Wow! If they're taking him at 40, he's gotta be signing.
Going to be an underslot heavy rest of the day, though.

I'm admittedly pretty low on Fabian....the strikeouts really scare me. Hope I'm wrong!

It is kind of amazing to get Fabian here. His swing-and-miss may sink him, but, I mean, there was a time he was in the convo near the top. Wild.

For what it's worth... both my brothers went to UF, so I tend to follow their program closer than most.
If I recall correctly, Fabian had all kinds of issues making contact early in the year, but made some adjustments that lowered the K rate pretty substantially by the middle/end of the year.
Possible that not seeing live pitching for 9-10 months messed with his swing/timing?

So, clearly not an under slot guy. Meaning Mayer isn't going to hold us up over bonus demands.
Very exciting. Now let's grab a couple of decent Ps.

This makes sense, with so many college juniors being pushed into a senior year this year one would expect the "senior sign" class to be more stacked than recent years. So, you make a couple high end picks and you don't feel like you're throwing away those low bonus signings 4-10

Consensus best guy available who's not going to Clemson to play football.
I swear I was going to do a "maybe Fabian's contract demands were a ploy to make him available for the Sox" post and decided that made no sense. Now I'm wondering ...!

First two picks this draft combined with some previous (Blaze Jordan, Casas) might be indicating some emphasis on draft age in models.

Call me crazy, but this draft has been going so great for the Sox, I'm expecting to hear Mayer has already signed......for 5 million.

Diamondbacks take Ryan Bliss...a former Red Sox pick a few years ago.

Fabian is definitely a boom or bust pick, the swing and miss is scary, but I'm not sure if their is a higher upside pick in this years draft.

Jaden Hill to the Rockies. Again, if he's going this high, he must be signing.
