I don't disagree with paragraph 1, I'm just much, much more ok with it at 26. Did not want prep arms when we were in the top 15 ever. And I'm not sure I agree with paragraph 2, I know the acquisition is different but Cease/Kopech are huge ceiling arms, and they were still in A ball. Obviously had shown more than, say, a Kelly at that point. I don't really know what to do with the sox ever though. Ideally we create a pitching machine like the indians and draft uber command pitchers and develop velo and stuff into them. But the sox don't have that, but they have some track record, some, of harnessing big stuff at this point. Not sure where on the spectrum Giolito falls.

Alright so we aren't starting today at much of a deficit, will be interesting to see how today unfolds.

if he is being declared a fa he must have defected a while ago, so I don't think it's that crazy there is already a deal in place.

@Y2Jimmy0 any chance we'll get Schultz signing amt today?

future good hitter is the kind of analysis I love

It's not quite literally built on that. It also doesn't artificially cap player earnings like in NBA or have non-guaranteed contracts. And the earning power in MLB destroys the nhl. When we get to day 3 you can cry about this with me, but Noah Schultz is much better off being given the choice of millions to go play pro now or going to vanderbilt for 3 years. He chose going pro. Chose. Jack Leiter chose to go to college, I wonder why?

I think sox should try with Dunhurst, but I know in 5 years I'll be bored by him hitting .500 OPS in birmingham.

Forcing kids to go to college because you don’t want to pay them full salaries before they are productive vs giving them an opportunity to be paid while they learn the trade at lower levels is 100% better imo. The nba wasn’t being noble, they didn’t want to draft guys not yet ready to play and he “forced” into re signing them after only four years.

But they aren’t forcing them.

Also he chose to enter the draft

I would like to see the sox try on Trey Dombrowski and see if they can get a velo jump during his progression. Seems like Jake Madden feels more sox. Otherwise, I guess Cameron Smith.

Arizona Complex League

Except for the HS first baseman

Wow actually surprised. Has he backed off hating any pitcher that isn’t 6’4-6’6 with a beautiful compact delivery?

Before anyone looks I will just assume Keith Law hates the Pallette pick (and that’s ok)

With so little season they can do this year anyway he basically should be ready for next year for some moderate build up. Not the worst schedule.

Not a huge smaller RHP guy but after the first round I don’t care as much

It’s worse cause he’s their guy like every year. He just has nothing to do and has no friends, the perfect yankee rep.

Pick is in

Here we go, yanks pick is in.

Really rude of James not to consider our feelings

Will they answer the most important question I have about Tyler Locklear?

Yeah with him just feels like signability. With Whisenhunt just thinking he looks like shit in cape cod or something

So at this point I want Whisenhunt a lot, but also am doubting it since he is still there.

Missed that brewers grabbed Eric brown given his swing comps to Craig Counsell (brewers manager). Would be fun if he makes it.
