As long as the Sox end up with the worst AL record, I'm cool with the 4th pick if it means Rodon, Giolito, Anderson, and Moncada are playing well.
Just don't go do anything too good and fall to 7 or 8. Unlikely, but that would suck.
Past weekend: Phillies 2-1, Sox 2-1, Giants 0-3, Reds 2-1

Jimenez is going to get the Kris Bryant treatment. He'll be ready, but the right thing to do is play the service time game. Whenever he can come up in 2019 to get the extra year.
