witesoxfan Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:39 PM) Abbott will sign. The Sox aren't going to draft someone in the 8th round who won't sign. Find the last time the Sox failed to sign a Top 10 pick. Ian Gardeck and Ben O'Shea, 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox aren't going to draft someone in the 8th round who won't sign. Find the last time the Sox failed to sign a Top 10 pick. THIS you don't think scouts within the organization have developed a relationship with this kid and his family? Do you really think the kid is shocked that he was picked? I can guarantee these discussions have been going on for many a week between the family and the organization. The White Sox know that he's willing to sign for a certain amount of money or they would NEVER have picked him in this spot. So unless he has a sudden change of heart, my guess is that contract will be signed in short order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 After a questionable 1st round in my opinion, I am absolutely loving the depth of this draft now. Great job Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:41 PM) I'm going the other way. I can't imagine a water polo player, signed to Long Beach State won't go there. His scholarship is worth more than the slot money. Unless the sox go way overslot, I don't think there's much of a chance. If he was that low a chance of signing, they would have taken him in like the 25th round and rolled the dice. 8th round means they know he'll sign. As...

Dick Allen Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 It appears the average water polo scholarship is $5700 at Long Beach State. Maybe he got a full. But I agree, if he was a longshot to sign, drafting him where they did makes no sense, and they seem, even if it doesn't work out, to usually make sense with their decisions.

SoxAce Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Love.. LOVE the position talent the sox are accumulating. My only gripe is the lack of left handed pitching in the org. So far, 0 left pitchers have been selected. But that's a small gripe in all of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I have the pertinent info with regards to how much the Sox were offering versus what they signed for, but considering Gardeck went from an 8th rounder to a 16th rounder with the Giants, and O'Shea went from a 10th rounder to a 35th rounder with St. Louis, probably safe to say those guys screwed themselves out of more money.

southsider2k5 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 QUOTE (steveno89 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:31 PM) I'm really digging this draft as well, assuming that we can sign all of these guys Burger Sheets Gonzalez Henzman Johnson McClure Skoug Abbott? I think we got three interesting arms in Henzman, Johnson and McClure. McClure stands out as a player who could be a late bloomer given his huge size. Burger, Sheets and Skoug certainly add a power element that did not really exist within the organization. Each also helps fill out our organizational depth. They wouldn't be drafting them if they didn't expect to sign them all. You don't draft question marks in the first 10 rounds. Period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
