Mayo saying there are now rumblings of Baltimore not taking Adley at 1. https://www.mlb.com/news/latest-news-2019-mlb-draft?t=mlb-pipeline-coverage

Seems like the recent mocks have the Sox more on Vaughn now instead of Abrams.

Law is on ESPN right now talking draft. He says the mock hes working on for tomorrow has Adley going 1, Witt 2, and Vaughn 3.

Fun game. Jonah Keri is on board too.

Team Timmy!

Just awful Bucknor.

Bummer is the new Fry. Let's hope it sticks.

Ace.

Maybe McCann should catch Eloy's next start.

Word. Seen a whole lot of he won't sign unless it's with the Mets or Yankees though. No idea how legit that is.

Fuck yea G.

Drafting Baty would absolutely lead to the most interesting draft as a whole. Imagine the depth you could add to your system with the potential savings on Baty. Baty is ranked around 15th to 17th for most publications. If you napkin math 15th slot compared to the 3rd slot value, you are saving roughly 3.3 million you can play with later. They could do a lot of damage with that money. Insulating a top heavy system would be very nice. Also there is plenty of risk there. Especially with AZ lurking with all those picks in the early going. I think I'm in favor of grabbing Vaughn still, but for sheer entertainment value I'd have fun seeing what they do after Baty.

I'm with you on this theory. Sounds like the Sox are trying to get some savings in one way or another to grab some overslot players later. This is the perfect time to leak some interest in other players with your 1st round pick to see if/who will blink.

All I know is we are going to see homers launched into space when he gets to the juiced balls in Charlotte.

Brilliant. Way to get out of it.

It's absolutely about soccer. All I know based on his twitter is he's been in AZ for quite a while now.

Crushed. Pimped.

Lucas. Wow.

It's so crazy. Going from one of the absolute worst pitchers in baseball to one of the best. Kudos to those who were patient. I never thought I'd be circling Giolito days on my calendar.

This is exactly what he projects to do. Law has him the top 25 prospects in baseball upon being drafted. I think you are severely underselling him.

A fake catcher that can hit the ball hard.

While Baty is interesting I kinda think it's a leverage ploy.

I wonder how much of this is kinda over-correction from Gorman.

For those curious on Baty. Here is BA's scouting report. They currently have him ranked 15th.
