I came across good in that thread so I approve of the bump!

Jackie Robinson bro.

That's a big boy, jesus.

I guess some people don't know where "the besssssssssssssss" nickname comes from?

the "competitive balance" picks are absolute horse shit.

Wow, two lefty batting, toolsy HS SS. I am intrigued.

I def feel like it's 2000 in here with some of these RBI and BA based hot takes.

HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU A SOXTALK POSTER AND HAVEN'T SEEN THAT VIDEO TWO YEARS AGO WHEN IT LANDED LIKE A FAT GUY DOING A CANNONBALL IN THE POOL??????? oof. swing and a miss from a few of you. that video only went viral and was posted probably a dozen times or more here.

I can't fucking stand them. The God thing with Correa and Altuve, where God is actively guiding them through this is particularly off putting. Yes, God, if there is a God, is personally directing the fortunes of two guys who were involved in a cheating scandal that was brazen and cynical, even for MLB standards. GMAFB.

He’s got long levers see if he can put it together long term and make it work. Reports of his exit velocity with wooden bats had him good but not great from what I’m reading.

From the vids I saw of his basketball he looked like a pretty bog standard mid major recruit. Maybe a generic high 2 star with offers from like the Western Michigans of the world. Not a bad player by any means, obviously good enough to play D1, but his future is obviously in baseball. Good athlete, maybe a bit stiff for a MLB SS at the moment but plenty of time to work on that. To me the biggest question I have is his arm, and the biggest selling point I see is that he hits lefty. A lefty hitter gets a big boost and even if as expected he does eventually move down the defensive spectrum, say to maybe 3B or RF, hitting lefty really ups his value. I don't pretend to know enough about the other options to say if he was a good pick relative to the players available at #22 but I can certainly see the upside with him as a multi sport athlete that is currently a SS and hits lefty.

honestly reminds me of TA a bit, different players obviously, but a similar profile in the back half of the 1st round as intriguing SS.

i think the sox have earned the benefit of the doubt in the draft lately.

so who the sox gonna get?

that is unreal for them, whatever at least he's not in Detroit.

what a stupid ass pick by detroit.

I thought it was over when TLR was hired?

Cool, well remove my caveat then.

Unless Houston can rally from five down with their last six outs, Sox will head to the break as the best team in the AL. Mercy!

gonna need luck to achieve a WS, there was a little.

fuck no it doesn't. feels like 19 over, season HIGH WATER MARK HEADED TO THE BREAK!

WE WILL TAKE IT

TWO OUT

foster? WTF Tony.

that is complete fucking horse shit.
