Worst case scenario I'd be thrilled with Lawlar. Hoping for Leiter. Can't imagine Mayer falls to 4. On advice, I’m re-reading pp 9-12 and this is the best way it could’ve started. I didn't even dare dream of Mayer slipping to 4. I am so thrilled he did. The irony is about six months to a year ago when Kumar or even Leiter was no 1, I think Mayer was projected to be a potential 4th pick so I predicted the Sox get Mayer, but as time went on and Rocker struggled and Leiter had a brief rough stretch and Davis ascended I figured Mayer was going to be picked first and for good reason and the Sox wouldn't have a shot. I was so pleasantly surprised.

Precisely. Last year's "season" was so oddball, who cares what happened? What a time to flush a year down the toilet to get a high pick. The combination of COVID (right up my alley education/training-wise), the Mookie trade (I will always be pissed they didn’t get Patiño, and that Mookie signed right away, meaning he probably orchestrated it), and the weirdness of the season—especially no minors—and I spent all of 1 hour on baseball last year. I’ve never been remotely that disinterested about baseball. It was way worse even than my every-Sunday-watchin’ to “meh, better things to do” response to the ‘07 Pats (luck or no, they just got out-hustled…still kills me). I was *psyched* they stunk once the year ended, though, for exactly the reason you say. Sorry, 2020 Dodgers, but it doesn’t really count. I'm with you. I watched almost no sports at all last year. It seemed so half-assed and uninteresting. I also pretty much gave up tv altogether. I now have many nights where all I do is listen to music. Only the Super Bowl was interesting because of Brady, but other than that, I didn't care. I barely followed the offseason even. I started watching again in spring training and DID make a comment on an article on The Athletic where I said that this team reminds me of 2013. But still, I skip games this year and turn them off much earlier if they're frustrating to watch. My priorities have changed. I'm only going to do what makes me happy now.
