Will Roch command over slot or does he have no leverage?

The projected slot value for 1.1 would be at least $11.5M. Skenes has the highest bonus record at $9.2M (with 1.1 pick slot value at  $9.7M in 2023). Even if Roch smash that record and gets $11M, that still leaves us some room to work with.

No. But there's miserable people on here so now's a good time to take the good news and cancel it out by reminding us that the world is hell. 

2 wolves always fighting. One is darkness and despair , the other light and hope. Which one wins ?

The one you feed. 

Another good thing for the Sox since Pope Bob was chosen. 

Heck Yea !!!

In a perfect world we’re set at SS, 3B and catcher at a minimum 

I can think of a lot better perfect world than being set at just 3 positions assuming a perfect world means all prospects in our system reach their ceilings, Even if the means Colson at 1st Base.

I'm not a Getz fan, but he's still cleaning up Hahn's mess. They lost 100 games in 2023. 

Hahn, KW and especially JR's which it will continue to be until the Ishbia's take over. However, there can be incremental improvements for the next few years regardless of that and labor impasses.

Roch has to be the favorite but Grady Emerson is also a mega-prospect.  Lefty swinging shortstop from the Dallas area who does everything well. One scout said the only downside on his card is that Emerson isn't quite as good at the same age as Bobby Witt Jr. So, good year to be picking #1.

I think Emerson could be the pick but I really prefer a college guy if Roch can play like he did last season. Bonus points: another MLB player from my high school and the best prospect it's produced since Terrell Suggs (or 4th rounder Bellinger if you prefer).

Not sold on the Roch guy but if nothing else looks like a good thing to have a "safe" option on the board heading into the prep and college season. Not a fan of drafting an average athlete at SS but it's not like Jeter was a quick twitch guy so obviously you can have a helluva career at SS regardless.

Pay wall. How about you copy and paste.

I am able to read both stories easily. 

And if a story is behind a paywall (and the Sun-Times stopped doing that two years ago) this website doesn't look kindly on copying and pasting something that has to be paid for.  

One of the mods can correct me if I'm wrong about this.
