Jake Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 On paper, this looks like a very good draft. Got some top-end talent and more of it than our budget was designed to allow for. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 12:34 PM) I don't care if Nick Parent gets drafted in the 38th round. It costs us no money and we have to fill out those rookie rosters anyway. One of the positives of having Oney around way back when was they could move him up and down when there were injuries and/or sit him on the bench at whatever level needed an extra body without caring, since he wasn't a real prospect. So imagine that, but the kid isn't a dickhead. Why does this player need to be related to someone in the front office or coaching staff?

southsider2k5 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I am really interested to see what our bonus numbers look like to see if we have a chance at guys like Ball and Rodriguez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it is inherent in their drafting that they are not a real prospect and a favor is being done to them. The Chase Blackwoods of the world (he was also jerked around like this) deserve a real shot when you have a Nick Parent to jerk around instead.

The Chase Blackwoods of the world (he was also jerked around like this) deserve a real shot when you have a Nick Parent to jerk around instead. When you are into the 36 round, you aren't really drafting prospects at that point. You are buying $1000 lottery tickets. The odds of "Chase Blackwood" being good enough to make the majors is about as good as Nick Parent in terms of reality. Heck there is always Mike Piazza to point to as the king of late round favors.

Did you not read the post you replied to? They do it no more than anyone else. Everyone does it. I happen to agree with you in not liking it, but, stop trying to make it sounds like this is just a Sox thing. It is clearly not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolishPrince34 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jun 12, 2013 -> 12:53 PM) Trey Michalczewski @T_Michalczewski 3m It's official!! Can't wait to start my professional career! #whitesoxnation Huge signing!!! Love it. Hopefully Mitchell will be signing on the dotted line soon.

Jake Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Some great value on very projectable guys in this draft. Even if they all flame out, at least we went with a much higher reward strategy than we've ever really applied in the past. We want to draft stars, not just serviceable players.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Awesome job getting Michalczewski, he is my favorite hitter in this draft, actually. Now the next 2 hard signs seem to be Octavio Rodriquez, and maybe Engel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Jim Callis @jimcallisBA 6m #White Sox, 3rd-rder Jacob May agree to $525k.

The 815 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Also, I believe the rule for players selected in rounds 11-40 is that there is a 100K limit before money counts against the allotment. For example, if Octavio or Tash sign for 250K then 150K would count against the signing allotment for round 1-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
