how?  I don't think there was any rumblings of him going much higher while there was legit rumblings of him falling.

Why? Because he's a college JUNIOR who throws 99 MPH with a 70 grade slider. He's not a senior. There was no season. Crochet has leverage. He is an elite talent who could easily go back to school and be 1-1.

As a college Jr with his lack of a history in this draft, I bet they did.  

This makes no sense. Juniors have plenty of leverage. Especially juniors in a year with so many questions, whom throw 99 MPH with elite secondary pitches from the left side who happen to be huge. Seniors have no leverage - even less than the zero they usually have. A junior still has a little leverage, and he can say he'll sign for less but it's not 1+ million less imo. No way. Not a guy with his talent in a unique situation.

He's a college JR who had two really medicore seasons, and pitched like a god for three weeks.  He also had a shoulder injury in that time.  If he goes back, he has zero leverage next year as a SR.  I have no doubt they saved some money just by the fact they obviously have a deal done with Kelley as well, so they know they can make him fit.

And FWIW Not Cishek is saying they got him (Crochet) under slot

I think they probably did but I think Not Steve Cishek should have retired his posting habits like 6 or 8 months ago.  He's right about the sun coming up in the morning every day at about 5:30 or so.

He has no leverage. He has no history. He will be underslot

I am agreeing they 100% can make them both fit. I'm saying they can not make anyone else fit.

He will not go for 20th+ pick slot. Arguing that is absurd, imo. At best, they get him for around 3.75. And then they're having to pay Kelley 3 to 3.5+ and again, the pool is spent. The draft is over for the Sox.

Let me clarify:

They got him under slot, but they got him for a lot less under slot than they just spent over slot on round 2. I think it's a lot less of a savings as you guys seem to believe.

Am I the only one who thinks Not Cishek is James Fox’s burner account?

I think maybe he rolls Hector Gomez's cigars.  I used to think that maybe there was some source loosely connected to the Sox which was serving both, but I think James has consistently better source(s).
