Del Castillo was #194 in the Pipeline rankings. Almost no chance he signs, but he is one worth tracking if he signs or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant in general. I'm pretty sure everyone knew Matthew Klug wasn't signing. The ACE guy in Round 40 likely won't, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I wonder if there are more interesting guys throughout the system than usual has led to us picking this many HS kids vs org filling college guys. The other explanation is we're trying to establish relationship and get them acquainted with our organization to help with future negotiations. But I honestly haven't seen that leading to anything in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've signed their top 15 picks since 2012 and I'm expecting everyone to sign this year as well. They had to save somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 He has a Sox logo in his picture so he's signing as well. Curious to see the $$ on that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Jason Bilous is signing as well: https://www.wdel.com/sports/caravel-alum-bilous-ready-to-build-his-pro-baseball-career/article_00e2c856-6a09-11e8-a390-e77eb7ea4e95.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Seems as if 16th rd catcher Tyrus Greene signing as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 13 minutes ago, Y2Jimmy0 said: Seems as if 16th rd catcher Tyrus Greene signing as well I think he could be a sneaky good signing. He batted leadoff for most of the year and appears to be athletic enough to be a utility player when he isn't catching. He also has a weird swing that could probably be ironed out so he can drive the ball a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 FutureSox had some additional guys counted as signing: Round 15 Luke Schilling Round 21 Nick Johnson Round 26 Devon Perez Round 29 Taylor Varnell Round 32 Aaron Soto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Why do I think Lency Delgado is going to be a great prospect/signing? Especially since I have never seen him play and never heard of him until June 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't have a link, but I did see a scout with a great track record of about eight major leaguers really went to bat for him. He came in a couple rounds earlier than ranking. Maybe a little savings????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 We are now up to 17 signed on the FutureSox Tracker. That's a combo of news reports, our own sourcing, and social media of the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 It looks like Carranza is going to sign Also Davis Martin is still in the college playoffs, but it looks good for him signing because he has the tweet about being drafted pinned. Along those same lines of probably not enough to confirm, but at least there being an indication is Ryan Fitzpatrick who only has 23 tweets but 3 of them are related to being drafted by the Sox. Also, Kelvin Maldonado has a pic of him in Sox gear on his instagram. Finally, Bryce Bush probably isn't signing considering it looks like he subtweeted about his being pick with a tweet just saying "lol". So not only are we probably not signing him, you can probably count out a redraft too. I would think all of the HS guys from 33 to 40 aren't going to sign just from general patterns and checking their social media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
