For those that haven't seen Santarelli before. Look at the freaking tree trunks on this kid. The power upside is stupid.

After sleeping on it I'm pretty excited about the current draft class. It's good. It's solid. But today it could turn into a great class. I imagine they have 3 to 4 million to play with. I feel like Santarelli is absolutely going to be one of the selections. If they could also add in a prep pitcher on top of that I would be pretty stoked. Eli Herst is one of my favorites. There are also a few guys we've heard linked with the White Sox that haven't been selected yet to consider. Sean Dunlap, Ethan Bass, and Dylan Boewen most notably. Hoping they take two decent swings today on guys. Fine with punting the rest.

Carlos Collazo loved the day one haul.

Wrong thread.

From Overslot on Teams with Money to Spend on Day 2.

Law liked day 1 for our Sox.

Just listened to Doyle's podcast recap for day one. Some notes below on the Sox. White Sox did what he expected them to do. Expects the Sox "to get real splashy on day 2." Heard Roch will get 10.5. Grady getting 10. Prosek is a pro hitter. 4th in the country in home runs. Can play SS, C, OF. Volchko gonna get you with 3K RPM breakers and could pitch in the bullpen right now. 🙃 Segura is a model darling. 4 pitches, low launch, great fastball/slider combo. Fixing his sequencing could be low hanging fruit. Starter profile.

I think I'm a bit "meh" at the moment. I'll be underwhelmed if they don't come away with some high upside prep dudes tomorrow. Roch is a great pick, you can't mess that up. I don't hate Thome, just was hoping for something a bit more impactful. I love the Prosek pick a whole lot. I understand the need for Volchko in the mold of a Grant Taylor/Gabe Davis type. Segura is whatever. Not super inspiring to me. Need to see the whole picture after day 2.

Catching up on the game I missed. Brooke said Roch was in the house and in the locker room for the Braden walkoff game. How cool.

It happened with Crochet 6 years ago and with Sale 16 years ago. Please give me more examples of them fast tracking pitchers in the same year they were drafted. Jack McDowell in 1987? I'll happily take this bet.

Here's the Volchko porn I was looking for.

I see @Y2Jimmy0 lurking. He might have some insight into bonus demands perhaps?

Brick is incredible value at this point.

Really hard to say. If you have Roch getting 10 million and everyone else getting slot, the Sox have about $4.3 million to work with which includes the 5% overage. I feel like Volchko might be getting over though. Maybe he's 1.5 million? I'm hoping some bonuses come out tonight via Twitter.

White Sox take Eric Segura. Feels like the White Sox are playing it straight.

Red Sox got Jace. First Boston pick I've liked.

There goes Keon Johnson. A late rumored name with the White Sox.

It's all guesswork at this point. We only know Roch is getting around 10 million.
