Palette has reliever risk, but not more than Kelley imho and he’s not signing for $3 mil. They need pitching depth. I guess I will just trust them on this one.

Real run on pitching. Value might be in a college bat now.

Campbell is the most Cleveland pitcher pick of all time. I hate these comp picks btw. Sox pay the price for the Dodgers, Mets, and Yanks.

Gilbert to Astros. That is a match made in heaven/hell.

My biggest question is "are the other people we've talked about like Prielipp, Toman, Gilbert, etc being floated lower by teams with bigger budgets or is Schultz #1 on their board?"

Wow. Never considered they would do this.

wow. Nick Yorke part 2!

Yoelqui has been hot recently. Hopefully, he's discovered something.

Cubs are getting someone good with Rocker pick, so are Twins.

Kelly throws that knuckle curve waaaaay too much.

I don't dislike the guy, but don't you need to consider sending Sheets down when they activate Grandal? I mean, no way he catches every day, so I'd like the flexibility of carrying 3 catchers.

Tough inning for Smith, 5 hits, 3 homers and they pull him right before he gets to face Leury.

And Vaughn plays RF? 2b?

Counterpoint: Bell has played 26 games in the outfield in his career. He would be a step down from Sheets defensively, and that's saying something.

I feel like Yo hits so much better in the 2 hole and TLR has resisted hitting him there since he got the job. Hopefully, we se 2019 Moncada the rest of the way.

Personally, I want Prielipp, but I think he'll be priced out of their range. I'm guessing Campbell. Would be happy with Toman, Gilbert, Snelling. Less so with Hughes and Hjerpe.

Just read Pipeline’s 2012 redraft https://www.mlb.com/news/redrafting-the-2012-mlb-draft?t=mlb-draft-coverage just to set expectations, their 26th best player in the redraft is Patrick Wisdom. Getting any value out of a draft pick at all is a win.

Thanks for all the work you do. Great read.

Sammy Sosa for George Bell didn’t work out all that well either.

Just to clarify, a franchise that has never given out any 100 mil deals would now give out a 500 mil contract. Sounds unlikely.

Law has his final mock out. https://theathletic.com/3427466/2022/07/16/mlb-mock-draft-2022-final/ In his take, Sox draft Snelling, but he's also heard a lot of Hjerpe, which I would not be a fan of, especially if Prielipp is still on the board.

Jones has been streaky and the track record on Stanford hitters is pretty bad. He does hit lefty. I could see it, but I think both Gilbert and Beavers are ahead of him. I bet he goes comp/early 2nd.

Wow. I would feel sorry for Dallas, but I know what we’re paying him.

ReyLo for President!

Sox really like to swing out of the zone, don’t they? Maybe make Thome hitting coach? Pass on some of that good Charlie Manuel knowledge? Seriously, anyone but Menechino.
