mac9001 Posted July 14, 2024 Share Posted July 14, 2024 Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if Smith starts in AA next year and is really for the bigs mid season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Looking at guys like Basallo and Rushing being potential targets from teams that could really use Sox players, that's not a bad call.

Yes, the Sox need impact bats in their system, but those can be acquired multiple ways. And as so many others have mentioned, what do you trust the Sox developing…bats or arms? So I have very little issue with the choice Expand I don’t think I believe BPA exists in the mlb draft. Sometimes it does, but mostly at like 1-1 only.

Makes profile risk a secondary consideration. Expand Yeah, I mean. If I'm steel-manning it, Smith is surest guy in the draft to be a significant big leaguer. The sox can't f*** him up, really. I'm just having trouble with the volatility of the injury risk given the org is so objectively far away from contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
