Jordan Danks Back to UT ?

[Barton Hills]

Sounds like we're about 72 hours from this actually happening ... both sides playing hardball.

PLEASE come back #15.

Drafted in the 7th round, asking for 2nd round money.

I have a hard time getting behind players that do this. I'd be curious to know what the players drafted around him got.

New mantra for 72 hours:

*don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* *don't blink White Sox* .......

I'm not going to hold my breath b/c the White Sox can't be that stupid, but it would be awesome if he returned.

 

[madscientist]

72 hours is a long time. i'll **** a solid gold turkey if he doesn't sign.

 

[petscii]

I refuse to get my hopes up, but it would be awesome if he returns.

 

[Horn@AC]

There's just no way... I bet he settles for less before the deadline, no way he passes up a sure thing (being in the pros) for more money.

Now go out and prove me wrong!

So is Jordan asking for more or less than the player drafted three spots behind him received?

 

[madscientist]

you older guys may be used to this by now, but I can't belive that kids born in 1990 are now professional baseball players.

 

[l00p]

I just can't see how coming back is a remote option, wow. This will be interesting.

Jordan wants 2nd round money!!

 

[SA_Town_Horn]

I pray to God that he comes back

 

[Vince4Heisman]

A son of a buddy of mine got 2nd round money after being drafted by the yankees.....6th round pick...check him out, brett marshall...deal woth over a 1Mill

 

[iowahorn11]

I'd like to know more specifics about the "2nd round demand." There's quite a wide range on the slotting in round two. The bonuses listed on Perfect Game range mostly from 550 to 900K with a 1.1M outlier from the Nationals who seem to overslot as much as the Yankees, and that kid had all the leverage in the world (going to Bama for football).

FYI, the Sox paid their third rounder 440K (right on slot it would seem), but they didn't have a 2nd rounder so we cant compare.

Here's a link to the bonuses for the top 10 rounds.The Link

Interesting show. I will tune in on 8/16, not before.

Won't Danks be a senior? Senior's don't usually go higher than a junior or a 21 year old would.

Josh Fields, the relief pitcher from Georgia, is another example in this years draft. Came back to school, had a great year and improved his draft status considerably.
