Callis Mock. Says he doesn't buy into Adley slipping past Baltimore. Has Sox on Abrams.

Also says the Marlins would potentially take Abrams, so we might not be able to get him as underslot as we thought. If anything, Vaughn might actually have more of a chance to fall a bit.

MRW some of the talking heads are now saying Adley may fall

 

some quick rosterbation late 2020

Robert - CF
Moncada# - 3B
Jimenez - DH
Collins* - 1B
Anderson - SS
Rutschman# - C
Castellanos - LF
Gonzalez* - RF
Madrigal - 2B

 

I'm pretty certain Abreu is going to re-sign with the team after this year.

Just listened to Effectively Wild and they had Longenhagen on. There is starting to be buzz that its a sure thing Rutschman goes #1. Basically he is too good for Elias to do his preferred thing of going underslot.

Lodolo shoved against a hard hitting Texas Tech team last night.  I guess we can put aside the he's fading down the stretch fears for now.

Do you promise not to hang out in the draft thread on June 3rd and just shit all over whoever the Sox take considering there is about an 80% chance it's not Adley? 

I'm not going to shit on who they take. They're in a shitty situation. Just pick your guy and hope for the best.

Rustchman falling somehow would be an absolute game changer. Remember when no one thought Rodon would be around at number 3? Crazy stuff happens in the MLB draft.

Royce Lewis was like, the #5 prospect.

Weird things can certainly happen in the MLB draft.  I would be legitimately shocked if Rutschman fell.

What I am starting to hate about this draft, is that it seems like it is a 1-2 draft for the most part, and after Rutschman and Witt there are a bunch of players on about the same level between 3-8 or 9, something like that.  So hopefully something weird happens and the Sox end up with one of those 2.

I’m with you. Rutschman or Witt in that order. After that, I won’t complain about Vaughn or Abrams.

Yeah, I don't think I'd be upset if it were Bishop or Bleday even.  I prefer Abrams and Vaughn.  Or Vaughn and Abrams, but it would be understandable for either of the others.  

Callis with a new mock. Said Abrams if Rutschman doesn’t fall. It would appear Vaughn isn’t even a consideration if this holds true.

He has Rutschman-Witt going 1-2.

I think saying 3-8/9 is a bit too much.

I personally view there being a top 4, with Rutschman, Witt, Abrams, Vaughn, and then there being a trio Bleday, Green, Bishop. After that its kinda whoever you want in a mix of college SP/ early hs p.

I think there are fair cases for Bleday over Vaughn, but I still think his bat puts him a tier above and may just get pushed away for fit reasons.

Yeah, that is fair and you are probably right.  I guess it was just in my head, I would be much more excited for 1-2.  Then any of Vaughn, Abrams, Bishop, Bleday would all be about the same in terms of excitement.

Well, I try to keep in mind that it wasn't that long ago people were thinking it may go 1. Rutschman 2. Vaughn 3. Stott so that 4 you have up there I'm pretty happy with!

Like I said, the Sox will regret it if they take Abrams instead of Vaughn.

I agree. Vaughn's college numbers are right up there with the likes of the Big Hurt and Kris Bryant. His bat is elite.

Quite frankly, anything the Sox do at 3 has the potential to backfire based on their player development history. Abrams wouldn't be dumb to go to college if the Sox take him. Kidding, but not really. 

Both Vaughn and Bleday went 2 for 4, with a homer tonight.

Hearing there's some crazy love for Brett Baty out there.  Serious crazy love.

It’s an interesting draft for evaluating traditional draft red flags.

Corbin Carrol seems like one of the safer Hs bats, but he’s 5’10.

Baty is physically impressive, and has that Gorman vibe but is super old for a prep bat.

Vaughn is a short RH hitting 1b that happens to be one of the most productive college bats ever.

Bishop/Bleday are both the late bloomers.

interesting draft to try and find value and ignoring the dogma.

Id probably most hate to be wrong on a Baty though.

Vaughn and be done with it.

Give me Abrams and another prep talent in round 2 with the savings.  

Unless Adley falls, then I would sprint to the podium to select him.
