They always spend with a few dollars of their cap. This is the one thing that the Sox do very exacting.

There is zero chance every single one of these guys succeeds to the point where they are fighting for the same positions. Zero.

You know it's very likely that this never happens. Almost certain in fact. Betting every prospect will hit their ceiling in the ultimate in self delusion.

Dude thinks if you go underslot it destroys your draft.

Except Colson't mojo is shot recently.

Boy, make this one change and you are talking about Jerry circa 1988 when he got Tampa to already build him a stadium in another state and was set to leave for it if he didn't get a fully paid with other people's money for a taxpayer stadium he was demanding.

The weird fear of public transit is wild to watch. I mean being born and raised in NWI, obviously car culture is a thing, but everytime I travel for work to Chicago, NYC, DC, etc, outside of a trip to the airport, the public transit systems in those cities are so superior to any other mode of moving around, why WOULDN'T you use them if possible? Between the Jerry Reinsdorf parking tax at the parks, the price of gas, tolls, congestions and everything else that goes with it, if you get me within a few blocks on cheap convenient transit, I am in.

But just that stuff though. Everything else which doesn't question, is completely accurate, of course.

And it works the opposite way too. Confirmation bias.

Except that wasn't what was said, but nice spin.

Apparently you can't make mistakes if you are getting a paycheck from a major league team. Who knew?

You have Jerry's attention.

Eh, it's more like American attention spans on to the next shiney thing.

Without underslot, there is no overslot, except for the 5%. You don't get the next anyone without saving money somewhere else.

Because they believe he can be taught to hit. Average hit tool, plus elite defense is a nine figure SS.

Seems like the grindiest ones are the easiest to grind up.

Correct. This is no wifi, just open air signal Verizon

Stay trolly.

So you want less high ceiling, overslot high school picks. Got it.

And Ron would rather troll than contribute.

You're a Sox fan. Your life IS suffering.

Really the question is do you want to set yourselves up to go overslot in the 2nd, 3rd, maybe 4th, and then again with 2 to 3 picks after the 10th. Don't think of it as where you go under, but as a total package. If you don't go under somewhere, you can't go over somewhere else. Are a few senior signs worth an extra HS pick or two?

He also didn't retreat very quickly. He kept his secondary until after the catcher threw through instead of immediately retreating when the batter didn't offer. Not sure what he was waiting for, because he didn't get either a big lead, nor a running lead.

There is no force though. He can't get caught further out than the 3b.
