Timmy U Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 An example of the risk involved in drafting TJS guys: Connor Prielipp is scheduled for another UCL surgery. Having one repair is no longer a guarantee you won’t have another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure. 11 & 12 are probably overslot as well, but I can’t imagine huge dollars. Will be interesting to see how much Wolkow gets.

Even if it’s like $4.2 million, I’m guessing Taylor is in $1-$1.3 range and Keeler is like 800-900K. Wolkow should be around $1.2 million as well. That’s pretty close to their pool. The Wolkow number is heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Taylor was a reach and he signs for full slot. Gonzalez was picked around where projected, and he goes way underslot. Weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor was a draft-eligible sophomore, meaning if he didn’t get a number, he could go back to LSU next year. Gonzalez was a Junior. If he didn’t sign, he’d be lowballed next year as a senior. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel real dumb because when I initially saw they drafted him on the draft tracker, I saw 4YR-SO and my brain just saw "4YR-S_" I thought we punted with a senior as our #2 pick for savings. Getting a sophomore (who is apparently talented, just coming off injury) to sign for slot value instead of returning to LSU (where he could possibly up his value) seems like a pretty sound gamble from both sides.

Bargain at that price IMO. This bonus leaves the Sox right around $1.6 million to play with. George Wolkow is signing officially tomorrow. He's in Kannapolis. I'm guessing he's getting close to $1 million. Gordon is probably $150-$200K. $10K or so for Franklin. That would allow them to do like $250K each for Nishida and LaCombe if they need to as well. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
