I'd have to run through the drafts again to be sure, but I believe Bailey goes after in most, if not all.

Kiley also had Crochet to the Sox, said it was a late development type thing.

If I eliminate both the Bears & Bulls could the football Cardinals come back in return?

I could absolutely get behind that.

He's still not cleared to sign yet, so nothing can/will be announced until that happens.

FWIW, this staff draft has the Sox selecting Pete Crow-Armstrong & Gage Workman.

Have the Sox taking Bailey again.

He also mentioned that the Sox aren't necessarily "college or bust" with the pick, so there's a glimmer of hope on the HS front.

Their lastest mock has the Sox selecting Bailey, but notates that they're looking at the top high school hitters/pitchers as well.

Probably. But at the moment he's in somewhat of a similar situation. He's still under contract in Japan (or at least his team believes he is) and hasn't been cleared to sign with a MLB club, so he can't really do anything at the moment until those get resolved. I'm sure teams are "talking" with him and he may ultimately have a preference on where he wants to be, they all just need to wait for the green light from the league.

That's correct, the vast majority of the AB's he took was in their "farm league", although he did apparently get some time with the regular club. Link

A lot of the players internationally have had "agreements" with teams for multiple years before they're actually allowed to sign, so I don't see why not.
