That Chase Petty thing never made any sense on a lot of different levels but most of all why on earth would he show up to the draft if they thought he was going to be picked 57th?

Yep yep, wondered that as well.

  • the real key in these drafts is to not say anything dumb in these threads

  • When's the last time a Sox draft pick contributed at the big league level?  It's been over a week!!!

I can't believe an EIU guy went in the first round. 

Petty is a pretty good interview.

He's a fuckin dude and don't believe that bullshit that he can't stay at SS.

I wonder if Pacheco gets to them in the 2nd? I've heard the Sox linked to him as well. 

Merrill's picture made him look 12.

I went to SEMO and still follow SEMO baseball, wasn't able to watch them play EIU this year. It is just crazy, EIU has been a bottom dweller for years in baseball so to see a 1st rounder come out of there is pretty cool. 

Look for Dylan Dodd (from SEMO) between 3-7 rounds, would love for the Sox to pick him up. I believe Sweeney went 1-3 off him

Damn I really liked Jackson Merrill didn’t realize he’d be a first rounder.

honestly reminds me of TA a bit, different players obviously, but a similar profile in the back half of the 1st round as intriguing SS.

Exactly, I have zero problem gambling on an athlete like this at #22.  The ceiling is pretty massive and our system is clearly lacking potential impact talent at the moment.

Dylan Dodd is an unbelievable story.  He was the 1B on the Kankakee JC world series team. He went to SEMO and found 10 mph on his fastball and now he's gonna go in the top 5 rounds.  And Sweeney hit a bomb off him.

He is the definition of raw athlete. Looks like he has plenty of frame to add bulk to as well.

Which team lost their 1st rounder to the Reds? 

So we real talk, but if can land an over-slot guy in the 2nd, they immediately become our #2 prospect after Montgomery?  I know all clubs are re-upping right now, but the system feels like it’s in much better shape with Kelley ranked 3rd.

For Bauer.

Marlins select actor Jason Ritter.

I just remembered Houston was the one without a 1st round pick for the sign stealing shit. Was wondering why there were only 29 1st round picks.

Tigers got Ty Madden. Really good value for them at 32 when he was projected for top 15.

He also added a pretty good slider this off-season. If you haven't watch his start against Arkansas at the beginning of the season, his change up was pretty damn good too

Not this past season.

I absolutely hate the Brewers but god damn Tyler Black can flat out crank.  Great pick by those bunch of assbags.  

I will have eyes on Stovall, Kath and Pacheco in round 2. Wouldn’t mind another prep bat. I think they’ll try and get an arm in round 2 however.

They need him with Hiura turning into a massive bust.  Also, I’m watching MLB Network coverage and saw Montgomery only hit .333 this year.  Is his hit tool that mediocre?  Indiana isn’t exactly Fla or Cali caliber hs baseball

Absolutely. With Vaughn graduated, it’s arguably the weakest system in the game right now. Though for very different reasons than when it was last time.

Was it that high?  I don't put any stock in HS stats but he's a longway away.

Noah Miller went in the 1st.  So happy for him.  What a great fuckin kid.
