Are we going underslot or trying to pick up a pick next year? Rounds 3-5 going to be super telling if we can wait until then...

Hope its well under slot & gives them some cash later in the draft to get a handful of high potential guys. But Christ, a second baseman? This is the effect of losing that second round pick...

Dan O'Dowd speculating possibility of Red Sox intentionally drafting a "tough sign", w/ worst case them not being able to sign this player, rolling it into 2021 DRAFT, when they've more time to assess players....
....or, that they really like the player enough, to go outside the consensus the top 100, with the 17th pick.

I'd imagine they're going to be picking more HS players with their 3-5 picks.

While everyone is disappointed about the pick, let's not trash the kid.

If they don't sign him and get pick next year, do they lose his slot money?

from Fangraphs Eric Longenhagen
Nick Yorke is ranked 165th on my board. I mentioned in my mock that they were a threat to cut really deep and go with high schoolers and tough signs throughout the entire draft, and that's what they're set up to do now.

I'm okay with this. He has a fabulous hit tool. There are lots of arms that will be available in rounds 3-5. It's a roll of the dice for sure. If he doesn't sign, we get a nice 1st round comp next year.

I have to say I don’t see the logic here.

What a waste of the #17 overall pick.
I will stand by this statement.

Chaim's first pick and we have to show everyone how smart we are. Lets say he sure has a big set of balls to do this.

While everyone is disappointed about the pick, let's not trash the kid. It's not trashing the kid, believe just disappointment that the FO has wasted it's top pick 2 consecutive years.

While everyone is disappointed about the pick, let's not trash the kid. Why? It's not like we have anything to be optimistic about right now in regards to baseball For starters, because it's against the our Forum Ground Rules regarding civil posting. Also, you just learned about this kid a few minutes ago.

Hate this plan. It’s a freakin 5 round draft. Why do they have to be more clever than everyone else? You are fortunate to get a couple MLB regulars from a given draft. They passed up 100 plus players generally considered better than this guy because they want to get tricky in the third round. Nice.

If this is a guy they intend to sign...question becomes how much will he sign for? $2.5M? $2.0M? Sox can absolutely make some interesting picks in Rounds 3-5 if so. I'm shocked, but we have to wait until tomorrow night to evaluate the entire draft because there's clearly a strategy in play here.

Well you can't miss having a 2nd round pick if you make the 2nd round pick in the first...
