With all of the uncertainty in the world cash is king. They also have less leverage this year, a lot more to lose, and they were just drafted by an org that has an abundance of pitching (they don't have to be rushed) and which has a reputation for developing pitchers. Really there isn't a lot of incentive for either of these guys to negotiate their way out of this situation IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtySox Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think Tink is the last dude that I really want. But probably not affordable with the Kelley selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's 2.65M + max penalty perhaps right there for Kelly. We will see what they do in the 3rd round (0.733M slot). We really shouldn't have to give up the 4th and 5th rounders for this IMO. 1 minute ago, HollywoodTim said: They also have less leverage this year, a lot more to lose, and they were just drafted by an org that has an abundance of pitching (they don't have to be rushed) and which has a reputation for developing pitchers. Really there isn't a lot of incentive for either of these guys to negotiate their way out of this situation IMO. If I had to guess id say Crochet takes about $3.1- $3.2mil and Kelly takes $3mil Crochet is in college, who knows what happens next year. No way can you turn down $3mil over $200k-$500k. Kelly has more leverage because likely in 2-3 years things are back to normal and he is younger. I think that Crochet has to get more than Kelly but it wont be that much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 How much money could the Sox really have left? They are kind of stuck now the rest of the way, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These two will take up pretty much all of their pool in regards to signing anyone else of real sneaky talent. Doesn't mean they can't find someone seniors and etc. Great draft, but sometimes I do prefer quantity - especially with the risk of SP's. That said, these two guys have great builds and upsides and could be exciting. Role the dice enough and things will come up how you hope. I don't believe so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's seniors the rest of the way, or juniors they're praying are concerned about having a packed draft next year. I'd say seniors though.

He had first 15 money all over him in this draft. Gotta believe that sox aren't getting a discount really at 11 either. Sox are going to be spending, I'm guessing, 4.2 and 3.5 on the top 2 picks. that's 7.7 which is there pool. At best, maybe 4.2 and 3, and they have .5 left. Nothing. I think Sox worked it out to fit those two under pool, and rest of the way is a punt. Those guys both could argue top 15 money which is the entire pool Edited June 11, 2020 by Look at Ray Ray Run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that Crochet has to get more than Kelly but it wont be that much. I would disagree in general about a HS pitcher who just got the chance to be a multimillionaire turning down out of leverage unless he's like Al Leiter's kid or something. Most people in this country have no idea whatsoever what it is like to see that kind of money, especially a kid. I think he's crazy not to sign unless his family is rich.

I'm guessing Sox have spent 7.5 million min of their 7.7. They have nothing left. This is a two man draft + seniors. 11th slot is 4.57; Sox could MAYBE push him back to 15-16 money at 3.7. Then their 2nd round pick wanted top tier money, and was as high as 10 on some boards. In the second, if you gave him top 15 money he'd probably forego school. Maybe top 20. That's another 3.25 min.
