Detmers is an advanced lefty with a limited ceiling.

Lower levels definitely need more influx of younger talent. Expand On 2/14/2020 at 2:44 PM, Y2Jimmy0 said: I think the Sox are going high school in round 1 and more prep focused overall. Hopefully these college guys push preps down the board. Expand If not, I feel like it'll be similar to last year where we took the BPA, a college player, and go HS heavy the rest of Draft Good way to sustain a deep system, and the LatAm signings that appear to be happening 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I'd be fine always going advanced college first round if they always experimented with preps in 2nd/3rd/4th like last year 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we drafted last years draft at 11 I wouldn't have profiled any specific type, though I guess Manoah was fine. I think sox may have gone Priester then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 I don't disagree but keep an eye on Heston Kjerstad, strapping switch-hitting OF at Arkansas. SEC Freshman player of the year. Strong overall tools with power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Max Meyer was 97-99 with a 90-92 slider. I'm not a fan of the frame or the effort level but holy fuck does this dude have an electric arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 So if writeups (pretty much how I judge people) Masyn Winn is one of my favorites to maybe have budget for in round 2. Any big positives negatives around him? Guessing his bat is more raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Real good athlete. 2 way guy. Undersized right hander with big arm strength. I liked him better as a hitter. He has bat speed and can really run. I'm not sure he can stick at SS but he should be good in CF. I think he's a Vandy guy so not sure 2nd round money will do it.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Yeah Arkansas is better. He has to worry about getting cut there. Chief Wahoo loves the young ones. Blaze Jordan in the 1st and MacKenzie Wainwright in the 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSoxJon Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 Love Andrew Vaughn, he's gonna be a good player and was the undisputed the right move at #3 last year But this Torkelson kid looks even better to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) I'm going to be legitimately shocked if the Sox don't take Ed Howard if he maintains where he's currently ranked.
