Shields is still an MLB pitcher. Probably not on a contending team, but there is a long list of guys starting games in the MLB that are worse than James Shields (dollars put aside).

Twins needs pitching and their window is now. Sano, Buxton and Rosario all FA after 2021. Their price would be astronomical. Not sure 2 top 25 prospects and a couple interesting throw ins get in done.

More than you want to give up. I'd imagine he'll be on FG top 50 trade values.

Yoan hits the ball hard.

The silence is concerning.

This is pretty cool. Good for the Sox for doing that.

Strange. Bummer has been just fine. I'd rather see Bummer up here than Beck or Volstad.

Put Yolmer in the OF and Davidson at 3B if need be.

I want Palka in the lineup.

Thank you, Sir. Exactly what I was looking for.

Somewhat ignorant question for those in the know....how do the slot values work for rounds 11-40? It looks like the slots go away after the first 10 rounds - how much money does each team have to spend on rounds 11-40, and can they allocate that however they please? Thanks for the info.

Super interesting day 3 so far.

Carranza seems like a great value at this point.

Isaiah Carranza in the 11th.

Blaze Alexander off the board.

From that link on Maldonado: Kelvin Maldonado is a 2018 SS/IF with a 6-0 160 lb. frame from Santa Isabel, PR who attends Puerto Rico BB Academy. Nice athletic build, very projectable physically. 6.54 runner, has very solid actions on defense, moves to the ball with light feet and smooth balanced footwork, easy athletic actions, has a quick release and makes accurate throws, played very well on the left side in games and showed better arm strength in games than in drills. Right handed hitter, tall straight stance, hits from a still start with limited lower half use, opposite field oriented swing but did turn on one ball well in games, has hitting tools when he lets the barrel go but tended to get too mechanical in his approach, has the physical tools to continue to improve. Defense and speed will carry him until his bat comes around.

Your hate for Jose Abreu is astonishing.

lol, just giving you crap. Obviously meant Narvaez. They sent down Gonzalez yesterday.

Navarro is not on this team.

Interesting pick there with Delgado. I like it.

I will be at both. Should be fun - hope we can win a couple!

What's the big negative on Singer? I've read that he may not have a ton of upside and sort is what he is already. Is that due to his arm angle, or lack of athleticism or what? I've wanted the Sox to draft a bat for awhile, so I am not necessarily on board for Singer, just curious why some of the resident draft gurus seem so down on him.

Very likely Skole's only MLB action he'll get. Maybe he'll be back in September for the Sox, but I doubt he'll be back again after this season.

Keep running him out there everyday in 2018 and see what you have at the end of the season.
