He's not a senior. There was no season. Crochet has leverage. He is an elite talent who could easily go back to school and be 1-1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollywoodTim Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I think Kelley was the most excited I've been about a 2nd round pick since Ryan Sweeney. I'm trying to remember a more exciting 2nd rounder. I know Gio Gonzalez was a supplemental first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juniors have plenty of leverage. Especially juniors in a year with so many questions, whom throw 99 MPH with elite secondary pitches from the left side who happen to be huge. Seniors have no leverage - even less than the zero they usually have. A junior still has a little leverage, and he can say he'll sign for less but it's not 1+ million less imo. No way. Not a guy with his talent in a unique situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a college JR who had two really medicore seasons, and pitched like a god for three weeks. He also had a shoulder injury in that time. If he goes back, he has zero leverage next year as a SR. I have no doubt they saved some money just by the fact they obviously have a deal done with Kelley as well, so they know they can make him fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they're having to pay Kelley 3 to 3.5+ and again, the pool is spent. The draft is over for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nardiwashere Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Even though it’s supposedly a deep draft, if you are going to go quality over quantity, I think it makes sense to do it this year when there’s only 5 total rounds. How much quantity are we really missing out on? Or am I looking at it wrong? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me clarify: They got him under slot, but they got him for a lot less under slot than they just spent over slot on round 2. I think it's a lot less of a savings as you guys seem to believe.
