When he signs.

Conspiracy now out that Red Sox are punting on purpose with York.

Red Sox drop a bomb.

I will say this much, the Sox know him better than anyone else and passed. Hopefully they know more than I do, despite my desire for Howard.

Wait the Cubs are gonna be in a pennant race in 4 years? This just keeps getting worse.

I don't care as much about the comp, but the deliveries were almost identical.

Ugh, not the Cubs.

The biggest fear factor for Crochet is health, which also happens to the thing the Sox do better than anyone else in baseball.

MLB ran side by side clips mirroring his delivery to one Chris Sale.

Love to see Howard, but hopefully if we go college they save a ton and get some hs talent later

Now the HS kids are going.

All colleges picks 1-7 so far.

The publicity scared them off.

Dates: Wednesday, June 10 (Round 1) | Thursday, June 11 (Rounds 2-5) Start times: 7 p.m. ET (Wednesday) | 5 p.m. ET (Thursday) TV channels: ESPN, MLB Network Live stream: ESPN app

The speculation is almost at an end, and draft day is here! Use this thread to talk about the actual draft and picks!

Good point. I will start a new one for the actual draft.

I am just thrilled to have actual baseball to talk about again. The thing I have missed more than anything the last three months is competitive sports.

We don't allow our insiders to use their real names to protect them from their hoardes of adoring fans. Screen names only.

If we are drafting him, hopefully we get a significant savings to be able to go big later in 2-5.

To try to get a player you want to drop his number to fit your draft spending plans.

He is one of the very first players I have a memory of at old Comiskey Park. Mostly because I remember someone bringing a sign to a game that said "Claudell Washington slept here"

Guys with no gap are either no ceiling high floor guys, or they are #1 picks.

If he is pushed to 2021, it is possible.

Guys with high floors and high ceilings are #1 draft picks. There aren't many of those players at all in a draft. There might be a few, tops. That is why they go off of the board so quickly. In the draft you are going to choose between more developed and limited ceilings versus lesser developed and higher ceilings.
