00:00You've revealed to us that the White Sox apparently not entirely sold on Rock Chalowski,
00:08which just doesn't make a ton of sense given the way he is perceived around baseball.
00:16If you've got the number one overall pick in a draft,
00:20don't you want to be getting yourself the number one overall player in that draft?
00:27Yeah, but there's some scouts that say, you know what, I'd like the Georgia Tech catcher even better.
00:33Vaughn Lackey could be a shortstop if he wanted to, a tremendous athlete.
00:39There's the high school kid, too, Cody Emerson from Texas.
00:44It works two ways, too.
00:47He's got to want to be in the White Sox, and they have to agree to the right signing bonus,
00:53too.
00:53If he has some team say, you know what, we'll give you about $4 million more than this lot,
00:59well, he can tell the White Sox, I'm not coming, I'm waiting for another team.
01:05Well, let's talk about that.
01:06Are you getting indications that he's hesitant about the White Sox?
01:11Is he feeling like, and what could be the reason?
01:14Is it about money?
01:15Is it about the organization's recent history of losing?
01:18Is he reticent about a lot of things or reluctant to want to commit there?
01:25I think it's just about money.
01:27It's like, okay, I know what the slot value will be, but what if I have some other teams giving
01:34me a bunch more money a slot?
01:36He can certainly tell the White Sox, hey, I'm not signing with you guys.
01:41You're going to waste your pick.
01:43So he can certainly do that.
01:45We've seen that before.
01:46So it works both ways.
01:49He can make demands so high that White Sox will have to turn around and get somebody else like the
01:56Georgia Tech catcher.
