A typical 40 round draft is really more like an 8 round draft anyway. There are like maybe 5 guys in the first 10 rounds and then a few overslots.

MiddleCoastBias Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 If Crochet is really going to be paid at slot and we're going to pay Kelley, it makes sense that #3 and #4 aren't nationally ranked in any publication. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominikk85 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I like Kelley and crochet is not bad either but are the sox even spending all of their bonus pool? Don't like they are punting so much. Sure Kelley will be over slot quite a bit but crochet is probably at least a mil under slot so they should be able to pay kelley and still get somewhat decent picks and not just unranked guys.

ChiSoxJon Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Personally would have went Howard over Crotchet, but I'm fine with Crotchet, high upside Kelley in the 2nd is such a steal, awesome to see, makes me feel better about Crotchet Punted in the 3rd and 4th, maybe add a nice 5th or some UDFAs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of money isn't there. A lot of people aren't going to get paid, period. Just getting to the point where a MLB team is willing to draft you and spend 100+k is a ceiling most of these guys won't ever hit again. The idea of a HS with "leverage" is way overblown and a bunch of kids cut out of payment in this draft aren't going to get there next time around.

Jack Parkman Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 14 minutes ago, Tony said: I at least like swinging for the fences rather than playing it safe. I know it was ages ago, but this is the same franchise that took Broadway and McCullough in back to back years, maybe the “safest” picks of all-time and we saw where it got them. Roll the dice, try and really cash in with your best assets. Don’t hate it I'm in between here. I think they could have taken a different HS SP with upside that didn't require them to punt more than their 3rd rounder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
