Go college pitching heavy the rest of the draft and that could be a really good draft.

If the Sox could shave off 500K from both Contreras and Thome and turn this into a 5 player class with another prep bat/arm I would actually be over the moon.

How is this different from "don't sell"?

He concentrated a lot on football in high school, according to several of my buddies with connections to LT. That could be part of his issue with secondaries.

If Getz wants to get crazy and take a big risk, trade Hudson for the #34 pick and replace him with Hagen in the bullpen this year.

You guys are such losers. Buy all day. Go follow the blackhawks if you want to cheer that s%*#.

Sox fans dare to expect a consistent winner.

Nothing has changed. You avoid adding rentals, especially those that will come at a significant cost. If there is a piece you can add that you are convinced will be a contributing member of the team next year (and/or beyond) and the cost is not prohibitive, then get aggressive. But stay the course

Actually seen Slightom as my best pal is a varsity coach in conference. My concern there is he really doesn't have any secondary stuff right now. The change is getting some love but I'm not sold. Seems like a pretty big project but obviously great upside and a very good athlete. I would prefer contreras personally.

I agree. But he could be part of a trade.

He was a raw high school pick a year ago. You put him in low A and let him play and see what happens. Forget about him until next decade.

Just poking a little fun at posters like @flavum and @Green Line . They want accurate time zone abbreviations, so they will get them!

Continue to develop him for the next three to four years like they would any first year prep player

I'd love it if we got those 4.

What do you mean? He's a prep player that needs to play and develop. He's returning soon from the broken finger and will continue to play and develop. He's years out. Patience.

He has 4 years to develop. Patience.

All these Detmers proposals make me want to barf..

Why isn’t the time in CST

You are correct sir, buy and hold the SP500. BamaDoc and Texsox also point out simple basic investing that is solid advice.

From Kiley's Mock on that Pirates pick. #34.

I hope they give him and Fauske every opportunity to turn into legit big league players, I have high hopes for both I would be pissed if they trade them at their lowest possible value

Interesting that we've now heard Santarelli from both Kiley and Joe Doyle. The power is so tantalizing, but corner prep profile when all is said and done. Slightom would be a huge get, but I have this feeling he doesn't make it to 41. Would feel a lot better if the Sox had that Pirates pick. I like Thome, but I think it depends on cost for me. I don't think he has this immense upside. I see him more as a 3rd round pick, but probably doesn't make it there. Contreras would be a fun one to get, but there are a few other prep arms I think I would take in his stead. Especially if the Vanderbilt tax puts him in the 3+ million range. I would be pretty stoked with the those picks overall, but that's pretty much the entirety of your draft class I would wager. You actually might come up slightly short unless some of these "nepo" picks "cut" a deal. From the Over-Slot simulator which isn't perfect, but is probably the best we will do for bonus demands outside of @Y2Jimmy0 having intel on asks: Roch 9.5 Thome 2.5 Slightom 2.5 Contreras 3.0 I would be okay with this being the entirety of the draft class. I know that some others would take umbrage at it being a 4 player class, but sign me up.

What are they gonna do with him? It's tough to evaluate him. Drafted in first round last year, and then he only played in intrasquad games in 2025. Then, he played in 30-40 games at Kanny this year before his injury.

Friday night with Mune in the house, the Rate will be rockin'.

Need a win tonight. Mune should be back. Burke will look to stay hot. Lineup will be added to this original post when it’s available.
