steveno89 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just now, Jack Parkman said: They're probably going college until round 11 I could see that. Can only splurge on high upside prep lottery tickets so much at the top and still be able to not exceed bonus pool. Yet another reason why the league must do away with competitive balance picks.

GenericUserName Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Dan Metzdorf is the first player who we don't have in the BA 500. I wanted to make it 6 rounds, but alas. Undersized lefty 86-89 mostly, but touched 93 late in the season. 2.58 ERA this spring. — Carlos Collazo (@CarlosACollazo) June 4, 2019 Interesting that his velo spiked at the end of the year. Maybe we saw that when other teams didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) There's a RHP named Nick Paciorek from Northwestern in the top 200. Given that the guy is probably related to Wimpy, he screams Sox nepotism. Edited June 4, 2019 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Rays took Ben Brecht. UC Santa Barbara via New Trier HS. 6'7" lefty with serious deception. Great pick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Can someone give me a couple sentence reminder on how the slots work? Don't sign someone in the top 10, lose the slot value. But can distribute the overall slot value in picks round 1-10 however you please? Are there restrictions on picks in round 11+ in terms of overall dollar amount?

Chisox378 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Greer from St.Rita, hopefully McCormick from St Laurence goes at some point although he has a full ride to Virgina I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't you don't get to use that slot value. After round 10, the first $125k doesn't count towards the pool, but anything over that does. However, going under $125k after round 10 doesn't get you anything added to your pool. So any money over $125k you plan on spending on picks after round 10 you better have accounted for in under slot deals in the first 10 rounds.

So if you sign a guy for $150K in round 15, the $25k will come out of your slot values for round 1-10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is probably going to sign for $10k and the difference between that and the slot value will probably be spread across the previous two or three HS picks so they can go over their slots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Nate 3:13 Keith, it is very strange to see the White Sox drafting players high up on your board. Does this indicate a change in strategy or are you secretly advising Rick and Nick? Keith Law 3:13 Definitely not advising them, and I don't think they need my help either. Really strong draft for them so far. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
