BearSox Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Right now KC, Baltimore, Tampa Bay, Florida, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Houston all have worse or as bad as a record as the White Sox. We really need a loss and some help tomorrow. If the Astros and Pirates win tomorrow, and we lose, we will be tied with Cincinatti for the 7th worse record in baseball. So, we will hopefully get the 7th overall pick. What a bummer... hopefully Smoak would still be around by the time we pick, but I doubt it.

witesoxfan Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 at this point, draft position is meaningless, because the best the Sox can do is 8, and the worst is 10; there's like absolutely no difference between those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bschmaranz Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 The draft is about ponying up the dough to get that game-changer on your roster. In recent years, it seems like teams have drafted inferior talent because they were afraid to give that crazy signing bonus. Let's hope Jerry and KW will be willing to pony up to bring in that guy.

3E8 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 They will have to pony up because there won't be much action for us in the first few rounds to spend on. Looks like we'll have pick nine and then pick nine.....ty nine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Draft position means nothing. KW will select Jordan Danks. The minute this team left the top 3 picks, he has the freedom to go after another one of his guys. He drafted him before, and he will waste( I mean use a draft pick) a pick on him. We will get a top 60 player in the 10th spot. Whoopie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's a shame college baseball doesn't get the pub that college basketball and football do. It's easy for people like greg to say "f*** the draft" when more than likely he has no idea who's gonna be in it in the first place, or who's good. greg, you know who Lebron James is, right? What if there was a HS or College kid projected to be as good at baseball as Lebron was projected to be in basketball. Would you rather see your team win meaningless games, or would you rather them lose so you could have a chance at a once in a generation talent?

nitetrain8601 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Unfortunately I have a feeling like the others that we're going to take Jordan Danks instead of a top guy because of signing reasons and because KW is pretty dumb when it comes to the draft.

CWSGuy406 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Okay, barring a ten-run ninth, we'll be 8th. Not ideal but we'll still have a shot at getting a very good player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
