So someone break it down for me. One area I'm not great with. 

What would the Sox need to do to get both these guys signed? What is Kelly in theory asking for, and what is slot for that pick? If they were to sign him, what does that mean for picks 3-4-5? 

Crochet has a slot of $4.5 million.  If he takes say a million dollar haircut, they can pay Kelley $2.5.  If Crochet signs for $3 million they can also push about $3 million to Kelley.  Both of those figures are without the extra 5% they can go over without penalty, which amounts to about $385k extra.  

So a scenario like Crochet signing for $3.5 means they could move the other million over to Kelley, plus the other almost $400k they can go over without penalty would put Kelley right at $3 million.

Even if both come to about 6.3M total we are pretty much already there.  I bet we take a legit prospect 3rd overall.  Maybe a RP.  I was looking at Christian Chamberlain, something like that.

They will be north of 6.3. They are north of 7. 6.3 would be well below what they can demand and are looking for.

So the draft is over for the Sox though, right? 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.

If we saved a decent amount on Crochet, no.  Not even close.
