Quin Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 I think what pisses me off most about the rules is that revenue sharing teams aren't penalized as hard for remaining in the lottery and can still get competitive balance picks. It needs to be one or the other at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see if we get our pool determined by the 10th pick and then based on our first slot in each subsequent round… or do we get 10th slot money to use for every round. You’d think it’s the first case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’d think it’s the first case. It’s just all of your picks added up. First pick in rounds 2-10 and then also 10th overall. Should be $12 million or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 16 hours ago, bmags said: Lincoln-Way east has another prep prospect in Jack Bauer. Jaden Fauske of Nazareth academy is a catcher in the top 100. Man Corona High School has 3 of the top 5 and 5 in the BA100 for prep players that’s gotta be crazy. I’m in support of adding Jack Bauer to this org. Will swiftly solve the rot in 24 hours.

Boopa1219 Posted July 19 Author Share Posted July 19 (edited) A new mock from MLB Pipeline's Jonathan Mayo. This one also has the Sox taking... Devin Taylor. He is a midwest dude, who plays at a midwest school and has a track record of performing with wood bats. So he checks those White Sox boxes. https://www.mlb.com/news/2025-mlb-mock-draft?t=mlb-draft-coverage Quote 10. White Sox: Devin Taylor, OF, Indiana Taylor has already established a very good hitting, and hitting with power, resume. He’s coming off a 20-home run season at Indiana and has a career 1.096 OPS with the Hoosiers and he’s built off of that with a very strong showing in the Cape Cod League this summer. He’ll play an outfield corner, but should hit to profile well there. Another benefit for the Sox, the high school hitters in this class are lightyears better than the 2024 crop.

Bob Sacamano Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Is this draft expected to be great where picking 10th in the first round but first in every other round wouldn’t be as terrible as it feels picking 10th instead of 1st? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably too early to say anything conclusively, but I'd wager it's stronger. 2024 was considered historically weak. Hard to envision it being worse. Below is a blurb prefacing the 2025 draft rankings at BA. Quote The 2025 MLB Draft class appears stronger than 2024, especially at the high school level. Shortstop Ethan Holliday ranks No. 1 entering the prep season. The top of the list also features several recognizable stars at the college ranks who enjoyed loud starts to the season.

Johno Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I’m being totally serious here, does MLB jump in and decide the White Sox will get the first pick in the 2025 draft just because they are so bad? I know the best slot they can get in the draft is the 10th pick, but this just seems criminal considering how bad this entire organization is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
