seriously though, I'll do some digging and see if I can find out a little more about him.

New draft bits from CSN on some of the late round kids.

Why do you assume it's a token pick ? What's the scouting report?

 

 

And now the token pick from the White Sox Academy in Chicago: DeJohn Suber from Morgan Park HS.

Draft rules really help the Sox, nice to see some potential young position players drafted early for 1st time in many years. I hope Chris Beck will end up being a steal. Love the 1st round pick Courtney Hawkins but reached with Keon Barnum not real high on him.

And he appears to be a Sox fan. He has a profile photo from inside of USCF.

Fun video clip from the Hawkins pick, including a split screen of Kenny freaking out when he does the backflip, and then getting on the phone and telling Hawkins no more backflips.

That was a fun watch, thanks for digging that up.
