    I dunno about you guys but I think it's pretty sweet to be in first place and also have the first pick in the draft.

    Mispronouncing the #1 overall pick's last name is HUGE cringe. Jesus f*** Manfred.

What point are you trying to make? You made bad picks initially so you have to trade them for lower draft positions? Okay. s%*# happens. I get it. But it’s not really something to celebrate.

I wasn’t trying to jump on you, just trying to show that Gonzalez’ draft position is irrelevant at this point. If you think he’s worth more than what we got for him, I can understand that view.

Bailey's injury was so unfortunate. But man that power.

That would be a hefty price. Stanford commit.

Callis loves the Prosek pick. Highlighted it as one of his favorites.

They have to see how their actual teams playing today are doing.

We should still quite a bit of money to play with I’d think, at least for one more big time prospect. Beyond that depends on what kind of deals Thome & Prosek agreed to.

If Landon doesn’t sign to a friendly bonus they should move Jim’s office to the basement like Milton in Office Space.

I’m really dating myself with these references today.

The last thing the sox deserve the benefit of the doubt on is drafting nepo-babies.

It honestly must be fun to be someone who just hails all moves though. When it goes wrong, "that just happens" and when it's right youre a genius.

Some of us like him because the WBC appearance was cool + forkball

Two more.

Expecting failure is the easier prediction with draft choices. Supporting them is much harder especially when they experience failure which happens in just about every draft pick's resume.

Must be fun to be critical of the process of picking local talent and good players who happen to have the genes from a Hall of Fame player.

Yeah. It’s sports. It isn’t my job. Having former players kids also be awesome would be cool. I like when sports are cool.

Hopefully!

No way. If you don’t know Office Space, you just need to watch it. Period.

I love contreras. Sorry. Meant thome. Actually think contreras warrants his spot.

No different than someone that hates all the moves. If it goes right "Hey, glad they proved me wrong" and if it goes bad you can throw it in peoples face for years to come.

Agree. Easy to love or hate everything.

Oh yeah, I do feel like Thome is being gassed up by every connection he has. I very much want him at a discount.

Welp, nice knowing you, Billy Carlson. Not that we did know you

He's rehabbing in the ACL as of today I believe. Hope his value grows and he can be traded for pitching at some point in the near future.

Love everything about contreras. Sitting 94 in high school, touching 97 but projects into the velo. Big frame that hasn't filled out. One elite secondary in that splitork that is developed and just needs reps/command.

Was fun to watch in the WBC. Flaws on display but tools screaming.

I really need this pick to be made
