June 6, 201411 yr Jim Callis just said the following on the mlb.com coverage about Spencer Adams: - that he would have moved him up to #27 in the rankings if he had done a draft-day ranking - that he really thought he was going to the Dodgers at #22 - that he has a huge ceiling

June 6, 201411 yr Out of curiosity, when is deadline to sign Rodon, and what typically would he do during the downtime?

June 6, 201411 yr I'm not the least bit in favor of "underdrafting" with the 3rd round pick. First of all, Rodon doesn't need to be offered a dime over slot. He has no leverage, and the Sox can pretty much assure him he will hit the active roster no later than September 1. Sox can go 5% over their total allotment without losing future picks. That means they can offer Adams money 10-12 slots higher than where they drafted him without having to go underslot on other picks. Don't waste the third round pick. I'm fine with taking a guy who has 3rd-4th round talent that they are certain will sign for slot or slightly under, but I'm not fine with taking a guy who has 10th-12th round talent and offering him $100K.

June 6, 201411 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 12:01 PM) Don't hand the Cubs a guy on a silver platter . . . There is plenty of talent left despite who the Sox grab. Also, who cares? The Sox aren't drafting to stifle the Cubs.

June 6, 201411 yr For a top 3 pick, it's a little disappointing not to have heard a word from Rodon himself yet.
