June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:46 PM) This year has a Maverick Buffo too. Pretty sick. Haha, that's a great one too.
June 6, 201412 yr I wouldn't worry much about Rodon's signability, if there was potential for a problem the Sox likely would have rolled the dice on Nola instead. Edited June 6, 201412 yr by StRoostifer
June 6, 201412 yr Doug Padilla @ESPNChiSox 9m Direct. of am. scouting Doug Laumann said it's unfair to put Rodon on a Chris Sale fast track. Sale arrived 2 mos. after he was drafted.

Sale arrived 2 mos. after he was drafted. Maybe that's a negotiating thing. I'm not reading into that one way or the other. He'll get signed. He'll pitch. He'll be up when he's ready.
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 04:24 PM) What a f***ing turn of events, this was unimaginable this time last year. I seriously can't believe Houston and Miami passed on him.
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Handsome Monica? Probably takes the award for weirdest, but definitely not better than Duke Newcomb or Touki Toussaint. Last year Stryker Trahan and Storm Throne were some pretty great ones. Where the hell do they come up with these names?
June 6, 201412 yr Reds taking Nick Howard. He could be in the bullpen this year with a chance to start. This has to push Burdi to Detroit right?
June 6, 201412 yr The topic of teams being gun shy about taking pitchers due to all the TJ surgeries was made foolish.
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) Also, Nats love them some TJ. and he's a Boras client
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:58 PM) Also, Nats love them some TJ. Worked out well with Giolito.
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) Worked out well with Giolito. Not knocking it at all. A feasible approach. They also drafted an injured Rendon.

I was reading a piece from BA not long ago about the success rate of the first round college closers. It's patchy at very best. Good luck to whoever takes Burdi.

June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:01 PM) Might be getting close to Gillaspie time. Will Selig say it wrong? He sure didn't. Edited June 6, 201412 yr by Chilihead90
June 6, 201412 yr This draft is taking WAAAAAYYYYY too long, won't see our second pick til 1030 at this rate
June 6, 201412 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:57 PM) would have loved to see the sox draft room when the the astros took kolek lol
