July 10, 20232 yr On the bright side, there should be a lot fewer players that should go off the board before our pick in 2024

July 10, 20232 yr 7 minutes ago, oldsox said: We need another shortstop prospect. Montgomery, Popeye, Sosa, Burrowes.. I'd much rather they load up on shortstops instead of first baseman.
July 10, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, DirtySox said: I don't quite understand how one can have a 30 grade run tool and play shortstop. Though I'm just a filthy casual draft fan. He can't.
July 10, 20232 yr 17 minutes ago, Jerksticks said: I’ve never seen a 30 grade anything. What’s a good comp? Was Nick Madrigal 30 grade power? is Grandal a 30 grade runner? Grandal would technically be a 20 grade runner, although they may want to rethink the numbering system to allow a lesser figure just for him.
July 10, 20232 yr Just now, Quin said: I'd much rather they load up on shortstops instead of first baseman. Technically they just did bc he won't be playing SS or 2B at the upper levels imo. He will have to move to corner infield if he was really grades at 30

July 10, 20232 yr Just now, Harry Chappas said: I'd rather have a SS with good instinct over speed. No you wouldn't. A SS needs great feet to get in position to field the ball.
July 10, 20232 yr 1 minute ago, Harry Chappas said: I'd rather have a SS with good instinct over speed. Elly de la Cruz...ONeil Cruz, and Tatis Jr., say good luck with that. It's like ChatGPT4 versus Sox Pong.
July 10, 20232 yr 16 minutes ago, oldsox said: We need another shortstop prospect. Montgomery, Popeye, Sosa, Burrowes.. I mean, you can never have enough SS prospects. Not defending the pick, but him being a SS is not the reason to dislike.
July 10, 20232 yr On MLB pipeline they have Gonzalez as a 40 runner. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/jacob-gonzalez-694378 Edited July 10, 20232 yr by baseballgalaly
July 10, 20232 yr Dude looks like he’s running in mud. Granted the highlights are on homers, but still.
