Zach Isler drafted 8th Round Chicago White Sox

[Clyde]

I believe Eric Glaser went in the 2nd round back in 1997 to the Bo Sox. He was from HHS.

 

69th overall.

 

Some good players in that round.

Ice is gone, you can take that one to the bank!

BTW will get to see Ice in spring training as the White Sox spring training site is in Arz and my lovely daughter and my son-in-law will be stationed in the Goodyear area then.

Congratulations to Ice. I know his sister and the rest of his family are very proud of him. Best of luck and hope to see you in the show ice.

Do all draft picks get invited to spring training? I did not think that was the case.

But special ones do and besides, I can hope now can't I!:clap:

He could be out there in the AZ fall league.

It is a done deal. Zach leaves Saturday and is headed to Arizona. Good luck Zach!

Awesome news. No surprise. Glad Zach is getting his career going.

That is great. Super nice kid from a super family. Really hoping he makes it big (so I can get him to autograph a bunch of stuff and put it on eBay - haha).

Update: Zach has not actually signed yet. Sounds like it's getting very close.

[Clyde]

It's official according to NKYsportsblog.com . Just signed.

Zach Isler has agreed to terms with the Chicago White Sox. He's headed to Arizona for a week or two and then likely Montana or Virginia.

So do they get the money for whatever you signed for right away and then just make whatever the minor league salary is?

Correct. The bonus is a lump payment. They then get a salary that , I believe, is based upon the level they play.

 

I believe the beginning salary is in the $900/month range.

Ice has been assigned to the team in Great Fall, MT. Here is the website for the team. He stays in Arizona until Sat and then fly's out. The season starts next Mon.
