From Kiley's chat yesterday. https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-12-19-18/

I'm no expert and still doing research on this draft class, but I feel like it's going to take a combination of someone emerging with huge helium this year (Misner?), one of the Orioles/Royals wanting to go under-slot to allocate to later rounds, and the other team being enamored with Bobby Witt, for Adley to fall to 3. He's just so well rounded, so safe, plays a premium position, and will theoretically be quick to the bigs. Caveat. Still super early. Remember when Singer was going 1.1 this time last year? Though I feel Adley is a different animal.

Seems to be paywalled. I'll share top 5. Willing to answer further questions regarding the list as well.

Need a slight break from Harpchado mania? BA has it's first mock draft of the season. https://www.baseballamerica.com/rankings/mlb-mock-draft/

Neat. Girlfriend surprised me with a flight, hotel, and tickets for Christmas gift. Never been. Do any SoxFest folks get together for drinks?

caulfield gonna caulfield.

Interesting. I really figured they were going to be heavy on Grandal. Wonder if this indicates how they feel about landing a Harpchado.

He's laughing about his previous tweet and getting fans riled up about Harper.

This is my view too. I don't want a hasty splash because they missed out on the two difference makers.

Hope Barons fans like them some bunts.

Shrug. If they miss out on Harper and Machado they absolutely should dangle Abreu.

Edgar has to get in now...

It was originally. Mod pulled it out and made a new thread and locked the old one.

I kinda had a suspicion that the Sox are on the periphery of Realmuto. I know Kenny is salivating at his abundance of outfield prospect currency.

Sure. Because having balls in the air automatically equates to blowing your wad on the runner up free agent as a consolation prize. I meant they are likely looking at pitching options, inning eaters, backup catchers, trade opportunities, buy low candidates etc. We know where you sit though. Your posts make it clear enough. FWIW if the Sox don't land Machado or Harper I hope they stay the rebuild course. No reason to jump the gun a la the Padres last year.
