The Chicago White Sox face a strict $18,471,705 bonus pool limit heading into Saturday's MLB Draft. With the No. 1 overall pick, front office philosophy is being tested in real time: take the established college floor of UCLA's Roch Cholowsky, or gamble on the raw prep ceiling of 18-year-old Grady Emerson. The decision will immediately trigger a domino effect for the Rays and Twins at picks two and three. How heavily should an organization weigh current MLB bonus pool penalties against high-school upside? Let me know your thoughts on draft economics. #MLBDraft #SportsBusiness
