June 4, 20197 yr I'm surprised Callihan is signable. I thought he would be going to school after he didn't go in the first.

June 4, 20197 yr Man, I don't get the phone call bit they are showing on the broadcast. It looks really bad. Just have the host read the pick.
June 4, 20197 yr I wonder how much overslot this is here. I guess well see if the Sox punt any picks in the next few rounds.
June 4, 20197 yr It cracks me up that a lot of the videos they are using for HS guys is from the All American pre-workout at UIC.

Sox will almost certainly have to go overslot for one of or both of Thompson and Dalquist. Dalquist has the profile of a prospect that actually might make it as a starter in 3-5 years. Thompson is an upside lottery ticket play who might gain strength and velocity. Both are players that could be first round talents in 3 years, great gets.
June 4, 20197 yr FG says the rumored ask from Dalquist was $2mil. Edited June 4, 20197 yr by GenericUserName

June 4, 20197 yr Author If he's 2 million, 1.3 is a bit to make up. Gotta wonder if we got some from Vaughn and if Thompson was possibly underslot by 2-300k.

June 4, 20197 yr Just now, bmags said: Wow Mets got Allan. Will they meet his giant asking price though?
June 4, 20197 yr Just now, bmags said: Wow Mets got Allan. I'm surprised they'd spend a 3rd rounder on him if they weren't sure he was going to sign.

You figure the 5% overage gives us ~$500k, can probably get another $200k from going with senior signs the last two rounds. That gets us half way. $700k seems like a lot to have saved on the first 2 picks. We might not have much left.
