Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Don't buy the power on Gonzales. He played in 4,000 elevation and against atrocious competition until he got his shit pushed in against Texas A&M. He's a league avg 2B. Hard pass.

I understand in other sports where you can trade picks, where you wouldn't necessarily want to broadcast who you like in fear that another team will trade in front of you to select that player. But in MLB? Is it all about negotiations with the players (like telling Abel's camp that the Sox are really interested in Crochet so they can cut a better deal with him)? To try to get a player you want to drop his number to fit your draft spending plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lead the Cape in OPS and finished tied for 5th in HRs, if he didn't do that he wouldn't be considered a top 10 pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I’m going with Hendrick or Hassell as our pick. Second round will definitely be a college pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn’t Kiley and/or other baseball analysts convinced we were going to take Singer two years ago? Misdirection is a KW special. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 That prospect live site that fathom posted now says. Quote 4:54 PM: Garrett Crochet is all but a lock to go no. 11 according to multiple sources. Austin Hendrick also looking like a strong possibility at 21 to the Cardinals.

ChiSoxFanMike Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Crochet’s stats aren’t that good, but I’ll trust the Sox if they see something in him. If the Sox are good at anything, it’s developing pitchers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 Funny binary choice between Detmers whose stuff people can’t seem to square up despite average velocity and Crochet who hitters seem to be able to square up too much despite elite stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 You guys are overthinking my tweet. Crochet interest seems orchestrated to me. Too many people have it.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 (edited) Shits moving fast. Numbers are getting real. Teams are figuring out they have a shot at signing guys they thought were unsignable. Even heard there may be a curveball at the top of the draft.
