September 30, 201213 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/reversestandings2012 Alright, time to start rooting for losses. We have 83 wins (3 games left), Milwaukee has 81 wins (3 games left), and Arizona has 80 wins (4 games left). We currently sit with the 18th pick. We would own the tigerbreaker vs. both the Brewers and the Dbacks. So best case scenario we can get down to #16 in the draft order. Let's go Cleveland, Arizona, and Milwaukee!
September 30, 201213 yr The saving grace is that next years draft is supposed to be one of the weakest in memory.

With the new rules, this is much less true than it was. The new rules really helped out the Sox, and the 2012 draft seemed to show it.
October 3, 201213 yr Author Spots 17-19 are still within range for the Sox. 17 - Milwaukee - 82 wins (2 games left) (Sox win tiebreaker) 18 - White Sox - 84 wins (2 games left) 19 - Dodgers - 85 wins (2 games left) (Sox win tiebreaker) All we can root for now is 2 more Sox loses, and 2 more Milwaukee wins, or 1 more Dodger win.
October 3, 201213 yr Author Sox lost, and Dodgers won, so we secure the 18th spot at the very least. Now the last thing is for Milwaukee to win tomorrow, and Chris Sale and the Sox to lose tomorrow. We'd lock in to 17th spot if that happens.

There's no reason to throw a guy who will either be traded or let go, and there's definitely no reason to throw a guy who you've been conservative with regards to innings all year.

I'm calling Kenny right now.

If the Brewers win and the Sox lose today, the Sox draft at 16. If not, 17 is locked in. Hey look, a middle of the pack team. Edited October 3, 201213 yr by flavum

October 4, 201213 yr Author Welp, Sox went and f'd it up by winning 2 of 3 meaningless games. 18th spot it is.
October 4, 201213 yr In any draft there is only a marginal difference between the talent available at 16 and that available at 18. Next years draft is supposed to be pretty weak FWIW.

October 4, 201213 yr QUOTE (Dizzy Sox @ Oct 4, 2012 -> 12:01 AM) last time we picked 18th...Josh Fields. Ugh. That's what happens when you pick athletes instead of baseball players.
