That's quite a few early picks.

[israel4ever]

5 picks in the first 59...we SHOULD get some players!!!

[Flash Tizzle]

First round

22. Minnesota Twins (from Seattle for Eddie Guardado)

25. Minnesota Twins (from Cubs for LaTroy Hawkins)

 

Can someone explain how Minnesota has two first round picks AND two sandwich picks for Guardado and Hawkins? Why didn't we get similar treatment for Colon and Gordon? I see Sox have two sandwhich picks (follwed by two second round for colon/gordon), but how the hell did Hawkins and Guardado end up as 1st rounders?

When a team signs multiple FAs the team that has the worst record of teams losing FAs gets the pick, the next in line gets the 2nd round. We just had dumb luck of who we lost people to.

good question -- Here's the ESB rankings they use to help determine compensation.

I can't wait to see who we draft. Maybe some awesome infielders or pitchers.

Most likely a there will be some middle infield taken high in this draft.

When a team signs multiple FAs the team that has the worst record of teams losing FAs gets the pick, the next in line gets the 2nd round.  We just had dumb luck of who we lost people to.

It's a little more complicated than that.....

 

When a team signs a Type A free agent, the team losing the player is awarded the first round pick of the team that signed the player if that pick is in the second half of the first round (picks 16-30). If the signing team's 1st round pick is in the first half of the round (picks 1-15), the team that lost the free agent gets that team's second round pick, instead of their first.

 

In this scenario, the Angels signed Colon, but they were slotted to pick 12th overall, meaning the Sox get the Angels second round pick instead of their first.

 

When teams sign multiple free agents, the team that loses the highest rated player gets the first round pick and the team with the next highest gets their second round pick. The Yankees signed both Paul Quantril and Tom Gordon. According to the rankings, The Cheat posted above, Quantril was rated higher than Gordon, giving the Dodgers the Yanks first round pick and the White Sox their second round slot.

 

This applies only to free agents that were offered arbitration by their original club, so some free agents such as Greg Maddux, Gary Sheffield, etc. are not factored in. No compensation is due the teams for losing such players. For instance, if the Braves would have offered arbitration to Gary Sheffield, they would have gotten the Yanks 1st rd. pick, the Dodgers would have gotten their 2nd rounder and the Sox their 3rd round pick.

Likewise for the Alomars, Everitts, ect.

Does anyone know if Jered Weaver is going to be in the draft?

[Rex Hudler]

Does anyone know if Jered Weaver is going to be in the draft?

I do believe he is draft eligible, yes. 12-0 with a 1.45 ERA isn't too bad.... but that mullet he is sporting has got to go!!

 

[Gene Honda Civic]

Does anyone know if Jered Weaver is going to be in the draft?

W-L	ERA	IP	H	R	ER	BB	SO	OPP AVG
12-0	1.42	95.1	51	18	15	13	146	.154

 

------------------------

 

He'll go in the top three -- Won't fall past the Mets -- He's likely to be a Boras client as well.

[Texsox]

I think that is fair for Colon. Since draft picks in baseball have about the lowest rate of success of any sport, I like having lots if picks. As always going after arms, then maybe a 1st baseman, cf, and depending on contract discussions, looking at the OF corners.

[Rex Hudler]

you beat me to it Cheat..... scroll back up.

[bulokis]

when was the last time we drafted high (1-10 picks)? if i can recall correctly we always drafted around picks 15 and up?

[Gene Honda Civic]

when was the last time we drafted high (1-10 picks)? if i can recall correctly we always drafted around picks 15 and up?

The last time we had a BAD team was 99 -- So 2000 we drafted "high" -- Borchard

[witesoxfan]

when was the last time we drafted high (1-10 picks)? if i can recall correctly we always drafted around picks 15 and up?

Frank Thomas was drafted about 6th overall.

 

I think that was the last time we had a real high pick.

[ChiSox_Sonix]

5 picks in the first 59, very nice. This could turn into an extremely good draft for us. We'd better not take more than 1 OF in those first 5, lol.

[BrandoFan]

The last time we had a BAD team was 99 -- So 2000 we drafted "high" -- Borchard

 

1. Sox were not "bad' in 1999 despite sporting a 23 Mill payroll. If Frank's foot didn't bother him all year, forcing him to miss last 25% of the season, Sox would have finished around .500. Now Cubs, on the other hand......

 

2. Borchard was taken with a 13th pick, no?

[False Alarm]

i haven't read up on it too much yet, but i think it's considered a very pitching-heavy draft. unusually thin talent for position players or something. i wouldn't be surprised to see us take like four pitchers with those first five picks. rex or some of the other minor-league gurus probably know better though.

[Wise Master Buehrle]

Is there a list anywhere for draftees and thier stats perhaps?

 

Also, when is the draft?

[Gene Honda Civic]

1.  Sox were not "bad' in 1999 despite sporting a 23 Mill payroll. If Frank's foot didn't bother him all year, forcing him to miss last 25% of the season, Sox would have finished around .500.    Now Cubs, on the other hand......

 

2.  Borchard was taken with a 13th pick, no?

Borchard was taken 11th --

 

The sox won 75 games in 99 -- I put "bad" in quotes cuz on the Northside that would be considered a success -- but that is a bad team by our standards --

 

89 was the last full season where we had less than 75 wins.

[aboz56]

If he falls this far, I'd like to see Jeremy Sowers taken by the Sox with the 18th pick, however, that is highly unlikely to happen...Nonetheless, I think we take a pitcher first.

[Rex Hudler]

MnSoxFn (MSF) is the draft guy. I follow it a little bit, but beyond that, just soak in all he shares.
