What may traditionally be a reach may seriously be a value pick here. If what sox saw in fall/few innings was influential on some changes...it’s a risk but this draft has a lot of unknowns from hereon out. Which isn’t to say “we just should trust the Sox” our chuck style just that I have more muted view this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I wonder if @Harold's Leg Lift likes this pick a little more than last year's first rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominikk85 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 The sox must give crochet at least a 30-40% chance to start to pick him there. If he is a closer that would be good too but as a ceiling that is not enough at 11 as there is also downside, Miller and hader were SP prospects at some point too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I would think best case scenario has Crochet in A and possibly AA in 21, with possible Chicago in 22. I don't hate this system gaining a high ceiling arm; you could argue very easily he's high floor and high ceiling in a position that our system can optimize.

This used to be true, but not as much anymore. I saw some speculation that the "sore shoulder" from earlier this year was actually an off-field issue. His other injury was a comebacker to the jaw.
