1-1 pick Brady Aiken agrees w/@Astros on $6.5 mil. Ties Jameson Taillon's record for largest @MLBDraft bonus given to HS P.

Way under slot I believe. Good for us I guess

That'll help in our Rodon talks. No way we don't sign him.

In addition to Monte Harrison, #Brewers have signed 41st overall pick Jacob Gatewood. $1.83M bonus. Slot value: $1,384,900 #mlbdraft

 

Probably how much it'll take to sign our 2nd rounder?

Ok so if your name is Kiley why don't you just call yourself kYylE? Seriously that's a major issue for me.

I wanted to pull this out. Lol.

Looks like Ben Brewster might have a future as a pitching coach. He runs a website called Tread Athletics for "Elite Baseball Performance"

 

This is a good read on Brewster's path to where he is...

I'm rooting for this kid a bit more now.

 

 

Also in the "About us" section, it claims Brewster has touched 102 before.

From the Baseball Prospectus chat with Nick Faleris...

 

EthanSpalding (Glenview, Il): The White Sox signed Jake Jarvis, who was considered unsignable. Is he a legit prospect?

 

Draft Wrap Chat with Nick J. Faleris: I didn't see confirmation that he signed, but have heard it was happening. He is definitely a legit prospect. He was announced as an infielder but has a legit fallback on the mound, as well. Good 10th round get for the Sox.

 

Froglegs Jones Jr. (Palos Park): Do you think it's realistic to expect the White Sox to sign both Carlos Rodon and Spencer Adams?

 

Draft Wrap Chat with Nick J. Faleris: I do; with Rodon being a better bet than Adams. Given their cap space, I see no reason why they wouldn't have room for both, and if Jarvis has in fact signed it's a good indication the Sox aren't worried about coming up with any extra money for their top two picks. In fact, drafting Jarvis in the first place was a pretty solid indication they think they are going to sign Adams and Rodon without issue.

Winner winner chicken dinner.
