flavum Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Callis said if the Brewers don't take Ray at 5, he thinks he'll fall to the Sox at 10. Sounds good to me. Also said, Ray or Lux at 10, and a college arm at 26. Edited June 6, 2016 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royoung Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 6, 2016 -> 10:28 AM) One of those funky delivery guys. Doesn't seem like a #10. Would be a big reach at #10, but I would be very excited for him at #26. I think he sticks as a starter and has a high floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting to see if the could work something out well below slot at 10 for Lux and then grab Rutherford later in the first round. There were reports that some teams with larger pools were trying to get him to slip into the comp round (like Cameron last year) and the Sox could be one of the teams trying to make that happen. I love the idea of being able to get Perez or Ray at 10. I think at this point the Sox are going to have some pretty good options on the table at 10, it is going to be about getting creative so that you can maximize that value you will get out of your next two picks.

I just hope they take the guy who will turn into the best player at 10. The Astros cost themselves Rodon and Bryant playing the underslot/overslot game.

That ended up being an awful pick but lots of people had Appel as the #1 player in that class and most people actually thought Appel and Jon Gray would go 1-2 before Bryant.

Appel was a senior with no leverage and signed for underslot, plus he was highly ranked. I think money had a lot to do with it. Take the best player. Don't worry about the other stuff. It's hard enough projecting in baseball anyways, although it is getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It worked magically with Correa though. Correa was not seen as the #1 prospect. They took him #1 and got Lance McCullers because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most evaluators had Appel ranked higher than Bryant going into that draft. Just because it didn't turn out that way doesn't mean that isn't how it was seen at the time. You are evaluating this entirely based on hindsight. Edited June 6, 2016 by whitesoxfan99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are evaluating this entirely based on hindsight. I read a couple things where the Astros wanted under slot for later and Bryant was represented by Boras so was not going to be considered, Boras does represent Appel but he had no leverage and signed for under slot. About $1 million IIRC. Edit, $1.45 million under slot. Just a coincidence? I don't think so, and I think it is the same reason they took Aiken instead of Rodon. 62 games 31 homers for Bryant his junior year with the dead aluminum bat. Considering their offense is based almost solely on power, he was right up their alley. Edited June 7, 2016 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 (edited) Are there any relations of White Sox execs or coaching staff to watch out for this year? It's worth noting that had we selected Daz Cameron (Mike's son) and yet another in a long line of toolsy outfielders, we might not be too happy with the results. http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?playe...itting/2015/ALL I'll try to check out a game when I am home to the Quad Cities in July/August and give a scouting report.

Callis said on the SSS podcast that Hahn or Hostetler (sp?) went to go see him last week and he went 0 for 4 with 3 Ks and looked awful. Said it doesn't mean they are sour on him, but late impressions tend to stick and could make them shy away. Didn't seem to have any other reasons other than that.
