For example, the slot of pick 4 this year was about 4.5 million. The slot for pick 7 this year was 3.2 million...... Thats an extra 1.2 million the Sox could be throwing at a kid later in the draft who falls, or use to sign the guy they want. This draft especially is VERY top heavy, so you want to be picking high and have choices. This is a draft that could revamp our entire minor league system. I would much rather have an extra million and change in draft money than finish 4th.

Well, to think about it this way, the difference between that money would probably have signed Octavio Rodriguez, maybe the 2nd highest ceiling we draftedthis year in terms of pitchers. Is losing a kid like that worth finishing 4th?
A few years ago, yes, I would not have cared because we would have screwed up a top 5 pick anyway by going cheap. But with money you can use based on where you pick, it really does make a difference. |

No. No. NO! As a fan of this team you really want them win some meaningless games and fall down in the draft? There is PLENTY of difference between a top 3 pick and a 8-9-10 or later pick.
A 100 loss season is worth drafting a talent of THIS caliber: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...s_mlb&c_id=mlb And besides, I want THIS lost season to be rock bottom. Get all of the losing out of your system White Sox, it can only be up hill 2014 and beyond. |

I realize all the cool kids around here are rooting against the team now, but let's be honest: neither LeBron, nor Andrew Luck, nor .133-hitting uberprospect Mike Olt are available in next year's MLB draft. The Sox aren't getting the No. 1 pick. Houston has a lock on it. I'm sorry. The Sox draft position will take care of itself. It is completely pointless to root for such a thing, especially when you don't know who you are getting anyway.

The White Sox are coming! Watch out twins with only 1.5 lead. We have passed the cubs.
Hahns moves looking good. Traded away a few injury prone players and a player who sometimes loafs. Saved a boatload of cash and we are playing better. |

Theo the Genius strikes again by passing us by for for the higher draft pick! Seriously though, I'm glad the Sox are looking respectable now. I just want them to draft/sign better players regardless of where we finish in the standings.

We need a top-3 pick. This run we've been having is nice, but it only helps the young players that are on the team now.
Our schedule is significantly tougher the rest of the way with the big east coast road trip and multiple series with the Tigers and Indians. So I still think we're going to end up with that top 3 pick. |

We aren't going to get a top 3 pick. We are playing well and I see a few more teams that we can catch. I think maybe a 7thru 10 pick. Sale wasn't a top 3 pick.
I am not worried about the schedule. We have recently taken series from NYY, KC, DET and Texas. I rather play good teams who have something at stake. Play the spoiler and help build team confidence. |

You are correct, Sale was a homerun pick. But the following were also not Top 3 picks---Mitchell-Beckham-Poreda-McCulloch-Broadway-Fields-Anderson-Ring-Honel etc. A lot of strikeouts for that one homerun.
