BA Mock 1.0. I'd be elated to get Smith. Top of the class has plenty of fine options for picking #5. I also wouldn't mind Montgomery in this spot. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/2024-mlb-mock-draft-1-0-charlie-condon-jac-caglianone-make-strong-impressions/

Braden takes Cags deep.

Burns sure is high energy. Marches around tons, talks to himself, K struts. I love it. He also works very fast.

Edit. Wrong thread.

Burns pitching against a very good Virginia team. Strikes out the side on 12 pitches in the first.

I'm perfectly fine with any of those options.

You must really believe in Kurtz's bat. That's one profile I want the Sox to stay far away from and I think they will.

Kurtz hurt himself last night and it sounds like he's out the weekend.

God Skenes is nasty.

Cough.

I actually haven't watched either of them this season. I think I'm too scarred by the last college 2B the Sox took early. They just don't seem like high impact players and I would prefer other options currently.

Is Wetherholt hurt still?

Montgomery, maybe Brecht, and whatever prep bat Shirley is into. Which might be Rainer? Someone tell me how to feel about Bazanna/Wetherholt.

So it sounds like we should start to pay attention to Rainer with the White Sox is what I'm gathering.

I like the deal plenty. Thorpe is just about a top 50 prospect, Zavala has a great profile, and I like what I'm reading about Iciarte. I could see him making a big jump. This is a pretty significant injection into the farm system. Let's see what we can do with them.

Here's the BA scourting report on Zavala. Good get.

Zavala in the deal. Cool with that.

So BA has Iriarte as a breakout potential pitcher. Posting for the non subs. He sounds fun.

Will be #58 on Baseball America's preseason top 100. He's definitely the headliner.

I actually didn't realize Thorpe was regarded as a mid 100 guy. The players mentioned plus Head sounds about right for a return.

Looking like a volume deal if no Lesko or Snelling. Psyched for Head though.

We better get one of Lesko/Snelling...
