June 9, 201411 yr Perhaps somewhat interesting to point out. Jarvis is now the 3rd guy from the Banditos Baseball Club they've signed in a row. Hawkins in 2012 and Thad Lowry last year, perhaps that might have something to do with him signing. Other Alums include Paul Goldshmidt, Nick Williams(#97 prospect by BA), Troy Patton(big league reliever), Jameson Tallion(#22), and Kohl Stewart(#52)....So they churn out some pretty good players.
June 9, 201411 yr QUOTE (Springfield SoxFan @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 07:10 AM) So what is the take on Jarvis, is he a steal for the Sox? Pitcher or hitter? He will be a middle infielder for the Sox. It seems like a pretty good get. Callis had mentioned that he liked him better as a pitcher and that he thought he was unsignable. The thing is though, the Sox wouldn't risk a 10th rounder on a guy that wouldn't sign. They would lose the slot amount for the 10th round pick and that's a chance they can't take after drafting Rodon and Adams. Supposedly, Jarvis had a workout with the White Sox last Monday and I would imagine they had an agreement. Interesting pick.
June 9, 201411 yr http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...ws&c_id=cws Anybody know anyone in Lawrence that could go talk to the guy and convince him to sign?

June 9, 201411 yr I will be checking this thread multiple times a day until Rodon or Adams signs. I am prepared for the wait of how long it may take
June 9, 201411 yr Author http://www.thecalifornian.com/story/news/l...lores/10213619/ As expected Marc Flores, who prepped at King City and later starred for Hartnell College, was chosen Saturday in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, and joining him was a player with Salinas and Gonzales connections. Flores, a 6-foot-5, left-hand hitting slugger who batted .305 for the University of Hawaii this past season, was taken in the 30th round of the 40-round draft by the Chicago White Sox. He was pick No. 888 overall. There were 1,215 players chosen in the three-day draft. Flores was the first player from King City to be chosen since 1995 when Brian Kirkpatrick, a pitcher, went to the Colorado Rockies in the 12th round. The draft had all the drama of a bottom of the ninth rally for Flores. "I was stressing out the whole time all week,'' Flores said. "I was super anxious. I thought for a while I may not be going. It happened last year and it happened when I was at Hartnell (undrafted both times). When I heard my name I jumped off the couch and felt super-pumped.'' He leaves for Glendale, Arizona today before being assigned to one of the White Sox minor league teams. "I'm hoping to go to their Class A team in North Carolina,'' Flores said.
June 9, 201411 yr Author http://www.oregonlive.com/beavers/index.ss...season_i_1.html Who will replace Jace Fry and Ben Wetzler in the weekend rotation? Fry and Wetzler teamed with Andrew Moore to form a daunting weekend rotation. With Fry likely to sign with the Chicago White Sox and Wetzler out of eligibility, Moore becomes the unquestioned Friday ace.
June 9, 201411 yr Any rumors as to what Jarvis signed for? I have to imagine it was right around slot because there is no way they went much above slot for a 10th round pick before the Rodon and Adams deals were taken care of.
June 9, 201411 yr Author Zach Fish @OSUZachFish · 12h Osu is an amazing place that taught me a lot about life. It's time for a new chapter and on Wednesday with the Chicago White sox! #P4L #Soxs
June 9, 201411 yr I'm going to take this as a good sign. https://twitter.com/KDB_MLB/status/47601969...3815296/photo/1
June 9, 201411 yr Just wondering......since our #1 pick is represented by Boras.... What happened years ago when we drafted pitcher Bobby Seay #1? I know he was represented by Boras, and he was declared a free agent because the Sox never offered Seay a contract, but there must be more to the story, or did White Sox just fall asleep at the switch.

If they think he is a first round talent, it may be worth it to sign Rodon, Adam and him.

Especially since there is a chance that pick winds up in the top 10 again.

If he is currently ranked the #32 best pick, he is a first round talent.

He is a high school kid who has had Tommy John surgery already. There is huge upside there but you don't forfeit a first round pick that could end up being a really high pick (we still don't know how this season is going to go) to sign him.
June 9, 201411 yr If you look on wikipedia at the MLB draft first rounds since 2002, you realize how foolish it is to hitch your wagon to "1st round talent."
June 9, 201411 yr Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 2m Source said #WhiteSox have agreed in principle to sign 2nd-rd pick, RHP Spencer Adams, at slot. Suggested slot is $1.282 mill. LET'S GO!!! At slot is amazing.
