LDF Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ May 23, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Board survey time....who is your wish list for the 3rd pick? Fathom's Sure To Be Wrong Wish List (I was against drafting Wacha and Trout, but loved the Beckham pick) 1. Rodon 2. Nola 3. Aiken ok I am falling in in line with the board opinions and pick Brady Aiken not there, i would go with Max Pentecost, for the savings of the slot money, for who might be at 44, 77 and 108. With the 44 pick, if hoffman is not there, Braxton Davidson, luke weaver, Joseph Gatto or Kodi Medeiros. those players can be justified for the second round, however, here is where my craziness come in. my wish pick would be cat - Chase Vallot, here is where some of the savings may come in and pay him over slot money to sign. with the third round, good players to pick, but plenty of question marks whether would they sign or go back to school. the most exciting 2 players i really like is p - Jake Cosart out of tx and cat - Taylor Gushue. both player are in college and coming into their own. oops i lied Taylor Gushue did the Bryce Harper thing and graduated early by 1/2 yr and enrolled into college where he immediately started and became a triple crown hitter, while doing really good work as a starting catcher. again used some of that money and sign 1 or them. I know some of my picks are cat, some may moved to outfield or dh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ May 24, 2014 -> 01:13 PM) Has he been moving up draft boards? I'm still hoping for one of Aiken or Rodon. The Cubs supposedly like him alot. Ideally, they'd love Rodon, but doubtful he gets to them. Theo wants to go underslot and then spend the big $ in the later rounds.

hi8is Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 1.) Rondon ( Highest ceiling with fastest track to the bigs. I don't buy the reliever projections. ) 2.) Aiken ( Best prep arm with 4 plus pitches. ) 3.) Jackson ( Best bat in the draft. Would rather take him than any other prep or second tier college arm. ) ** It should also be noted that the Hoffman injury changed things greatly. If he was healthy - I'd place him at number one on our board. For me, even with his injury, I'd still be considering him at number three. Very high on Hoffman. ** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'd be happy with any of the Aiken, Rodon, Kolek group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I'd have no problem putting Rodon in the MLB bullpen pretty quickly - takes load off arm, starts arb clock (Boras), valuable experience in controlled setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still believed the advisor can asked for the max and there by limiting the ability to sign the other drafted prospects. Rodon, Alex Jackson are 2 known prospects that have boras.

SoxnGiants Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Glad it looks like a great top 3 for pitchers. The more I see of Aiken the more I like (opposite for Rondon for some reason). I'd love to get a premier pitching talent and then come back with AJ Reed at 44 if he lasts. I like that lefty bat. Perhaps hoping Reed falls is a bit optimistic though.

IMHO Aiken and Kolek seem to have more upside. According to BA and MLB, Aiken seems to have more polish and upside than Rodon, and Kolek is the hardest thrower/pitcher than Rodon. Regardless that Rodon has Scott Boras as his agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 if Rodon is on the board, it's going to be very interesting to see what the Sox do, considering The Chairman long-time slobbering love affair with Boras. Wouldn't be one bit surprised to see the Sox pass, for that reason and because the kid did not have an extraordinary junior year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
