Sox are going to have a ton of options in rounds 2 and 3 to add some nice depth to the system. Some names I like at both spots: 2nd Round Anthony Siegler Lenny Torres Jr. Blaine Knight Greyson Jenista Griffin Roberts Matt McClain Slade Cecconi 3rd Round Kyle Isbel Durbin Feltman Daniel Lynch Nick Decker I'm skeptical most of those 3rd RD names even make it to them though. Seen Daniel Lynch mocked as high as mid first round lately. Edited May 25, 2018 by Dunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm envious of Tampa and KC having so many early picks. They could clean up big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Yeah and it's interesting seeing names like Alek Thomas consistently ranked as a 45-50 prospect but MOCKED consistently first round. So it's hard to know which will be the comp guys vs who may actually be around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I think my preference is Torres or Roberts. Then some pipe dreams of a dropping, unsignable Jordyn Adams getting drafted by us in 2nd and convinced to play by Kenny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Greyson Jenista is still available there, that's the guy I want. Massive dude with supposedly plus bat control. Hasn't hit nearly as many homers as you would think he should given his size and tools, but... that's EXACTLY what they said about Aaron Judge.

Jose Abreu Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 If Detroit really passes on Mize (classic Detroit) I highly doubt SF/PHI do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin Power is one thing I don't really worry about with draft prospects anymore, unless it's someone who's a big time home run hitter or a speedy finesse guy. With the juiced ball, you have guys like Ozzie Albies- who were never power hitters- leading the league in home runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Albies was 6'5" 250! I guess what I'm saying is I can't think of any good reason that Jenista won't average between 75-90 homers per year in his prime if healthy.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Give me Madrigal at 4. And look who MLB has as the 46th prospects (our pick) Seth Beer! Coincidental? I think not!!! Give me Madrigal and Beer at 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Seth Beer has been on fire, to close out the season with very good stats. I doubt that he makes it to our second round pick, but if he does, there is potentially that left handed power bat, which I covet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't as polished a hitter as Beer today, but better body, more projection, and can play defense. https://www.minorleagueball.com/2018/4/26/17281604/2018-mlb-draft-greyson-jenista-of-1b-wichita-state Edited May 25, 2018 by Eminor3rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Butts 12:59 Curious on your take on Griffin Roberts. Starter? Heard his change looked pretty okay yesterday. Keith Law 12:59 His change was there in March too. It's the delivery. There isn't a starter in the majors who looks like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering how Wichita's competition compares with Clemson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigers: Casey Mize, RHP, Auburn Mize's last two regular-season starts were his worst of the year, but his combination of stuff and precision is still unparalleled in this Draft. Georgia Tech catcher Joey Bart appears to be Plan B, and Detroit also is keeping tabs on Wichita State third baseman Alec Bohm, Wisconsin high school outfielder Jarred Kelenic and Florida right-hander Brady Singer.
