They should cut ties with Alonso when Jay joins the ML team.

I wouldn’t say the Sox have gone cheap on the rebuild but I would say that they haven’t used their financial flexibility to their advantage. They could’ve taken on some bad, expiring contracts for some more top prospects.

Syndergaard comes to mind immediately

I also should've mentioned that the Cubs have a really weak farm and that Kimbrel was the only chance they had at improving their bullpen in a meaningful way,

We have to keep in mind that Kimbrel is coming off of a down year and has been used heavily.

Pache is #1 and Anderson is #3

Where is Ian Anderson rated higher than Pache?

If Zobrist doesn’t file for divorce and takes a personal leave, the Cubs don’t sign Kimbrel. He did them a favor.

Cool but I think that’s a little rich. The Braves are deep on pitching and I think Anderson, while highly rated and a very good prospect, is extendable for Atlanta

From the Braves, I would like to see Ian Anderson coming back to the Sox.

What’s wrong with Jace Fry? Why can’t this team take walks? Why can’t this team win on the road? Why can’t Ricky get his team to play decent defense?

The Mariners draft is terrible. What are they doing? I find it unlikely the top player on the board at their picks have all been pitchers.

I like College: RP Zach Less (LSU), SP Ryan Pepiot (Butler), P Erik Miller (Stanford), SP/RP Graeme Stinson (Duke) and RP Matt Cronin (Arkansas) Prep: OF Chris Newell, CF Dasan Brown, SS Connor Walsh, SP Jack Kochanowicz

In the third round I want: College: RP Zach Less (LSU), SP Ryan Pepiot (Butler), P Erik Miller (Stanford), SP/RP Graeme Stinson (Duke) and RP Matt Cronin (Arkansas) Prep: OF Chris Newell, CF Dasan Brown, SS Connor Walsh, SP Jack Kochanowicz I don’t think Hampton is a serious possibility, unless the Sox saved massive cash with Vaughn.

Didn’t the Sox want Adell in that draft?

HSers could help extend the window too.

I don't like Vaughn. I think taking a 1B only prospect and a bad body guy that high is mistake and would be a terrible pick. He would have to hit out of his mind to make it worthwhile.

All Star

I hope the pick is between Abrams and Bleday, who I think will make the bigs quickly.

The Braves are a good trade partner for the Sox

Keuchel wouldn’t be a number 5 starter for the Sox, he would be a TOR option for the team. I hope the Sox look at other avenues to improve their staff that don’t involve Keuchel, who looks like a terrible contract waiting to happen. ******* I know the team’s run differential is absurd but the Sox were blown out a lot in April and they are over performing their expected win/loss record. If they’re able to get average pitching from the staff for the rest of the season, a .500 isn’t out of the question. But if the Sox aren’t making the playoffs, they should seriously consider trading some veterans on the team like Colome to bolster the farm one more time (Braves are a great trade for).

I bet the under on Seattle. They were at 71.5 iirc

Why not Bartolo Colon?

Looking at another top ten pick this draft seems to be strong in pitching. I like: C Bailey RHP Hancock CF Veen RHP Wilcox LHP Fisher LHP Crochet 3B T. Witt 3B Morales

I know Hostetler said that the Sox have one of the biggest groups of amateur scouts but I wish they would make a similar commitment to their analytics department and pro scouting, which always seems to be a problem for them as of late.
