Of course the scary version of this profile is Wes Kath. His hit tool was vastly overrated and the old Sox PD group couldn’t help him. I hope this turns out better.

Interesting. I've read big throwing arm, probably not athletic enough to stay at short, probably too good a hitter to let develop at catcher, so 3b. That does sound like a lefty Bonemer to me.

Makes sense to me. I like Fauske a ton. Not a reflection on Carlson, who I believe will develop some pop to go along with the glove. I just like Fauske’s tools a tad better.

Thanks for the update. I like how aggressive you were ranking Prosek. I still have Bonemer over Cholowsky, mostly cuz I'm a Stan, but also guy's a year younger doing in in AA. I remain openminded. I'm also something of a Fauske Stan, so I have him slightly above Carlson, Thome, and Prosek. Upon further review, I bumped Burrowes up into the Top 20. He's been pretty good all year and is still only 21. A lot of who deserves to be where won't be clear until like next May, so it's a lot of guesswork until then.

Griffin is hurt. Gonzo gonna play ss. I believe Lowe is a FA at the end of the year. Gonzo will either play 2b or 3b with Nick Gonzalez playing the other.

College pitcher in 5 is disappointing to me. Despite huge pool, Sox playing it chalk

College pitching is now flying off the board.

Great pick. Someone I wanted the Sox to take, but it was always a pipe dream.

Sox and A's doing their best not to upstage the draft. Yeesh.

Sure looks like it.

Janesville native. Another local kid. Midwest baseball has really stepped up in the last 10 years.

Great landing spot for Peterson. I'm sure they'll turn him into a strike-throwing monster.

Sox have been notoriously bad in round 2 and then after that almost never draft HS. The guys they have drafted in the last 10 years have been universally awful. Hello, Luis Curbelo, Sam Abbott, Cabrera Weaver, Matthew Thompson, Andrew Dalquist etc. But most of the college guys have been bad too. After the first round the draft is a crapshoot and the Sox have not been an elite player acquisition org.

Here's mine. My confidence level of these judgments is low. I haven't watched as many MiLB games as normal because I'm traveling. Caleb Bonemer, ss/3b (AA) *Jaden Fauske, of (A) Tanner McDougal, rhp (A+) Billy Carlson, ss (A) (IL) *Hagen Smith, lhp (IL) David Sandlin, rhp (AAA) *George Wolkow, of (A+) *William Bergolla, ss (IL) Gabe Davis, rhp (AA) Mason Adams, rhp (AAA) Kyle Lodise, ss (A+) Javier Mogollon, 2b/ss (A) *Blake Larson, lhp (ACL) Max Banks, rhp (A+) *Colby Shelton, inf (AA) Jeral Perez, 2b/3b (A+) Mathius LaCombe, rhp (A+)% *Sebastian Romero, of (DSL) Matthew Boughton, ss/cf (A) *Christian Oppor, lhp (ACL) Stiven Flores, c (A) *Sammy Zavala, of (AA) *Landon Hodge, c (ACL) Jose M. Mendoza, c (ACL) *Boston Smith, c/of (A+) *Ely Brown, of (A+) Anthony DePino, 1b (AA) *Christian Gonzalez, of (A) *Abraham Nunez Jr., of (A) Pierce George, rhp (A+)%

In his one at bat today Gonzalez hit an 111 mph double, so it's not all the park by any means.

This may also be the first of many moves to ease the upcoming 40 man roster crunch. They are currently at 39 with 8 guys on the 6o-day IL. I think it's likely that Mason Adams eventually gets added as well. So, even though I'm a little sad about this, it's not insane.

I really don't love this. 6+ years of control of a guy who has broken out in AAA and shown flashes in MLB for a comp pick in a draft that's getting weaker by the minute thanks to NIL money everywhere seems light. But good for Gonzo. Maybe he'll get an everyday job in Pittsburgh.

5 runs up. Is it Seranthony time?

Another fantastic start for Burke. Very happy for him.

7 run ninth so far for W-S. Doesn’t matter the names, that team has hit all year.

Would the Golden Sombrero count as Mexican Heritage?

I mean, if they did something crazy, they have a lot to sell. Newcomb, Hudson, and Taylor would fetch a fair amount. If they started marketing young controllable bats like Vargas, there'd be huge offers. So, they have pieces. They just should absolutely not do it.

Lance Johnson would like a word...

Not that hard. He's 16 on MLB Pipeline. Those three guys slot in that range as well. It's likely a coin flip for any evaluator.

In Charlotte, it looks like Cannon was okay. 5 innings, 2 runs, 2bb, 4K. McDougal threw a clean inning with a K and Davitt struck out 5 in 3 scoreless innings. So, maybe some reinforcements there.
