QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:47 PM) The rumour is that Rodon's demand is $6m. That's only a couple hundred thou over the Sox slot. Mightn't need much savings. Mightn't need any at all if they get him at slot for a promise of a quick promotion. It's certainly what I'm hoping as there is plenty of talent still on the board.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:46 PM) KC drafting a Catcher with Perez signed long term huh? I'm not sure he's a catcher long term. Either way, he's a long ways away.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:44 PM) Now 9 players left on the Baseball America Top 500 that are ranked higher than the Sox pick, 3 picks to go: 19. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP 20. Monte Harrison, OF 21. Jacob Gatewood, SS 23. Spencer Adams, RHP 33. Jacob Bukauskas, RHP (signability issues) 36. Nick Burdi, RHP 40. Michael Gettys, OF 41. A.J. Reed, 1B 42. Joe Gatto, RHP Unless Reid-Foley, Harrison and Gatewood go in consecutive picks, the Sox will have the chance (bonuses obviously a factor) to get a BA Top 21 rank at 44. I'm guessing they go off the board for some Rodon savings.

QUOTE (Vance Law @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:42 PM) I'm sure I already missed this discussion, but why hasn't Reid-Foley come off the board yet? I'm guessing his asking price at this point.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:38 PM) Adams, Foley, or Gatto would make me happy. No chance they take Baukauskas. Also if the Sox had any aptitude for fixing players swings, Gettys would be awesome. All the other tools are bonkers.

Adams, Foley, or Gatto would make me happy. No chance they take Baukauskas.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:32 PM) Other than the few I PM'ed. This was a hard secret to keep. Jeez. Hmm?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:31 PM) Anybody interested in AJ Reed at #44? Power-hitting LH 1B. Not high on him.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:25 PM) Cardinals take Flaherty He be expensive.

f*** you Red Sox.

With the lack of college hitters in this class, kind of surprised Derek Fisher is still available.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:08 PM) Man, we could get a choice of Gatewood, Gettys, Reetz, Davidson, or Burdi. I'd take any of those guys. Remember, signability needs to be taken into consideration with the Rodon selection. Not likely the Sox can go significantly overslot.

So which super toolsy raw athlete do the Rangers take? I'll guess Monte Harrison.

There goes Weaver. Cards will make him amazing. They do that.

Awww. Chavis to the BoSox. It seems teams I despise always take the players I like.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:35 PM) Wish list for round 2? Is the closer from Florida St. any good? For me: Kopech Weaver Luis Ortiz Gatto

Pirates might have a surprise pick evidently.

Derek Hill to the Tigers? He is not their type! Where is the power armed reliever selection?! Nothing makes sense anymore.

Really like Grant Holmes. Think he's a steal here.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:00 PM) Worked out well with Giolito. Not knocking it at all. A feasible approach. They also drafted an injured Rendon.

Also, Nats love them some TJ.

Reds taking Nick Howard. He could be in the bullpen this year with a chance to start. This has to push Burdi to Detroit right?

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:44 PM) Handsome Monica? Probably takes the award for weirdest, but definitely not better than Duke Newcomb or Touki Toussaint. Last year Stryker Trahan and Storm Throne were some pretty great ones. This year has a Maverick Buffo too. Pretty sick.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 07:40 PM) Sean Newcomb would be the choice for best name if his parents named him Duke Newcomb instead. Touki Toussaint probably takes that award, at least on Day 1. Nope. There is a player in this class with the name "Handsome Monica." Can't touch that.
