With these 2 picks + signing Vera IF they sign Colas and Cespedes, are they back to a top 5 farm?

Id say in the 5-7 range before the graduations.

Coffey went to ASU but couldn't hang so he transfered to a JC.  He has some tools but can't play.

Any chance he pitched when Nicolas faced Wabash?

[Chicago White Sox]

It was always likely they'd punt the 3rd pick after taking Kelley.  I still have hope they pursue semi interesting guys in the 4th & 5th.

Wabash Valley is a JC.

Adisyn Coffey is from Muncie, Indiana. 

I'm back ALL IN BABYYYYYY

I wish they would have taken BPA, and offered him slot. If he didn’t sign, get the extra pick next year.

If they don't sign - you lose the allotment (so that isn't really an option).

Yes saw video of Nicolas striking out 17 vs them

[HollywoodTim]

1st rounder slot: 4,550,000

2nd rounder slot: 1,580,000

3rd rounder slot: 733,100

5% draft pool overage = 388,240

= 7,251,340

We should definitely get a legit 4th and 5th rounder IMO

The Sox don't have any limit on what they can spend after Round 5, right? I know every player can only receive 20K at the max, but there is no cap on how many offers can go out, right? 

That's my understanding.

So the draft is over for the Sox though, right? These two will take up pretty much all of their pool in regards to signing anyone else of real sneaky talent. Doesn't mean they can't find someone seniors and etc.

Great draft, but sometimes I do prefer quantity - especially with the risk of SP's. That said, these two guys have great builds and upsides and could be exciting. Role the dice enough and things will come up how you hope.

How much money could the Sox really have left? They are kind of stuck now the rest of the way, no?

Ding ding ding. Harold and I on the same page. Sox just spent all their money on two pitchers. Risky for sure - high upside, big downside.

Here's my posts of "Absolutes." I was clearly implying the Sox draft was a 2 player draft. I said seniors because that's a frequent way of not spending. Sox went another route of a player not even ranked in the draft. Somehow these were absolutes. zzzzzzzz

Exactly, the math shakes out.

Coffee threw 3.1 inings this spring.  He was 12th on the team in innings pitched. He also had 14 Ab's.  Good for 10th on the team.

Ray I like you man, but you do speak in absolutes a lot.  It's not a big deal so I'd just let it go man.

That's going to be so interesting to see how teams handle this. I feel like we're going to look back at this draft "class", counting all those FA's signed after Round 5, and some teams are going to just clean up, while others sit on the sidelines. 

Yup, a little worried the big name teams will have an edge though which won't help us obviously.

Red Sox saved all that money for Blaze Jordan, apparently.

Fresh arm is what you are saying

It's going to turn these GM's into college recruiting coaches.

And I think you'll probably see some really interesting "packages" where 3-4 teammates go to an organization together. "I'll sign with you, but you have to sign my catcher and first baseman" 

I mean who knows, but I think it's going to be something really interesting to follow. Do we expect a ton of signings the next few days, or do we think this drags out? 

This where the Sox reputation for taking care of their own hopefully helps.

[HollywoodTim]

Really every team has a pretty good shot at the players who are willing to sign for 20k.  I mean how many opportunities are there to go around?  Sure your average guy would rather play for the Yankees or Dodgers but would you rather sit on the bench with them or get full playing time elsewhere?

I think the biggest drawback is the limited money.

Oh that was in the fall.  I thought you meant this spring.
