I’d love to produce more written content at FutureSox. I just have a family and a career and we can’t really pay anyone. It is what it is. I still break stories ahead of people who are actually paid to cover the team occasionally though. That’s always fun.

Griffin will be the cheapest Seems like Cleveland at 36 makes sense

Yeah he'd take at least $3.5 million I'd assume.

Makes sense. A lot depends on Cleveland. If Wetherholt doesn’t go 1, he’s on the board at 5.

They can basically spend $15.3 million on the whole class. Saving a little bit in round 1 would go a long way. Just depends who is on the board I guess.

This likely means that they're going underslot at 5 though. They'll need the extra $$.

Yeah it’s definitely a bad draft. The guys at the top are fine but it’s thin on high school position players. Really lacks HS talent and shortstops. The prep pitching class is really good but that’s frightening.

This team is totally gassed. They need a break.

Likely Riley Gowens

I'm not a fan of this class. Konnor Griffin is my preference because he has the most upside in the class. I'd be fine with Montgomery or Wetherholt as quick movers though.

Montgomery has a broken ankle. It’s really no big deal.

This is the first time throughout the process that I’ve heard Montgomery connected to Sox.

It’s Jim Callis actually.

That’s my guess right now

Sox sat on him at the regional. I doubt they’d be in on him if they feel he’s 2B only. I think Griffin is the current favorite.

I think Wetherholt can play SS. Changes things. They won’t take a pitcher He was at the Sox game?

Yes.

I mean you can believe whatever you’d like. He hasn’t implied that he’ll be the pick. The Sox have no idea who the pick will be right now.

I actually haven’t heard anything. I just know that the Sox like Bishop Letson so I found it interesting. Teams just aren’t really giving up impact position players in trades Agreed. I’d be very surprised by any Baltimore deal

In later rounds or at 5?

I wonder if it would alter the rest of their plan. I doubt Cags takes a discount.

What is going on in this thread?

Doesn’t seem super serious but rehab takes forever. It sucks

I’m legitimately stunned that another club claimed him. Definitely wasn’t expecting that.

Braves system stinks. I doubt they can get it done
