bighurt4life Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 5, 2008 -> 09:46 AM) I think Beckham might be waiting for the other guys to sign, especially since it's guys who are looking for huge deals. I'm not too concerned about Beckham not signing. Remember this...if for some reason he doesn't sign, we get the 8th pick compensation again. Danks is the one that I really want us to sign considering we'll get the compensatory pick if Beckham goes back to college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 The only problem is that the talenet level in next year's draft is supposed to be significantly lower. But Alvarez may be back there as well. I think that Beckham will sign, they are just waiting for other people to sign to gauge what they should be getting a their slot.

RockRaines Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Both Beckham and Danks will sign, they are two very high priorities for this org. They are waiting until a week or so. Dont fret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Rumors posted by other members here at SoxTalk suggest that Beckham is on the verge of signing and the two sides have come to an agreement... just thought I'd throw it in the signings thread.

bighurt4life Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 nice to see that we were willing to pay overslot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 So with a day to go, the highest unsigned pick that we have is our 10th rounder. Really the only real impact signing we missed out on was Long. All in all not a bad draft at all. It will be fun to see these guys move through the system.

dasox24 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I must say the Sox did a pretty darn good job of locking up their draft picks this year, signing their top 13 and 17 of the top 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPN366 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Powerhouse 6th round pick Kenny Williams Jr. hasn't played in 6 weeks. Must have strained his vag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
