Most everyone on here thought Anderson, Shawaryn, Nogosek, Marrero would sign for under slot last year as well.

All the picks are slot value so far for the Red Sox IMO.

Decent power was 8 extra base hits in 99 at bats. With wood bats against top collegiate pitching

Would he really sign for less than say 400k? Don't expect fireworks in Rounds 4-10, but they should take at least one guy who needs something overslot. Personally, I prefer using any savings to go a little overslot on a couple/few guys (think Ockimey, Steen, Kemp, and Fisher from 2014), as opposed to using the majority on a single guy (think Logan Allen in 2015 or Buttrey in 2012).

So far, 3 picks: 1 college arm, 1 college bat, 1 HS bat. Do I hear a HS arm? Kyle Hurt would be a very exciting pick.....but I already worry about affordability for HS guys with pedigree past Round 4.

Keith Law:
90. Jake Thompson, RHP School: Oregon State
Thompson works in the low 90s with a big, upper-70s curveball and a rough delivery with no windup and late pronation that would be uncommon for a big league starter.

Frankie Piliere @fpiliered1 3 min. There goes Jake Thompson @beaverbaseball to the #RedSox - outstanding breaking ball, commands, has size and works mostly 91-94
Michael Lananna @mlananna 2 min. Boston takes OSU's Jake Thompson. Second-best ERA in the country. Like his slider. Sharp break. Low to mid-90s.
Michael Lananna @mlananna 2 min. I see Jake Thompson as a reliever. Throws from stretch exclusively. When I saw him, he pitched off his slider. FB velo jumps in short stints

I'll say it first: reliever profile who should move fast, and will have to if he's 23 in September. This year's Nogosek?

You basically have to either think that selecting him is where it's at or that he's a lost cause and picking him would be a loser. Why? Because of a stress fracture in his back?

Nope, that's why I was so confused.

Granted, it's a terrible song, but isn't "Wow" a Beck tune? Or did I fumble my attempt to be hip?

Oregon State is in the CWS (and should make a deep run). My guess is he will go to Lowell after, but will pitch very sparingly.

Well, that was underwhelming. Hopefully an underslot guy? Maybe a little, but with a slot value of just over 500k....I can't imagine he's taking too much of a discount as a college junior. Our guys probably just really liked the bat. I'd say slot or near slot is most likely. Tate Matheny 2.0. Makes AAA at 25 and has a 3-year taxi squad career. Yuck, my least favorite type of pick.

There is your overslot signing. Alex Scherff, RHP (no 59 on BA list).

Keith Law:
55. Alex Scherff, RHP School: Colleyville (Texas) Heritage HS
Scherff is 91-94 mph with some late life, can spin a good curveball and has a changeup now. So the arsenal is there for him to start, but the short stride in his delivery is a potential risk factor for him to end up in the bullpen

Might not have liked the 3rd round pick, but hard to argue with rounds 4 & 5.
