I'm pretty sure the Sox spend their entire allotment every draft.

I think the SoxMachine article indicated they were negotiating with Smith right up until the pick.

He should really change his name to Phil Phox from Philly.

These people?

Eddys are better swimmers. Eddie's always have a younger brother complex.

Why does one Peyton spell his name with an "e", and another with an "a". Do they mean different things?

Banking more money with the higher slot value. You only tank one instead of multiple, cheaper slots.

Moar slappy hitting 2B.

slot values for those keeping track: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/mlb-draft-slot-values-money-pick-worth-2024/1b38d9cca2ad6777cbc0e527

List of things I want from the internet: 1) real time tally of international slot dollars spent/not spent per MLB team, by annual class 2) complete list of undrafted free agents signed, by draft class I'm sure it's all out there, I'm just lazy

nice piece by James Fegan on the day 1 intrigue. Lot of Shirley reaction. https://soxmachine.com/2024/07/white-sox-2024-mlb-draft-day-1-recap/

Very nice piece by James Fegan on day 1 of the draft. Lot of Shirley reaction, top 5 intrigue. https://soxmachine.com/2024/07/white-sox-2024-mlb-draft-day-1-recap/

Lefty bench bat who should probably be non-tendered this winter. There's a lot of guys his level playing 1B and DH on .500 teams.

I'm confused.

Got it. Thank you.

I'm confused. I always see stuff like this when publications eval a draft. About our 1st rounder, MLB.com says: But then, at pick #24, they say this about the Braves' pick: Both are left-handed. Why isn't Hagen Smith the best left-hander in the class? Is top ranked different from "best"?

A team who needs pitching? Drafts another OF. Strength of system.

How are you this far ahead of the MLB draft tracker?

Like a Rick Berry free throw?

It is kind of niche. It's not like anybody's going to see any of these guys in the next couple of years. In the NFL, the 7th rounder is your new starting tight end.

Bryce Ranier to the Tigers? Isn't Baez their SS into the next decade?

Baseball expert is all over it.

I was hoping the end of the sentence was "...of his unemployment benefits form."
