They could feel similarly or better about Abel I'm just not in tune to it. Callis linked them to all the preps and Shirley said they really like the HS pitching class on the call today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkokieSox Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Interesting. Could Kelley be had under slot at 11? Could be a really nice pick over Abel if it leads to better opportunities in rounds 2 and 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 They would be passing on too much talent to underslot Kelley. The only guy I would consider an underslot deal with is Ed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he is sure to go to college why not just dangle a super high number out there and if you don't get it just don't sign? What can he gain by removing himself from the draft? He could also hint by his agent 3.5m or bust and if he doesn't get it just not sign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I'm going to call off either Wednesday or Thursday for the draft. Just don't know which day as I can only pick one (forever a prospect head). Help me out guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince34 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) I’m becoming a huge fan of Hassell. Love his swing and has big time ceiling. Not sure he will be there with Rockies and Angels having interest. Would be very happy with Hassell selection. Does anyone know if the Sox have taken a liking to Hassell?

Expand If your owner is a cheapskate you should get a competitive balance pick. It's funny how the Tigers get all these competitive balance picks but their owner was drafting players that fell, giving them MLB contracts, and handing out contracts larger than "recommended" bonuses. The Tigers got good players even after the Sox with the Poreda over Porcello thing I mentioned earlier in this thread. This garbage happened a lot. Good for the Tigers and their fans, bad for the Sox fans. I guess there's no Loser's Prize for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I'd cut a deal with Howard (who seems destined for WS). I'm happy either way, especially if we can add a fireballer or two in 2-5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
