Bonemer seems like a massive reach 

Why? He was a first-round guy coming into the year who fell to the second. Sox know him from their Area Code team. Possibly they took him a few picks before some other teams would have, but he certainly wasn't expected to be a third rounder.

  • Every pick, at least in the first 10 rounds of the MLB draft, should be BPA. Yes, the Sox need impact bats in their system, but those can be acquired multiple ways. And as so many others have mentione

Why does Getz gets credit for Crochet again?

He let him start, which was a risky move.

EDIT: not being a hater, every publications seems to have him ranked in the 70s or 80s

Perhaps they were saving more money for Sloan at 68?

Seattle picks Sloan. The dream is over.

I don’t think you can view the mlb draft like that.

Because he was in the bullpen until Getz came along.

From what I read, his swing needs a lot of work.  Also pulls everything.

Scouting report from the Area Code games:

Quote

No player improved his stock as a MLB draft prospect more than Bonemer, who hit .545/.667/.818 with four walks and three strikeouts across 15 plate appearances. And none of his hits were cheap ones because of his barrel accuracy and strength. His hitting approach is simple, repeatable and efficient while leveraging his strong lower half and athleticism. And he had no issues timing good velocity with some of the best right-handed bat speed in the event. He’s the type of hitter who calmly stares down velocity like he’s playing a game of ‘Chicken’ before smacking it. At 4.37 seconds on a short turn – because almost all his hits were doubles – Bonemer moves well, especially considering how noticeably physical he is for a prep player. Throw a helmet on him and people might think he’s a 1990’s Nebraska recruit. Defensively, Bonemer played a lot of shortstop and reminded me some of when Alex Bregman played the position in college before moving off of it to third base.

Who should ? .A lot of people here questioned him going to starting pitching at the MLB level. Between Crochet, Bannister, Getz and Katz it all worked out beyond our upside dreams ..So far, knock on wood. Stay healthy Garrett . You may still be with the Sox to finish 2024.

Love the Carter Johnson pick for the Marlins.

Seattle is a good fit for Sloan.  They took Izzy a couple years ago and he had things he needed to work on and he seems to be trending in the right direction.

Some do, such as Cape Cod.

Gimme Oakie.

Lets keep that HS SS thing going. How about Tyler Bell or Eddie Rynders.
