Jim Callis just said the following on the mlb.com coverage about Spencer Adams:

 

- that he would have moved him up to #27 in the rankings if he had done a draft-day ranking

- that he really thought he was going to the Dodgers at #22

- that he has a huge ceiling

 

That's what I like to hear.

I'm not the least bit in favor of "underdrafting" with the 3rd round pick.

 

First of all, Rodon doesn't need to be offered a dime over slot. He has no leverage, and the Sox can pretty much assure him he will hit the active roster no later than September 1.

 

Sox can go 5% over their total allotment without losing future picks. That means they can offer Adams money 10-12 slots higher than where they drafted him without having to go underslot on other picks.

 

Don't waste the third round pick. I'm fine with taking a guy who has 3rd-4th round talent that they are certain will sign for slot or slightly under, but I'm not fine with taking a guy who has 10th-12th round talent and offering him $100K.

For a top 3 pick, it's a little disappointing not to have heard a word from Rodon himself yet.

Carlos Rodon: 'It's a great team and I think they have a postseason run in them if they keep playing well.'

:lol: Timing
