Agree too.

 

Outside chance he could even make it to Chicago at the end of the year as well.

 

A rotation consisting of Sale, Quintana and Rodon? I like.

Has a team ever succeeded with 4 lefty starters?

Even if it's 500k over, it's definitely worth the risk.

I agree

I don't think we need spoilers from here on out.....

Would have preferred Nola but can't complain.

Nobody here cares about spoiler tags. Just post it.

 

Oh, also, LOL @ Cubs for that pick.

A lot of people cared.

these mlb.com commercials are horrible.

I don't like this pick for the Cubs at all. I get the point of saving money for later, but not huge on that player.

Where does Rodon fall on BA's top 100 list next year?

 

Gray was #12, Appel was #39 and Stewart #52 this year.

Surprise the Cubs went underslot

 

 

Just glad it's over.

 

Let's start to work on getting that fastball back to a plus pitch, and improving the change-up.

 

Cuban Connection adds #5.

Seems like the draft never really works out how we Sox fans want it, well it f***ing worked out this year we'll see if it pans out!

 

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

Ha, Papa Zimmer needs a beer.

Has a team ever succeeded with 4 lefty starters?

 

Better question, has a team with a decent offense and a 1,2,3 as good as Sale, Q, and Rodon (could be) ever failed?

 

I mean that's like Braves 90's all over again dominant front line staff.

Twins should take Jackson.

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

 

For sure.

Haha, Cubs are going to regret passing on Jackson.

Surprise the Cubs went underslot

So Cubs bad pick ..............stadium half empty tonight. Sheep are getting restless.

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

Absolutely, they took the BPA, I will never criticize this pick.

Has a team ever succeeded with 4 lefty starters?

Probably not cause it's hard to find 4 good left handed starters. If they're all good who cares what hand they throw with?

I don't like this pick for the Cubs at all. I get the point of saving money for later, but not huge on that player.

 

Agreed, I still don't understand why they weren't in on Nola.

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

 

 

Yup. He was the damn consensus #1 pick coming into the season.

The Cubs ownership must be more broke than we thought.

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

He will not be a bust.....Kolek to me has a chance to be one.

Wasn't everyone basically saying Pentecost was the only one likely to stick at C of the top 3?

 

They already have so many bats, Bryant/Baez/Soler/Rizzo, etc.

 

Unless he's going to stick at catcher, it's not a very good pick.

 

Where are they going to play all those guys?

Confident that Gordon going to Twins at No. 5 which was rumored by everyone coming in. Draft set up well for them.
