  1. Listening further, it sounds like it's gonna cause a lot of havoc or annoyance with the later first round prep types. The Orioles are gonna be calling up a bunch of those offering them more money with them, where in turn agents will be calling up the interested teams with higher picks telling them they have a higher offer and that they will need to match it or offer more for them to sign.
  2. There's a new Doyle podcast out where he says teams are scared of the leverage the Orioles now have with the amount of picks and money they have available. Talks about potentially calling up Carlson or Parker telling them they will have more money waiting for them at 19 than in the top 10 if they can make it to that pick. Then caveats there really isn't historical precedence of floating players that far and for that much money.
  3. Jace would be gross. I think I can talk myself into any of the other rumored names.
  4. Might be the first mention of Kayson Cunningham?
  5. Pretty much another worst case scenario again with BA's penultimate mock.
  6. Schoolcraft at 10 with Jojo on the board seems wild. This would have to be a substantial savings no?
  7. Agreed. Jace is such an Orioles pick.
  8. I'm not sure they've really employed the strategy you are suggesting. They definitely seem to like the idea of grabbing someone with 1st round grades with pick number 2 at a premium price (See Bonemer), but it wasn't at the expense of not taking the BPA with the first pick. Hagen Smith wasn't second tier. He was even paid over-slot by $300K. The money for Bonemer and others came from "punting" later picks. See picks 10, 9, 7, 6. We talk about it a lot during draft time but I don't think we've seen the White Sox truly reach and get a player that isn't arguably the BPA with pick #1 with the goal of it being a large savings to spread to later picks. At least not in recent years. Jacob Gonzales was under-slot, but he wasn't a reach. Just uninspiring. I think it would be pretty fascinating if they did get a substantial savings with pick 1 and see how that plays out. I imagine Kayson Cunningham would take a pretty big haircut. Steele Hall maybe saves you 500K since he probably has a landing spot with the Rangers? I'm really into the up the middle prep SS guys currently, but I still have this feeling it's going to be BPA college pitcher at 1 at little to no savings, then prep position player that needs to be over-slotted with pick #2, and punting some of the 6 through 10 picks again. Pretty much a duplicate of what they did with the 2024 class.
  9. This sure sounds like they might take Seth Hernandez if he falls. Though I wouldn't expect that to happen. @Harold's Leg Lift You alive brother? Don't let the trolls win.
