Eminor3rd Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:31 PM) It doesn't say he signed for slot, just what slot value is. Here's hoping though. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/06/whit...ncer-adams.html White Sox To Sign Second-Rounder Spencer Adams By Steve Adams [June 9, 2014 at 2:22pm CDT] The White Sox have agreed to terms with second-round pick Spencer Adams, a source tells Dan Hayes of CSNChicago.com (Twitter link). The two sides are said to have agreed to the full slot value of $1.282MM. Adams, who was selected with the 44th overall pick in this year’s draft, was considered a first-round talent by many. Baseball America ranked him 23rd in the final edition of its Top 500, while Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis of MLB.com ranked him 27th, and ESPN’s Keith Law placed Adams 37th on his Top 100. BA notes that Adams, a former basketball standout, is one of the best athletes in this year’s class with a fastball that sits in the 93 to 95 mph range. A high school right-hander from Georgia, Adams throws from a three-quarter arm slot that he struggles to repeat at times (per Law’s scouting report), sometimes teetering on the brink of sidearming the ball. MLB.com calls his slider his best secondary offering, noting that both his changeup and curveball have the potential to be average or better pitches that will complement his two plus offerings. Adams had been committed to Georgia but will instead embark on his pro career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harfman77 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 QUOTE (Butter Parque @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 02:25 PM) Certainly creates the possibility to sign the Mizzou kid. Comes down to Rodon now. No one else will likely get their full slot other than him. If you get him so sign for $5M, then you have a really decent shot at signing Montes de Oca. 1 (3): Carlos Rodon, LHP, /$5,721,500 2 (44): Spencer Adams, $1,282,700/$1,282,700 3 (77): Jace Fry, /$726,000 4 (108): Brett Austin, /$485,400 5 (138): Zach Thompson, /$363,400 6 (168): Louie Lechich, /$272,100* 7 (198): Jake Peter, /$203,800 8 (228): John Ziznewski, /$162,100* 9 (258): Brian Clark, /$151,400 10 (288): Jake Jarvis, /$141,300 14 (408): Bryce Montes de Oca, /$100,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Jun 9, 2014 -> 01:57 PM) He is a high school kid who has had Tommy John surgery already. There is huge upside there but you don't forfeit a first round pick that could end up being a really high pick (we still don't know how this season is going to go) to sign him. I read this. What is the draft like next year. Is it deeper this year? I'm not saying they should just that it is a thought. You'll have a possibly elite talent already in the system for a year compared to a lesser talent pool, if the draft is weaker. Just something to consider if this draft was as good and deep as the "experts" said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Rodon is gonna sign at slot or above. No way he is signing for 750k under slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox can get creative and place him on the 40 man roster and maybe sell him on the Chris Sale plan as that will get him to free agency quicker and mean more $$ in the long run. I doubt that he signs for less than slot, but it is really the only way to get enough money to sign Montes de Oca. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 Dan Hayes @DanHayesCSN 11m Sounds as if #WhiteSox doing fairly well w/ lot of top picks. Perhaps more next few days. Nothing on Rodon yet but team is confident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's once you get to July 18th ( i believe thats the date) and theoretical register to begin school in the Fall. Once you begin school, you need to wait 3 years.

cabiness42 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 yea i know its the rules, but what specifically? the fact you committed to the school or that you turned down being drafted? It's not in MLB's best interests to allow kids to re-enter the draft every year. They get their first shot out of HS. If they choose not to sign, they don't get their second shot for 3 more years, which would be after the third year of college for most kids. Then if you still don't sign you can be drafted again the following year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like that happened to change the scenario. Edited June 9, 2014 by ptatc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Rule: High school players, if they have graduated from high school and have not yet attended college or junior college; College players, from four-year colleges who have either completed their junior or senior years or are at least 21 years old; and Junior college players, regardless of how many years of school they have completed So I was right, it can be a year for JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
