PolishPrince34 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I like the Keener pick. Has 3 average to above average pitches. Arm is fresh and Wake Forest has good track record with producing and keeping their pitchers healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Wolkow is practically an international signing - $1 million, 17 years old. Gonna take a lot of development and may never get out of complex league, but I think it's an interesting upside play. Will be fascinating regardless of outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which feels wild. It'd be exciting if he succeeds, but would be wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they're hosting a rookie mini-camp there. They have done that in previous years at Birmingham. There's no way he starts his career in A ball.

flavum Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 I’m sure Wolkow’s first at bat for a full season team will be 2025, when he’s 19. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 He's in Kannapolis because that's where everyone is going to sign. My bad, guys. He'll be in ACL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almagest Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Wolkow is 17 and hit most of these balls over 100 mph, including one at 109.9, with a wood bat. Nice short swing, too. He’s gonna be a monster if he can work out the swing and miss issues. Edited July 18, 2023 by almagest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Sox are going to have left over money. Could have went after another tough signing in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Right now, the White Sox are around $8.9 million spent. They can go to like $9.5 million. They've spent over every year but may not utilize it this season very much. Still need bonus for Lucas Gordon and Franklin plus any overages on day 3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Lucas Gordon is getting $300K. That puts the White Sox at $9,207,800 before the totals for Franklin, LaCombe and any other overages on day three. They can go to $9,526,000. They won't do that but they're definitely over the pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) The #WhiteSox signed 10th rounder Zach Franklin to a $10,000 deal. Slot value for the 299th pick is $167,600.

Franklin got $10k so Lacombe is the only wild card and it’s doubtful he gets anything too crazy if Nishada only got $170k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I'm not that perturbed at the whether they go over or not. The cost for HS talent may be increasing, not sure what the breakdown was this year. The depth of this class was college position players, and I don't think they chose Gonzalez from a budget perspective. There was a ton of top 100 high school talent that didn't sign, maybe they had their eye on one and it didn't work out. Nonetheless, we've seen that even going over can come with lots of budget cuts on individual picks. I like that this is a pretty well-rounded class. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
