1-1 pick Brady Aiken agrees w/@Astros on $6.5 mil. Ties Jameson Taillon's record for largest @MLBDraft bonus given to HS P.

Way under slot I believe. Good for us I guess

That'll help in our Rodon talks. No way we don't sign him.

Brewers are killing it.

They needed a little spark in that farm system. They got it by signing 2 of 3 first day picks.

Slot for 1-1 is $7,922,100, so yes, way under.

It is just an outstanding deal for the Astros.

Sox just drafted Ed Sprague's boy.

Probably how much it'll take to sign our 2nd rounder?

If the Sox truly thought he was signable, surely they'd have taken him in the 11th round?

Ok so if your name is Kiley why don't you just call yourself kYylE? Seriously that's a major issue for me.

I wanted to pull this out. Lol.

Looks like Ben Brewster might have a future as a pitching coach. He runs a website called Tread Athletics for "Elite Baseball Performance"

 

This is a good read on Brewster's path to where he is...

I'm rooting for this kid a bit more now.

 

 

Also in the "About us" section, it claims Brewster has touched 102 before.

From the Baseball Prospectus chat with Nick Faleris...

 

EthanSpalding (Glenview, Il): The White Sox signed Jake Jarvis, who was considered unsignable. Is he a legit prospect?

 

Draft Wrap Chat with Nick J. Faleris: I didn't see confirmation that he signed, but have heard it was happening. He is definitely a legit prospect. He was announced as an infielder but has a legit fallback on the mound, as well. Good 10th round get for the Sox.

 

Froglegs Jones Jr. (Palos Park): Do you think it's realistic to expect the White Sox to sign both Carlos Rodon and Spencer Adams?

 

Draft Wrap Chat with Nick J. Faleris: I do; with Rodon being a better bet than Adams. Given their cap space, I see no reason why they wouldn't have room for both, and if Jarvis has in fact signed it's a good indication the Sox aren't worried about coming up with any extra money for their top two picks. In fact, drafting Jarvis in the first place was a pretty solid indication they think they are going to sign Adams and Rodon without issue.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Ryan Leonards (3B, Sox 21st round draft pick) is playing on ESPN right now if anyone wants to check him out.

#WhiteSox are really excited about 10th rounder Jake Jarvis, who confirmed via @jarvis_jake he's headed to Arizona. Sounds like he signed.
