I kind of figured that the guy everyone has talked about being the 1st pick since last season likely would not end up being the #1 pick. Just seems like someone always jumps to the top unless you have a Bobby Witt Jr sitting there? What are the national publications that follow college baseball/the draft saying?

They seem to be very heavily leaning Roch at this point, but we have almost three months to still go.
March 23Mar 23 Ultimately, I think if Chris Getz goes against the grain with his pick, it would be very surprising if he went for someone whose key limitation is questionable swing decisions. Seems to me that Getz prioritizes approach very highly in his acquisitions, perhaps because he (rightly) thinks it is hard to develop.

Lebron has louder tools, period. Lebron is rocking a 16.7% k-rate so far this year. If he stays around that in conference play, his k numbers will be pretty much in line. Agree Roch still in the lead. Edited March 23Mar 23 by Look at Ray Ray Run

March 28Mar 28 Sox will pick #1, then Getz will trade him for 3 prospects who will never make it past AA.

March 28Mar 28 If Emerson keeps batting like 900 playing against children should we draft him instead?!?!? (no)
