Very nice.

If we saved a decent amount on Crochet, no. Not even close.

Crochet has a slot of $4.5 million. If he takes say a million dollar haircut, they can pay Kelley $2.5. If Crochet signs for $3 million they can also push about $3 million to Kelley. Both of those figures are without the extra 5% they can go over without penalty, which amounts to about $385k extra. So a scenario like Crochet signing for $3.5 means they could move the other million over to Kelley, plus the other almost $400k they can go over without penalty would put Kelley right at $3 million.

Depends on how much they save with Crochet.

Ew, Rochester? I am sorry.

Glad to see this happen!

Coop is a fan

This is a pretty big gamble for the Sox. The kids track record is pretty minimal. He added a lot very recently, and hasn't had much time to show it off. This is the kind of kid that could have been a top 3 pick with a 2020 season, or he could have fallen into the middle rounds if he reverted back to his freshman and sophomore seasons. I would be curious, if the Sox didn't pick him, where would Crochet have been picked?

It isn't as simple as that. Abel probably takes up the entire draft slot money. Crochet should allow us to get a greater high school player later on, where with Abel. that probably doesn't happen. Instead of a high ceiling guy in round 2, we are looking at a slot level college pick.

The question becomes is Crochet plus Kelley worth Abel + a lesser college player (mostly likely an at slot deal pick)

The Commish yesterday during the draft flat out stated that there will be baseball in 2020.

That's it. I was a young pup when it happened.

A side bar to this is they interviewed the kid after the draft and he fully admitted to modeling his slider after Chris Sale.

This sounds like a guy that Don Cooper would like.

This sounds like a White Sox draft pick. They regularly dabble in coverting/ed players.

If we save a million on Crochet, that would translate to about $2.6 million available to use on their 2nd round pick without hitting into the extra 5% overage that has been allowed in the past. Who knows what his number looks like, but I imagine they are saving something here.

I love having you on the board. One of these days I need to buy you a beer or something at a Sox game.

Where does Ginn get drafted if he wasn't hurt? Is his injury something that is because of his motion and could repeat?

Probably has a deal with someone and warned off other teams.

The Danish thing is fantasy.
