fathom Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 If Hoffman stayed healthy, do the Sox take him over Rodon? Question to ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsoxhurt35 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:28 PM) It really was the best case scenario for the Sox, with Aiken and Kolek off the board. There really is no regret factor possible. They took the best guy available and now it's up to the gods. Ya...unless Nola turns into a HOFer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsandz Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) I LOVE Kopech. That delivery is atypical with some deception. Would be absolutely stoked with him. Weaver is great too. Do they really have the money for Flaherty though? Supposedly looking for 2 million. Yeah that would take some talk. Word is the org really sells their heath track record hard (and well) in talks so that could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:31 PM) Thank you. Do you think they for sure can sign Rodon? And will it be at slot or slightly above? If Rodon is really looking for $6M like twitter rumors have said, then I don't think it should be a big deal to sign him. Maybe they get him to come down to slot value and promise a taste of the big leagues this fall like they did with Chris Sale. Basically, do everything exactly the same they did with Sale. That seemed to have worked well. Hah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much depth in this class, hope the Sox can take advantage of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) Sean Newcomb would be the choice for best name if his parents named him Duke Newcomb instead. Touki Toussaint probably takes that award, at least on Day 1. Edited June 6, 2014 by Chilihead90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 9m Scouting director Doug Laumann said Carlos Rodon "pretty much was consensus guy we had targeted since his sophomore season." Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 9m Laumann" "He was consensus best guy on the board" JJ Cooper @jjcoop36 1h Teams were worried about Rodon's back which has given him problems, but at his best, he's the best player in this draft. Daryl Van Schouwen @CST_soxvan 5m Laumann on Rodon signability: "personaly I don't (have concerns). Rick and Scott Boras have fairly good relationship.'' Scott Merkin @scottmerkin 4m Doug Laumann said he would be surprised if the CWS don't get Rodon in the fold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Handsome Monica? Probably takes the award for weirdest, but definitely not better than Duke Newcomb or Touki Toussaint. Last year Stryker Trahan and Storm Throne were some pretty great ones.
