Major League Draft

[GoShockers89]

Impressive showing so far by the Shockers, should bode well for recruiting.

And speaking of recruiting, so far we have been lucky...

Holy Cow! Royals took Melville! That's a big statement that they are ready to spend some cash.

I heard he dropped from the 1st round because he sent a letter out to the big leagues clubs telling them not to draft him because he was going to college. Hopefully the Royals can talk him out of that, or it was a waste of a pick.

anyone else get drafted? Can someone in the know, list our Shockers drafted, what pick they were, what round, and who picked them?

Conor: 37th to the Giants
Shafer: 65th to the Cubs
Capra: 124th to the A's

[SubGod22]

I take it none of the recruits have been picked up yet...

I think I'm about to log off as we have a full house of people down in the basement.....just in case.

Yep, he wants top 20 money. Obviously the Royals knew that going in so they are either prepared to meet it or think he is bluffing.

It will cost the Royals at least 1.5 to sign him...unless he gets the home team discount.

That should be a no brainer for a potential #2 starter. A first round talent in the 4th round is a pretty valuable draft. Think of the riff raff teams pay $1.5 to at the big league level to round out a roster.

[lawmaker]

A little bit different than offering a 4th rounder 1.5 million when the slotted money is around 150k.

Having your dad as GM sure helps, White Sox take Kenny in the 6th round, pick 180.

[shockfan89]

KWJ just went #180 in the 6th round to the White Sox.

Edit: Sorry TMH. You beat me to it!

[newshock1234]

i figured that would happen

As did I, but I am surprised by how high in the draft they did it, even with the situation being what it is.

[JaminShock]

KWJ goes to (who else?) the ChiSox in the 6th round, pick #180.

That seem a tad high to anyone else?

Edit: Man you people are quick. :)
