My only objection is that the guy they picked in the 2nd round is not of such value that you should pay overslot. Pay overslot for guys you pick after where their talent warranted.

I guess they are taking absolutely no chances that they can't get these guys for 10K. But they should be able to do better than this.

Can't they at least find a senior who is decent?

I understand paying over-slot to Dalquist and Beard, but Thompson was picked ahead of most projections.

Not with Thompson.

Like this pick.

The problem is prying a player from a Baton Rouge suburb away from LSU. People down here act like that place is a mecca.

Ordonez, Konerko, Durham, Crede, Foulke, Rowand, Buehrle, Baldwin, Marte... a lot of all star level talent. Plus they had players who people thought would be good but didn't turn out (that will happen with many on the current list) as well as filler similar to Tilson, etc.

It should be the best period of young talent, considering they turned almost every decent player they had into prospects. And but for a two spells of FO delusion, you could add Tatis, Semien, Phegley, Semien and Bassitt, all of whom would be on the major league roster. Then you would also have to subtract Burdi.

The pitchers I liked went bye bye in the comp round.

Sox should be able to get a good college pitcher in round 3 like Campbell or Marsh.

The guy they picked in the 3rd last season had a deterioration in his velocity as well.

I had a feeling the Sox would take a prep pitcher in round 2. they really could use the upside.

92 per Law; 69 per MLB

Sign me up, but are there signability issues? Thanks for the list. These competitive balance picks piss me off.

Well, who else are you looking at?

Reachy

He's got a sweet swing (Bleday doesn't). I presume the bat speed and all off that are up to spiff. Same risk of a 1B that exists with a corner OF. If you don't hit, you aren't going to make it.

Whew. Strange pick.

Presuming this is the Cubs' pick, I had my eye on him for round 2.

Except that one could move to 2nd.....

I'm afraid that you are correct

Prep

Hostetler's comments are ridiculous.

Sox made the right pick. If not Vaughn, I'd have gone a lot lower for some under-slot action.
