I would love a Rendon signing. The Sox could move Moncada back to second. They could use Madrigal as a jack of all trades utility man or use him in a trade for a guy like Grienke. What is stopping the Sox from signing one of those guys? Is JR really gonna sit on the wallet again this offseason and keep rocking a sub 100 million dollar payroll?

I would steer clear of Avi. We've seen this show before. He will have a good year this year and then likely struggle again with staying healthy in the years ahead.

Basabe has hit 40 homers in his minor league career spanning over 2000 at bats. He will never be a 20 homer a year guy in MLB.

The guys on the North Side of town just signed an elite closer like they were picking up the check for Grandma's 80th birthday at Bennignan's. 2020 is year 4 of the rebuild and should be a pivotal one. The Sox need to supplement the young exciting core with some established difference making veterans. Rick Hahn said that the money would be spent! Who should the Sox pursue this offseason via FA or trade? I would love to see them go after Gerrit Cole, JD Martinez, and Yasmani Grandal. Kick the tires on a trade for Zach Grienke as well.

Yep. I'm surprised that video is even up. It is more of a lowlights video. Kid is getting drafted cause he can crush the ball when he actually makes contact. real high exit velocity numbers according to perfect game.

Is this the actor from Silver Linings and that musical with Lady Gaga?

Sounds like a terrible reason to promote someone.

Very true. What was his signing bonus back then. 500 bucks and a Greyhound Bus ticket?

So the Sox took 4 legit prospects and then a bunch of useless college seniors?

Maybe never? We are entering no mans land anyways. Most of the guys drafted going forward have little chance of ever making any real impact.

On the baseball diamond or in the pool?

LMAO. Sam Abbott right? Is he even with the Sox organization anymore?

I'm skeptical. I think Dalquist is asking for something like 2 million when the third round slot is 750K. Sox are paying that Southern California premium I suppose.

So who are we thinking are the big over-slot guys? Dalquist and Beard right?

Are all these guys really going to demand that much overslot?

If I'm understanding this correctly, the Mets are likely to just punt away their next 6 picks in order to give Allan 4 million? Pretty ballsy and creative if they pull it off.

How did they get the pick? Via trade?

Where is this report of disagreement within the Sox FO? I've been speculating that something like this has been going down for the last couple weeks. If the Sox draft Abrams then it is pretty much proof positive that KW is back in charge of the Sox draft room.

I hope your kids don't read this board lol. Just read them the live draft feed on twitter as their bedtime story tonight.

I think we are going to see a lot more Free Agency 2.0 in the coming years especially with pitchers.

I really hope the Sox do not cute with the #3 pick. There is no guarantee that the guy you are trying to float will actually be there. This happened to the Sox with Fulmer (Benitendi) and with Burger (Adell). Just grab on of Witt, Ruschtman, or Vaughn please.

He was supposed to return right around now. You never know with this kid though. He may have reinjured himself answering the door for the Dominoes pizza guy.

Eloy is well on pace to be --2 WAR crater. At least for this year anyways. baseball is a crazy game.

Eloy looks absolutely overmatched most of the time. He is a work in progress and might need 1000 or so at bats before everything clicks.

Disagree. Seems like a strategy that could blow up badly in your face. Just take the best player available at #3 and don't try to get cute or outsmart yourself.
