It really was the best case scenario for the Sox, with Aiken and Kolek off the board. There really is no regret factor possible. They took the best guy available and now it's up to the gods.

 

Ya...unless Nola turns into a HOFer :lol:

I LOVE Kopech. That delivery is atypical with some deception. Would be absolutely stoked with him. Weaver is great too. Do they really have the money for Flaherty though? Supposedly looking for 2 million.

 

Yeah that would take some talk. Word is the org really sells their heath track record hard (and well) in talks so that could help.

Thank you. Do you think they for sure can sign Rodon? And will it be at slot or slightly above?

 

If Rodon is really looking for $6M like twitter rumors have said, then I don't think it should be a big deal to sign him. Maybe they get him to come down to slot value and promise a taste of the big leagues this fall like they did with Chris Sale.

 

Basically, do everything exactly the same they did with Sale. That seemed to have worked well. Hah.

Sean Newcomb would be the choice for best name if his parents named him Duke Newcomb instead.

 

Touki Toussaint probably takes that award, at least on Day 1.

 

Nope.

 

There is a player in this class with the name "Handsome Monica." Can't touch that.

Scouting director Doug Laumann said Carlos Rodon "pretty much was consensus guy we had targeted since his sophomore season."

Laumann" "He was consensus best guy on the board"

 

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36 1h

Teams were worried about Rodon's back which has given him problems, but at his best, he's the best player in this draft.

 

Daryl Van Schouwen ‏@CST_soxvan 5m

Laumann on Rodon signability: "personaly I don't (have concerns). Rick and Scott Boras have fairly good relationship.''

 

Scott Merkin ‏@scottmerkin 4m

Doug Laumann said he would be surprised if the CWS don't get Rodon in the fold

Handsome Monica? Probably takes the award for weirdest, but definitely not better than Duke Newcomb or Touki Toussaint.

 

Last year Stryker Trahan and Storm Throne were some pretty great ones.

This year has a Maverick Buffo too. Pretty sick.

In general, where would #44 rank in terms of our top 10 prospects? top 5?

 

Tough telling as we really don't know what we are going to do with the pick, esp if there are concerns over Rodon's signability.
