whitesoxfan99 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 12:31 PM) I was hoping Austin would have signed for less than he did. I am not sure we can assume Jarvis will sign for slot. Ziznewski made a (perhaps) silly mistake by saying he thought he was going to be drafted on day three. Either way, he'll be way underslot. Obviously this is all being appropriated for both/either Rodon and/or Montas de Oca. Stealing Montas de Oca ceiling would really be the cherry on top of a great draft at face value. I am sure the Sox are really selling themselves to this kid's advisors. What's a better a organization for this kid's history? I am just surprised the Sox didn't take more seniors in the latter half of the first round. That's a strategy we employed last year and it netted us Michalczewski and this year there was a serious run of seniors in the 7-10 rounds. Hopefully that means the Sox really like that players they nabbed at the end of day two. I don't think we can assume Jarvis signed right at slot but with how quickly he signed it seems highly unlikely it was for much above slot.

Feeky Magee Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sean Reid-Foley signed for slot at 49. I had thought part of the reason we went for Adams over Reid-Foley was that Reid-Foley was looking for overslot, but no. Reid-Foley was ranked higher across the board, some places significantly, others just a few places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 http://olympictalk.nbcsports.com/2014/06/1...ating-baseball/ Olympic silver medalist Eddy Alvarez signs with Chicago White Sox Nick Zaccardi Jun 11, 2014, 1:02 PM EDT Leave a comment Eddy Alvarez Getty Images U.S. Olympic short track speed skater Eddy Alvarez is set to start a professional baseball career. The Olympic silver medalist signed minor-league contract papers with the Chicago White Sox in an Instagram video posted Tuesday. Alvarez, 24, was an all-conference shortstop at Salt Lake Community College in 2011 before shifting focus to skating, where he and his U.S. teammates won 5000m relay silver in Sochi. He predicted the switch back to baseball before the Sochi Olympics. “I plan to go back to baseball after this,” he told MLB.com. “That’s the thing. I’ve never, ever been able to choose between baseball and skating, which is why I still juggle the two sports in my life. This was one of my goals — always to be an Olympic skater — and the other one is to be a professional baseball player.” The White Sox said the signing is not official yet, but when it is he will likely head to Arizona for workouts before being assigned to a minor-league club. Alvarez is not the first Olympian to switch sports and sign with the White Sox. A basketball player named Michael Jordan did the same in 1994.

GGajewski18 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 12:57 PM) Reid-Foley was the guy I wanted when we were on the clock. It'll be interesting to watch them develop because at the least, the Sox had to have considered Reid-Foley as he was the consensus BPA at the time. Totally different prospects though, maybe the Sox were shooting for ceiling with Adams or maybe they just stuck to their affinity for big athletic righties. In Reid-Foley's case, the ceiling isn't as high but their is serious praise for his control and breaking ball. There was major sign ability issues with Reid-Foley though. At least that's what Mayo and Callis said when he got drafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 08:32 PM) Considering he signed at slot even though he fell out of the first round that wasn't true. I wonder, do you think that a phone call was not made to players before they were drafted. I mean in the first and second with the comp pick.

fathom Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 QUOTE (IowaSoxFan @ Jun 11, 2014 -> 02:48 PM) Updated 1 (3): Carlos Rodon, LHP, /$5,721,500 2 (44): Spencer Adams, $1,282,700/$1,282,700 3 (77): Jace Fry, /$726,000 4 (108): Brett Austin, $450,000/$485,400 5 (138): Zach Thompson, $363,400/$363,400 6 (168): Louie Lechich, $40,000/$272,100 7 (198): Jake Peter, $203,800/$203,800 8 (228): John Ziznewski, /$162,100* 9 (258): Brian Clark, /$151,400 10 (288): Jake Jarvis, $141,300?/$141,300 - Assuming that this is full slot since this is a HS player 14 (408): Bryce Montes de Oca, /$100,000 So they basically signed 2-5 at slot value given Fry and Austin combining to equal their 3-4 slots now. I find it hard to imagine a situation where the Sox sign Montes de Oca. As for Rodon, it would seem he will be getting in the 6 million range if he signs.
