June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) FYI WHITE SOX BONUS POOL Pick No. Pick value 1 3 $5,721,500 2 44 $1,282,700 3 77 $726,000 4 108 $485,400 5 138 $363,400 6 168 $272,100 7 198 $203,800 8 228 $162,100 9 258 $151,400 10 288 $141,300 TOTAL $9,509,700 AVG $950,970 MLB RANK* 3 Can't help but notice if the Sox pay their second round pick $1 million even, that makes it possible to pay Rodon $6 million
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:17 PM) My bad. Couldn't resist. Did Kenny really want Jackson though? Who do you see the Sox pick at 44?

June 6, 201411 yr Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 1m Per http://MLB.com Prospect watch, Rodon's scouting grades are: Fastball: 65, Slider 70, Changeup 50, Control: 50. Overall: 65
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:16 PM) Any chance Trea Turner falls to 44? Would love to see Turner fall to 44 and the sox pick Brett Austin in the third or 4th tomorrow. #wolfpackorbust

June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:21 PM) Can they make him our number 1 prospect already There is no question about that.
June 6, 201411 yr https://twitter.com/scottmerkin/status/474707339707023360 Rodon was recommended by 10's of thousands of people.
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 06:59 PM) Wait, did we know that Lance Broadway is now an actor on Broadway and was in Olympus Has Fallen? Wait, what??? Wow. Had no idea.
June 6, 201411 yr For the record I'm rooting of Nola to be awesome to still believe our drafting has turned around.
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:22 PM) Highlights of Rodon vs Cuba Made a guy lose his helmet
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:26 PM) I am in this camp too. I always liked Nola and feel he had been underrated all throughout the draft process. Same. Will be tough since I despise the Phillies though.
June 6, 201411 yr It really was the best case scenario for the Sox, with Aiken and Kolek off the board. There really is no regret factor possible. They took the best guy available and now it's up to the gods. Edited June 6, 201411 yr by flavum

June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 01:23 AM) For the record I'm rooting of Nola to be awesome to still believe our drafting has turned around. I'm relieved we didn't get Nola. He definitely has a chance to be a good #3, but I worry about where the striekouts are coming from with him.
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) It's Rick's show all the way. Kopech Flaherty Weaver Thank you. Do you think they for sure can sign Rodon? And will it be at slot or slightly above?
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) It's Rick's show all the way. Thanks the Lord for small favors.
June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (bucket-of-suck @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:29 PM) It's Rick's show all the way. Kopech Flaherty Weaver I LOVE Kopech. That delivery is atypical with some deception. Would be absolutely stoked with him. Weaver is great too. Do they really have the money for Flaherty though? Supposedly looking for 2 million.
