Big yikes at this post.

That is one hell of an uninspiring lineup. Will tune in for Lambert though.

Draft chat has started for those that are interested. https://www.baseballamerica.com/chat/?1551967050

I would love for both Baltimore and KC to get cute with money, cutting deals to have monetary flexibility etc. Adley is the dream.

Draft chat today with BA in like 30 minutes. Get those questions in! https://www.baseballamerica.com/chat/?1551967050

Yea. The need and fit is evident. 1B will be open. He shouldn't need tons of development time. The hit and power tools aren't in question. The batting eye is extremely sexy. Lord knows the Sox need some high OBP players. He wouldn't be a reach at #3 either. Also, an aside. I know scouts think he's pretty much 1B only, but in the recent Baseball America article, Vaughn expresses confidence in the ability to play a 3B or OF. Probably a small chance that happens, but might be worth mentioning.

I'm in love with Vaughn right now. But I'm not sure it's love love, or just the comfort that he's probably the least fuck-up-able from a player development standpoint (Assuming Adley is gone).

I haven't heard/read any intel yet on KC. Probably because it's so early still. At this point, looking at draft tendency/trends might be our best bet if we are trying to glean something.

Don't think it was posted, but they expect Robert back on Thursday.

I wonder why Adolfo would be delayed considering we've seen him in spring training games already.

Good call. I'll use this opportunity to post BA's Bleday scouting report. This has probably changed some considering the rise in stock, as it was posted on January 25th.

Fangraphs Draft Update: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/instagraphs/another-draft-rankings-update/ Some other good tidbits within as well.

If the Sox are "forced" into one of Witt/Abrams, for the love of god please take the one who has a better hit tool (Abrams at this point?). That's one area I simply have no confidence in as far as player development goes.

I'm fine with many of the options at the top right now. I feel like there's no chance Adley slips to three. Fangraphs even upgraded him to a 60 FV recently. That being said, it will be interesting to look at the draft tendency of both Baltimore and KC. Baltimore has a new scouting director I believe. We know that Vaughn fits the White Sox drafting trend to a T. That's assuming he gets there though.

Newp.

I wouldn't mind getting a look at new (old?) Fulmer, as well as Medeiros too.

Ho-hum. Vaughn 4-5 tonight with two 2 run HRs.

I know there is someone on the Lodolo train around here. Wouldn't mind seeing a pitcher shove their way into the top 5 mix.
