maggsmaggs Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (oldsox @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 07:53 PM) Is it a 99.9999 % chance that he will sign? Seeing how all the top pitchers this year pretty much lost money due to various injuries, he is going sign so long as the Sox offer slot, IMO. Too big a risk to go back to Vandy and have another heavy workload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (WhiteSoxLifer @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 07:32 PM) Love Carson Fulmer. Not because he's Sonny Gray 2.0. He isn't. Delivery isn't nearly as bad as others think, though, and stuff is monstrous. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/608060863644332032 Delivery isn't really mechanically bad but it is pretty high effort.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I like Fulmer but seeing that Stephenson was still there kinda bums me out. I know you don't draft for a need in the draft but still, it set up perfectly to do just that. Â I understand you can never have enough good pitching, and that the Sox have developed pitchers way better than position players but eh. Â Guess they could always trade pitching for hitting. Â Gonna be interesting to see what that rotation looks like in 2 years or so. Sale-Q-Rodon-Fulmer should all be there. Shark? EJ? Beck? Danish? Montas? Guerrero? Other?.....

BlackSox13 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Surprised to see Matuella still on the board 37 picks into the draft. Thought he was first rounder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Astros took Cameron at 37. Could be quite the draft for them if they are able to sign him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lean more to the player's natural talent rather than the player development. I'd bet you could take the likes of Keenyn Walker, put them in any organisation in baseball and they wouldn't have developed him into a major league player.

fathom Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 04:37 AM) Chances Matuella makes it to the fourth? If so, do you take him?  No, because he is unlikely to sign if picked so low by a team with a small draft budget. Considering the lack of picks for the Sox, you need to make sure you can sign the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 12:34 AM) No, but the term rushed is overblown IMO. Â i totally agree on overblown. Â it is a term that matches well as "damn if you, damn if you don't" Â in the hindsight game of looking at the past, rushing players is really not working. just recently i can think of 2 players that it didn't help the club, but in realty hurt the prospect. Eric Johnson, and Hawkins. Â pushing the players from A thru AA, ok, i can see it, now can you pls explain to me, why do it??? wouldn't it be better to fully develop a player?? Â how many times has it hurt, or better yet, lets say in the last 15 yrs, beside Sale, who else has it helped? pls don't include Rodon in that group b/c he is really not ready. he is still learning his craft.
