From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frank Thomas (1989) was a two-time
American League Most Valuable Player , and was a first-ballot
Hall of Fame inductee in
2014 .
The
Chicago White Sox are a
Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise based in
Chicago ,
Illinois . They play in the
American League
Central division. Since the institution of MLB's
Rule 4 Draft , the White Sox have selected 66 players in the first round. Officially known as the "First-Year Player Draft",
[1] the Rule 4 Draft is MLB's primary mechanism for assigning amateur baseball players from high schools, colleges, and other amateur baseball clubs to its teams. The draft order is determined based on the previous season's standings, with the team possessing the worst record receiving the first pick.
[1] In addition, teams which lost
free agents in the previous off-season may be awarded
compensatory or supplementary picks .
[2]
Of the 66 players picked in the first round by the Chicago White Sox, 32 have been
pitchers , the most of any position; 20 of them were right-handed, while 12 were left-handed. Twelve
outfielders , eight
catchers , five
shortstops , five
third basemen , and four
first basemen were also taken. The team has never drafted a player at
second base .
[3] Fourteen of the players came from high schools or universities in the state of California, and Florida follows with eight players.
[3] The White Sox have also drafted six players from their home state of Illinois.
[3]
One White Sox first-round pick is a member of the
Hall of Fame ;
Frank Thomas (1989) was elected to the Hall at his first opportunity in
2014 .
[4] One player has won a championship with the team;
Aaron Rowand (1998) was part of the
2005 World Series championship team.
[5] Thomas was a member of the White Sox for 16 years, including the 2005 season, but was not part of the World Series roster due to injury.
[6] Thomas is also the only first-round draft pick to win the
Most Valuable Player Award , winning the American League honors in both 1993 and 1994.
[7] One pick, 1987 selection
Jack McDowell , has won the
Cy Young Award with the team; he won it in 1993.
[8] The White Sox had the
first overall selection twice in the draft, which they used on
Danny Goodwin (1971) and
Harold Baines (1977).
The White Sox have made 16 selections in the supplemental round of the draft and 5 compensatory picks since the institution of the First-Year Player Draft in 1965.
[3] These additional picks are provided when a team loses a particularly valuable free agent in the previous off-season,
[2]
[9]
[V] or, more recently, if a team fails to sign a draft pick from the previous year.
[10] The White Sox have failed to sign three of their first-round picks:
Danny Goodwin (1971),
Steve Buechele (1979), and
Bobby Seay (1996). The White Sox did not receive any compensation for Goodwin or Buechele, but they did receive the 51st pick in 1997 for failing to sign Seay.
[3]

V Through the 2012 draft,
free agents were evaluated by the
Elias Sports Bureau and rated "Type A", "Type B", or not compensation-eligible. If a team offered
arbitration to a player but that player refused and subsequently signed with another team, the original team was able to receive additional draft picks. If a "Type A" free agent left in this way, his previous team received a supplemental pick and a compensatory pick from the team with which he signed. If a "Type B" free agent left in this way, his previous team received only a supplemental pick.
[10] Since the 2013 draft, free agents are no longer classified by type; instead, compensatory picks are only awarded if the team offered its free agent a contract worth at least the average of the 125 current richest MLB contracts.
[61] However, if the free agent's last team acquired the player in a trade during the last year of his contract, it is ineligible to receive compensatory picks for that player.
