Maybe they'll pick overslot guys on day 3. We need an official Soxtalk PuntOMeter for every time you misuse this term. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mac9001 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Really solid draft. Love the arms and there's at least intrigue with the Seniors. Comine this year's stock with some of the other young arms and the laws of baseball say we should at least hit on a few. At least we're laying the ground work for a home grown future rotation. The Sox don't have a single home grown (drafted) product in the rotation and Davis Martin probably finds himself in a bullpen role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Interesting article about Michael Turner, the catcher from Arkansas: https://www.uatrav.com/sports/article_982d690a-ba91-11ec-b76d-ef92d9c7e99f.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I’m guessing 7-10 are like $10K signings. Pallette and Cannon are overslot but probably not by a ton. They’ll have some room tomorrow. I bet every player they draft tomorrow gets more money than anyone in rounds 7-10. Think of those guys as picks 17-20. It’s much easier that way.

Lillian Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 The more that I learn about Camilletti, the more I like him. It wouldn't surprise me if this kid becomes a Big Leaguer and has a decent career. His extraordinary on base ability, and good glove could make him a very productive lead off hitter and second baseman. He may be 5' 9" but he looks very strong. He should hit a lot of doubles, and an occasional homer. It will be interesting to see his prospect ranking, in the Sox system. They have some intriguing middle infielders; Montgomery, Sosa, Rodriguez, Yolbert, and now Camilletti and Sprinkle. Sprinkle's glove and base running should translate to the pros. If he learns to hit a little better, he could surprise a lot of people. Guys can learn to hit, but you can't teach speed, agility and athleticism in the field, especially at SS.

I've always thought with later picks that great fielders who are fast but the hit tool questionable should be taken more. It's just harder to teach an iron glove to field better than it is to teach a highly athletic guy a few things he could try to improve his hitting, especially a guy like Sprinkle who was hitting well but then fell apart. Cameletti probably won't be ranked in the Sox top 30 picks. Probably won't even get an honorable mention. As an 8th rd draft pick he's going to have to prove it on the field to get any notice unlike top picks who get more leeway in that regard. Any hype you see now in the thread is just some guys messing around or picking out a favorite based on looks or beard or how their attitude translates to video. With the Sox money pool for the draft they spent a lot of it in the 1st 6 rounds and rounds 7-10 are seniors or 5th year Seniors who will sign for very little and are even considered throw away picks where the Sox can save some money and then take chances on guys considered unsignable in the later rounds by throwing extra money at them. (Usually HS kids with firm college commitments or holding out for a certain amount of money) Edited July 19, 2022 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Tim Elko and Jake Burger are remarkably similar. One could be named Jake Elko and the other Tim Burger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
