MLB isn't allowing the trading of pool space for this period and next one. They announced that during this shutdown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's just a typo, but now I'm imagining "James Fox won't waive no trade clause for White Sox trade." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how much more space we have than the Marlins & Mets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the lesson, I didn't know you couldn't trade space this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Miami also has the Cuban factor not to mention the weather and I'm sure the younger Cespedes would love to potentially play with his brother in New York. Gonna be an interesting race between the 3 teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it'd be: Zack Collins, Zack Burdi, Jimmy Lambert (Hansen, Call, Fisher), Jake Burger, Gavin Sheets, Luis Gonzalez, Lincoln Henzman, Tyler Johnson, Nick Madrigal, Steele Walker, Konnor Pilkington, Lency Delgado, Jonathan Stiever, Andrew Vaughn, Matthew Thompson, Andrew Dalquist and James Beard. The point is that using the first 5 rounds is stupid. If you're going to use WAR, just do it based on all 40 rounds since teams don't take players in order anyway. The drafts don't appear to be great from 2016-2017, but there are numerous future big leaguers in this 5 year span. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus some teams - like the Sox - will draft low prospects or senior signs as a strategy in the first 5 rounds to afford other picks before or later in the draft. Leave it to ESPN. This is not how you measure who drafts well or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitown87 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Maybe I just haven't looked into Lux enough, but I have a hard time understanding ranking him ahead of Robert right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxJon Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 13 new draftees added, but not that #11 guy taken or their #12 rated prospect? Fascinating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating The #11 guy draft was rated like #18 overall (Crochet). Kelley was likely right on the bubble.. They have Kelley as 55FV and Crochet as 50FV. Which I am fine with.

They had Kelley at 55 and Crochet at 50, but in the Sox T30 they ranked Crochet above Kelley, meaning that they have Crochet higher now but they haven't updated their scouting reports.
