2020 MLB Draft Thread
The only prep player I want the Sox not to pick is Soderstrom. I’m tired of Wasting high draft picks that are very questionable with their defense position and being able to handle it ( Collins, Burger, Sheets) When in doubt go up the middle. That is an interesting concern Law brings up Detmers about Pitching every 5th day. You hope it wouldn’t be the case due to his size, but if he loses a little velocity- Big mistake

Really nothing on the White Sox other than they are very difficult to gauge. New directors handling the draft.

Mayo also didn’t have Howard in the first. Interested to see if he drops due to his medicals/Shoulder.

Would love for that scenario to happen. Doubtful Kelley will be there in the 2nd Round with teams with multiple picks.

Scary his body profile and has had shoulder issues. Breaking ball needs some work.

I’m becoming a huge fan of Hassell. Love his swing and has big time ceiling. Not sure he will be there with Rockies and Angels having interest. Would be very happy with Hassell selection. Does anyone know if the Sox have taken a liking to Hassell?

Law has his 3rd mock up. Sox selecting Detmers. Would love for that to happen!!! Also Chrochet not in the first round. Abel #7 to the Pirates hearing rumors they love him

Yes, he’s done it the last 3 drafts. Do you see Reinsdorf giving The ok to spend $20,000 spending of free agent players? My personal opinion and with the Sox losing money this year with no play Reinsdorf will sit on the sidelines.

Wow- He’s lost a ton of weight!!! Looks probably 30 pounds lighter from his videos during the Winter- 2020 MLB Draft Thread
I’m a fan of Dingler super athletic and has huge upside offensively and defensively. Sophomore numbers were down because of broken hamate. Might be a player you can cut a deal and have some savings for Rounds 2-3. Definitely early at #11, but it all depends on the Sox strategy. Going to be fun to see what teams will do to take advantage this Draft. I’m sure your going to see the typicals Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, etc. take advantage of the $20,000 signings. Sox will probably will take a back seat knowing Reinsdorf past history of being cheap. Baseball America mentioned Dodgers always had scouts watching Dingler’s games this Spring.- FS: Draft Profile-Garrett Crochet LHP Tennessee
Hard pass on Chrochet. Injuries and reliever risk. Has shown no evidence his arm can handle a starters load. Needs more development with his delivery. Has a short stride which causes shoulder injuries, which occurred this season.- FS Podcast ft. Eric Longenhagen of FanGraphs
Longenhagen is one of the best!!!- 2020 MLB Draft Thread
I’m not very excited about that pick. Gives up a lot hits/contact and hasn’t been dominant in the college ranks. Also, has had issues with his back. Take a pass on him. Rather go with with a hitter in the 1st and high ceilings pitchers with 2nd -5th. Just like last year.- 2020 MLB Draft Thread

Great team friendly deal!- Keith Law's Top 100 for 2020
He had Kevin Newman on his Top 100 twice. He was always the high man on Newman.- July 2nd Latest from Futuresox & our James
I’ll pass on Colas he’s been eating too many doughnuts.- Betts to Dodgers
Dodgers also received #67 draft pick from the Twins. In one of the strongest draft classes in years.- Betts to Dodgers
Totally agree Red Sox the big winner here. I’m a big fan of Jeter Downs. They needed a 2b. Verdugo 5 years, Downs, Wong, and a savings of $48 million for 1 year of Betts and Price whose a shell of himself.- Sox Have Deal for Norge Vera - 2020 Class
