June 5, 201411 yr 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. I won't complain if Rodon is a bust. I will complain if the Sox don't sign him, or if they go over slot to sign him.
June 5, 201411 yr Man, Schwarber looks like he's gonna be a really fat dude whenever he stops playing baseball.
June 5, 201411 yr Wow we really really really f***ed over the Cubs seeing that. Nola should be perfect for them though
June 5, 201411 yr Love the Rodon pick! How can the Cubs pass up on pitching? This is just great!!!! Welcome Rodon!

Uh, no, that's Jackson.
June 5, 201411 yr Really interesting next couple of picks. Might indicate what the Sox know about his demands. College senior next? Stinnett maybe? Fan of his.
June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:31 PM) these mlb.com commercials are horrible. Ya know I tried watching a game on there. It was so painstakingly awful. I bought mlb extra innings.
June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 05:32 PM) 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. And Danks looking like Glavine Lite if he can learn how to pitch with diminished velocity. Let's just hope Rodon/Sale don't end up like Steve Avery, haha.
June 5, 201411 yr Brian Cartwright @blcartwright 2h Kyle Schwarber 1.04 to Cubs Oliver peak (age 27) proj 330 wOBA 247/321/437 comps - Mike Carp, Ryan Roberts, S VanSlyke

June 5, 201411 yr Schwarber is basically Prince Fielder which is why this pick doesnt make any sense.
June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:35 PM) Man, Schwarber looks like he's gonna be a really fat dude whenever he stops playing baseball. Put a hockey jersey on him and call him Kevin Smith.

Some say Zimmer, some say Pentecost, there's a lot of different opinions. Conforto, etc.

Wow, Jackson falling into the M's lap.

June 5, 201411 yr QUOTE (Baron @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) Schwarber is basically Prince Fielder which is why this pick doesnt make any sense. Especially for a team and farm system that needs pitching, in a draft loaded with pitchers no less. Lmfao!
