OmarComing25 Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 QUOTE (Superstar Lamar @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 04:04 PM) any advantage to us if it is a three way tie for second (since we are teasing out all scenarios)? Tiebreaker is given to the team with the worse 2016 record, so the Phillies own the tiebreaker with us but we own the tiebreaker with the Tigers and Giants.

witesoxfan Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 QUOTE (GreenSox @ Sep 27, 2017 -> 04:09 PM) It would help if we'd sit Abreu and Garcia; I'm not sure why they are playing every day, regardless of the need to tank. Detroit is showing teams how tanking is properly done. They aren't even trying. Detroit is a poor excuse for a baseball team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) I laugh anytime people get happy when the Tigers are in the lead in a game. They can be up 5 runs and I still wouldn't doubt they blow it. Edited September 28, 2017 by SoxAce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Mets won, so I think that means we are locked in to a top 5 pick. The Reds won as well, so magic number to secure #4 is 3 or 4 depending on the outcome of these extra innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) 4 days left Team (Games left) - Sox Magic Number to have higher pick: 1. Giants (3) - 7, Sox Elim # - 1 2. Tigers (4) - 7, Sox Elim # - 2 3. Phillies (3) - 6, Sox Elim # - 2 4. White Sox (4) 5. Reds (4) - 3 (+2.0 GA)* 6. Mets (3) 7. Padres (3) 8. Braves (4) 9. A's (4) 10. Pirates (4) * Reds need to be two games worse than the Sox in the last 4 games to have a higher pick Edited September 28, 2017 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'm going to hold out for a little bit of hope the Sox can lose 4 and the Phillies can beat the Mets 2 out of 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The league should investigate the Tigers for intentionally losing/tanking . If found to be guilty of that the penalty should be a loss of their first round pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Hopefully the Angels have some motivation to get to .500 before the season ends and they light up Covey. I expect some of their regulars to sit tonight, though. Also, the Indians are still trying to wrap up the AL 1-seed. Their magic number is 3, and they should beat a tired Twins team this afternoon. Low expectations for the Sox losing all 4, but it's not out of the question. And then the Phillies would have to beat the Mets twice for the Sox to move up to 3rd.

Reminds me of our 13 Sox how we ended up with a third pick. It will be alright man. I mean, yeah the Tigers will pick #1 or 2. But...they got little else in their system. Their future is still bleak. We're going to add the #4 or #5 pick in the draft to a system that already has Moncada, Giolito, Kopech, Jimenez, Robert, Collins, Hansen....our future is flipping loaded. And remember, the top of this draft is supposed to be deep. As in #5 hopefully will get a better player than it would most other years. We'll be fine.

Chicago White Sox Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I could be wrong, but I thought this year's draft was deep at the top, but with few real standouts. If so, ending up at #4 might not be that big of a dropoff, especially since the top couple bonus pools have been greatly reduced vs. recent years.

Lillian Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) One way to look at it is that the Draft could be divided into 4 categories: Best H. S. pitcher, best H.S. position player and the same for the Top College prospects. So, even picking 4TH, you have the best of one of those categories, at a minimum. That should console those who are so disappointed that the Sox Draft position is slipping. Moreover, there is no consensus #1, 2 or 3. Hey, those who want Beer may get your wish. He could be a reasonable pick at around #5. Edited September 28, 2017 by Lillian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
