To me the first 10 is interchangeable depending on who you ask. I will focus on 10-30 range. - Delmonico absolutely needs to be higher than the likes of Call and Fisher - already performing at a higher level, and ceiling is same or better. - It's hard to justify Cueblo in the top 30 ranking. - Technically Engel and May are still prospects, but I'm fine with leaving them off the ranking - Cooper should be ranked before Diaz, Martinez, Bummer, etc. I would compare him to Chris Bassitt as a prospect.

Can we sell pieces of the jersey Sale already cut up to generate additional $40k revenue?

QUOTE (KagakuOtoko @ Jun 16, 2017 -> 07:32 AM) Easy money for Floyd. Easy money for both. There is no expectation for Mcgregor here. All he has to do is show up, talk s***, get schooled and still get the biggest paycheck of his life.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 05:34 PM) Adolfo with go ahead single in bottom of 7th. 825 ops. Make that game winning RBI, 7 inning affair. Morrison 0.56 era. LUIS Robert, 4 walks already. Take the DSL walk number with a HUGE grain of salt. Pitchers have no control down there. 14 walks to 9 K between the two teams today.

QUOTE (Boogua @ Jun 15, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) The Celtics should trade some picks (including next year's nets pick, but not this year's) and trade for George. They also appear to be slight favorites to get Hayward right now. A lineup of Thomas, Fultz, Hayward, George, and Horford could beat the cavs I think and give the Warriors a run for their money. I don't know if Pacers would agree to trade George without the guaranteed #1 overall. If it's 2018 Nets pick, they may have to include two of Smart, Brown and Crowder in the deal. Even if they sign Hayward, I think they definitely need another proven scorer like George to hang with the Cavs or Warriors.

Things to I'm looking forward to in 2018 in no particular order: Sixer - are they finally healthy? is the process finally going to pay off? How good is Ben Simmons? Bucks - can the Greek Freak get better? With he lead the Bucks into the East upper echelon with a core of Middleton, Parker, the President, and Thon Maker? Clippers - are they finally breaking up? Spurs - Will they add CP3 and put more pressure on Warriors? Thunder - What is Russ going to do this year? Jazz - can they win with defense? can they have a dynamic scorer to put them over the top? Lonzo/LaVar - are they going Hollywood, if so, can I avoid hearing their name on Sports Center every 5 minutes? Pelicans - how effective will the modern day twin tower be over a full season? Celics - will whoever their draft at #1 make an immediate impact? Bulls - I'm betting they stand pat this off season. Will they prove me wrong? Who's the actual generational talent - Kristaps Porzingis or Nikola Jokic? EDIT: Lebron, is he on the move again?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 04:35 PM) They picked none. While not high school kids, Tyler Johnson, Skoug, and McClure are high ceiling players and most likely require going over slot. Abbott is unknown. I think much of the excess money so far will go to Skoug to be honest. I suspect we may have money to sign one more high schooler picked in the late rounds.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 01:41 PM) Day 3, yes. It's always been for filler. But not rounds 1-10. You also want to make sure you are picking guys who are signable within your budget in the first 10 rounds so you do not lose slot value. You really can't make too many high ceiling high school picks unless you have go underslot your first few picks.

Not the most exciting Day 3. I'm hoping for a couple Montes De Oca picks to wrap up the day.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Guys, Robles isn't happening without Moncada or Kopech going back You're talking about three quality relievers for a playoff team desperate for some good ones. I think Robles is in play in that hypothetical scenario.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 14, 2017 -> 12:15 PM) This can't be right. You're saying they are purposely not drafting the best players available, that could be ranked high, just to have depth? This is more or less the approach in the Day 3 under the new CBA. If you have enough saved from the first 2 days, you'd open the day with a couple of high profile high school picks and hope that you can use your savings to pry them away from college commitment. If you do not have significant savings, you are basically picking guys who will sign for $100K or less and hope that they bloom late. So no, there aren't usually many BPA picks in day 3. I expect the Sox to start picking a few high schoolers starting in the mid 20 rounds. They would pick the higher profile high schoolers to generate goodwill for future drafts, and the lower profile kids (i.e. the token ACE picks) and hope that they will sign for whatever budget they have left until they hit the loss of pick penalty.

And Callis did the writeup without factoring the wildcard here, Abbott. If Abbott turns out to be as good a prospect as Sox think he could be, we could be a big Day 2 winner here.

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Guerrero gets grounders. Too early to start calling him GGG?

QUOTE (ptatc @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:34 PM) No chance the sox sign him then. That's one of the top water polo schools in the nation. Must have picked him knowing they won't sign him and save some money. edit: didn't realize they can't use the slot money. It's a weird pick, unless they just did it to draft him again in a few years and create some good will. You would usually do that in the later rounds, like they did with Montes De Oca. You almost never draft anyone you couldn't sign these days and lose the slot value, there are way better use of that money.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:20 PM) It usually happens in the first round. This won't be an underslot deal. This is the Sox diamond in the rough attempt. Area scout is Robbie Cummings. He probably begged the crosscheckers to vet and sign off on this relative unknown. Excellent info. Based on the fact that he's a water polo player, body type should be on the athletic side versus the Burger body type. If his baseball skills catches up, look out.

How often are high schoolers signed for under slot. If there is ever a case, this would be it.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Okay Im locking up my phone. Good talking everyone. Interesting that you're posting this after the Canadian strip club comment. Do you have somewhere to be at all of a sudden?

What's the report on this guy? Interesting timing to go high schooler here consider the last few picks will likely be overslot.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:09 PM) https://baseballdraftreport.com/2017/04/05/...ort-louisville/ So according to this, the Sox just drafted two very similar-valued pitcher 2 rounds apart.

Sounds like Johnson has a better chance to start than Henzman. If he could maintain FB in the mid 90's as a starter, this could be a high upside pick.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Jun 13, 2017 -> 01:04 PM) Gonzo looks like a poor man's Kendall to me tool's wise. Not bad in the 3rd round and that plate discipline is pretty impressive. Don't think he's got much power in that bat though. Poor man's Kendall as in a grade down in every other tool, and one grade up in the hitting department. But this is the type of player I have more confidence that the Sox could develop versus Kendall, no complaint here for a 3rd round pick.

Between Collins, Call, Fisher, Burger, Sheet and now Gonzalez, we have now taken a bunch of polished college bats with good plate discipline. Now we just need a couple of these bats to pan out.

High school kids coming off the board fast. 6 out of the first 7 picks.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 11:21 PM) It's funny cause KD still a b**** tho Aside from Rose's ACL, Lebron is the main reason Bulls has fallen back to misery after their resurgence. So I will root for that b**** KD over Lebron any day

It's OVA. Good luck beating them the next 3 years.
