Rowand44 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I assume Rock is referring to Rondo and not talking about it before the draft Rajon? But yes, I assume he was talking about the Rodon pick as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Other than the few I PM'ed. This was a hard secret to keep. Jeez. Are you talking about the Sox willingness to draft Rodon if he was still there at #3 or is something else in the works?

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 It's a run on catchers right now. Come on, 3 more picks and the Sox can take switch-hitting catcher Jakson Reetz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I'm sure I already missed this discussion, but why hasn't Reid-Foley come off the board yet? I'm guessing his asking price at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeky Magee Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Now 9 players left on the Baseball America Top 500 that are ranked higher than the Sox pick, 3 picks to go: 19. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP 20. Monte Harrison, OF 21. Jacob Gatewood, SS 23. Spencer Adams, RHP 33. Jacob Bukauskas, RHP (signability issues) 36. Nick Burdi, RHP 40. Michael Gettys, OF 41. A.J. Reed, 1B 42. Joe Gatto, RHP Unless Reid-Foley, Harrison and Gatewood go in consecutive picks, the Sox will have the chance (bonuses obviously a factor) to get a BA Top 21 rank at 44.

PolishPrince34 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:39 PM) Also if the Sox had any aptitude for fixing players swings, Gettys would be awesome. All the other tools are bonkers. I'm not sold Sox do a good job with those type of hitters with their development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour is that Rodon's demand is $6m. That's only a couple hundred thou over the Sox slot. Mightn't need much savings. Mightn't need any at all if they get him at slot for a promise of a quick promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Just draft a lot of pitching. That's how I'd build my organization. You can sign hitters and trade for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
