They have additional compensation picks, so if Porcello is the pick they're not guranteeing much money for later picks. I'm hoping San Diego and San Francisco have similar reasons for not throwing 8 million at Porcello.

 

I would be perfectly fine with the Sox taking a "lesser" talent in the second round if they're able to land Porcello. Taking Porcello would certainly make a lot of people happy...

porcello is a boras client, probably isn't a coincedence he's fallen this far into the first round, even if he was available at 25, i dont see KW dealing with boras

If Main has since been taken, I expect Porcello to be selected.

 

We're not selecting until 89. What exactly are we saving the money for? Even with Boras as an agent, 8 million for one player of Porcello's calibur is a risk well worth the money.

I guarantee the Sox won't take him.

Seriously. The people rooting for Porcello to the Sox enjoy pain and suffering because it's not going to happen. I'm telling you guys: Nick Schmidt.

their past 18, and porcello is still left

 

where did many mock drafters have porcello going?

top 5 early on, but now later with the whole signability factor. The most potential out of any pitcher in the draft.

I'm worried about Los Angeles (20) and Texas (24) before us.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles took Smoker or Main, though. It's Texas which freightens me. Conventional wisdom would say one of their first rounders would be devoted to a pitcher, another a positional player, but Texas isn't exactly conventional.

 

Just for fun, I'll list my useless draft board.

1. BAP (Best Available Pitcher among Josh Smoker, Michael Main, Madison Bumgarner, Porcello)

2. Nevin Griffith (Most likely available at #25)

3. Matt LaPorta

4. Joe Savery (has recently begun to hit 95mph. Yes, he's a Rice pitcher; but before the season began he was a Top 10 selection.)
