I think the next pick is very likely to be Pilkington based on Sox draft trends.  De Sedas would be great, but not sure there is enough money there to get him to walk away from school unless the Sox got discounts with Madrigal and Walker.

I've got a feeling that he will spend very little time/skip AAA.

I agree, he will not be there long.

Who I think they will target?  I would like some HS talent, but I don't think that happens.  I would assume more college pitching and hitting.

Sox had all night to talk to Steele, Madrigal and De Sedas and see if there is a chance.

De Sadas? what do you mean?

I'm never guessing a high schooler ever again with this team. I do think Spillane and Wolf are two players we know they scouted, that's good speculation.

Those guys aren't top 100.

Rounds 3-10 are today.

Most of Round 3 is picked inside the top 100

I'll overpay for Rocker or De Sadas.

Rankings are universal either.

To the question of who the sox are targeting, I suggested Wolf and Spillane. I think they are players the sox may pick today.

True, but just they aren't in the 3 I look at; and per fangraphs, 3 top 70 college pitchers are available (and numerous top 100 college players). No need to reach.  Adn I know that Maggs didn't say those guys for round 3 necessarily.

I have no idea who to expect.  I mean there are certain franchises you know that will stretch for players, but they aren't as well known in MLB.  This seems like a Cincinnati Bengals or Raiders type of pick.

I would be surprised to see a marquee team take him, I think it will be someplace where it can fly under the radar a little more.

Conversely the Yankees or Cubs would have enough loyalty from fans they don't have to worry about losing fans. 

And there goes Spillane.  I guess I need new lists.

Yeah, I dont think Cashman or Theo want the headache of dealing with the questions or headlines.

I actually think it is more likely that a team with no fans in the first place like the As or rays get him. Those two franchises are well known to chase value regardless of what media and fans think. The rays have a history of taking crooks on a discount, most notably Matt Bush (multiple DUI and DUI crash with physical harm)

They both did it before, with Chapman. Their fanbases didn't seem to care too much

Wasn't that with Friedman as their GM? Maybe then the Dodgers could be a candidate?

Yes it was Friedman.I think he would do it but not sure the dodgers  owner will allow that.
