Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 11:40 AM) I don't think I necessarily agree. If we are taking less than our share of the top 200 or 500 that means somebody is getting more than their share. If they can do it, why can't we? It's about pool $$. The Sox had like $9.5 million to spend on the draft. Their 1st pick is taking the full $3.3 million allotted, Burdi is probably close to the $2.2 million slot amount there and I would imagine that Hansen is slot as well. You can't just take the BPA on the board each time because guys wouldn't necessarily sign. For example, they took Michael Hickman in round 13. If he's over $100,000 he counts against their overall draft pool. They took 3-4 guys that will be under slot to save some $$ to sign Hickman and probably Ian Hamilton. It has t be done this way. If they took Hickman in round 7 and he doesn't sign, they don't get the player and they lose the ability to spend the money for that allocated slot.

If they took Hickman in round 7 and he doesn't sign, they don't get the player and they lose the ability to spend the money for that allocated slot. I understand all this. The Sox approach meant they ended up with less of a share than others, who had the same constraints, and used a different path to more talent in terms of volume of top rated players. So are we less efficient with our dollars, or top heavy, and how do we differ from the teams that have had the best success in the draft since the new system was put in play? I understand how we got to where we got to, but are we laggards in understanding how best to work this system like we are in the international market? Ithe seems like our approach is to put all of our money on the top players and gamble that they'll succeed while hoping one of the cheap buys is a steal.

Ithe seems like our approach is to put all of our money on the top players and gamble that they'll succeed while hoping one of the cheap buys is a steal. The problem is that the bonus pools at the top of the draft are way too high. That allowed Atlanta and Philadelphia to do what they did. Teams picking where the White Sox are picking don't have that luxury. They could have taken Lux at 10 and signed him for $2 million and someone else at #26 and signed them for $1 million and theoretically landed more players from the top 200. More isn't always better though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:29 AM) See my note in round 1 thread. Hostetler said most of their scouts think he can start. They'll decide next offseason whether to stretch him out Let's hope they do. For #26, it shouldn't be a question. You draft a starter, not relief pitcher that Hahn can rush up.

You draft a starter, not relief pitcher that Hahn can rush up. Tyler Jay was drafted 6th overall out of Illinois in 2015. He was a reliever all 3 years there. He finished up his draft season as a reliever, but was converted to a starter this season where he has been tearing it up through 10 starts. Has allowed only 2 HR on the year, has a K/9 over 9, and an ERA just over 2. Dave Bush was drafted 55th overall out of Wake Forest. He was a reliever all 4 years at Wake. He was immediately converted to a starter and ended up starting nearly 200 major league games, accruing a career WAR just short of 11. Despite his horrid ERA, he actually had a few pretty solid seasons early on in his career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 QUOTE (CB2.0 @ Jun 13, 2016 -> 07:44 AM) raBBit - Assuming Collins signing goes as planned; what is a REALISTIC timetable for him? 1-3 years, best case, never, worst case - the latter goes without saying, but is unlikely. However, guys that show patience but mediocre plate presence need to take a step forward. So, to answer the question for raBBit...nobody knows. QUOTE (GreenSox @ Jun 14, 2016 -> 07:21 PM) Let's hope they do. For #26, it shouldn't be a question. You draft a starter, not relief pitcher that Hahn can rush up. Yes, you draft a starter that you don't rush up as a reliever, and then let him spend a year as a reliever in the majors before he turns into one of the best starters in the majors. Oh, you mean Burdi, and not Chris Sale. My apologies. EDIT: I f'ed that last part up. Chris Sale did spend 2 years as a reliever. If they think Burdi can be a starter, and he works out, then awesome. If he can add something this year (without giving up a walk-off grandslam....again), then who cares? That's immediate value out of the draft. If he can't, no big loss.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Draft update post on Future Sox, including a bunch of reports we got ourselves (in addition to those being reported elsewhere). We've got about a dozen signees and another 6 or so that are on the verge, confirmed. Talked with some of the players. By the way, SoxPride18, I noted a "second hand report" about Cashman, and it's really you. Just wasn't sure how to credit you, haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
