Thank you @Y2Jimmy0 and @Sleepy Harold for all the work you guys do with FutureSox. It's great especially around draft time.

Ditto. Most threads that last this long and cover this many pages can get a bit tedious. But this thread has been great.

Give me one of the two college kids. Both are right-handed and play good defense. The good defense part gives them a solid floor, and the upside still exists to be all-stars. What more do you want even out of a 1/1? Nobody is a sure Hall of Famer out of the draft.

In regard to 1.1, all three would/will be underslot, it's just a matter of how much under they'll come in at. The Pirates supposedly have their comp pick available for some immediate help (believe I saw that they wanted bullpen help), but not sure if the Soxline up with them in that regard.

They can have any reliever except for Taylor; heck, any 2 except for Taylor.

One of the higher rated MI prospects could be dealt at the deadline for pitching

Projections land all three potential guys in the top 100 list at 19, 24, and 25 respectively.

Whoever we pick will immediately become our top prospect.

So you are white flagging it then?

Fill in with Gonzalez, Iriarte, Pallette, whoever is throwing the ball well at the time.

Listen, up until the last 3 months has there been much of any argument about who is the top pick. Then after Roch and UCLA lost in the NCAA Tourney and he didn't have a very good showing at the plate during it everyone got on this Emerson kick. If they are now considered 1 and 1A give me the College kid over the High Schooler most every time.
