Got done playing at Cal in 2016, joined the Sox in 2017, worked his way up from intern. Dude must be very bright and must work incredibly hard, that’s an impressive rise

And this isnt one of those “nepotism” hires that their rise thru the ranks was because of who they knew. (Which is sadly wayyy to common in the broadcasting industry)

Who is the top SS from California in this draft? Might tip us off on who the Sox take.

I come home from a vacation tomorrow, but maybe I can put a google doc together for everyone to fill out their top ~50 and see what the forum’s composite top 50 will be.

Kiley McDaniel on HS SS Arjun Nimmala. It's about a half hour podcast. He ranks Nimmala 11th overall in the draft, but he obviously likes his upside quite a bit. He projects him to go 13th to the Cubs. www.espn.com/radio/play/_/id/37962063

Or at least a top 350-500 to copy for a dropdown/name bank

I’m off Sunday. I can’t wait for this draft we finally get some extra prospects and more money to play around on the monopoly board .
I just like the write up on the lefty. I’ll trust everyone here on the rest of the kids. Cam Killa Cam Johnson he settled at 42.
Over 10 million big ones .

Who is the top SS from California in this draft? Might tip us off on who the Sox take. The guys at the Pesky Report did a nice pod on the draft, and they offer this fun suggestion for a California SS: 224 (mlbpipeline) Boston Baro SS Capistrano Valley (CA)

Fangraphs mock: “ 14. Boston Red Sox Pick: Blake Mitchell, C, Sinton HS (TX) Miller’s name pops up at all three of these picks, and if the Cubs and Red Sox want him but have their pockets picked by the D-backs, they might each check down to a college safety valve. Maryland’s Matt Shaw is often mentioned in this general area, but Schanuel has been mentioned specifically with the Cubs (and as high as the Angels). I’m getting mixed signals on the BoSox, who have been mentioned with Mitchell and also as a team looking to cut a deal. It sounds like Stanford’s Tommy Troy is behind a bunch of the other college hitters on teams’ boards, so he might present the greatest savings here if that’s what Boston wants to do.” t.co/vrhcdMiNeRThe overwhelming consensus is that they're looking to save $ in the first, and significantly so. I'm very curious who they're honing in on at 50

It's been thrown out earlier that most likely if they took a guy at or around slot who isn't a surprise they'd probably slot in at that 8-10 range in the rankings. If they indeed do go underslot a decent amount to save money for an overslot guy in with their 2nd pick would they instead maybe be looking at their first rounder being in or around the 10 slot and maybe the 2nd pick slotting somewhere in the 15-18 range? Obviously we'd have to see who they took first before being able to figure that out but personally I wouldn't hate that approach. It's kind of what they did last year with Romero/Anthony.

Imagine if there was trading or trading is capped at 10th round. Or whatever. Now you talk some sizzle. If you could trade a front office could start dealing with there rule 5 problems.
It would be nice to have the draft at Fenway, I guess over at the Garden .

Just one source but based on the FG team rankings and draft pick FVs it's likely they would put an underslot guy and then an overslot guy in the 7-11 range and the 12-15 range respectively, depending on which guys they take. Obviously SP's view might be different, would guess this site will have each pick a little lower than that just using FG because their draft and system grades are recently updated. Add: Except FG is weirdly high on Tommy Troy and would have him in the 4-6 range in the Sox system but also thinks he might generate slot savings.

Unless I'm not interpreting things correctly, this scenario seems wildly optimistic. I disagree that it is wildly optimistic, go back to the rankings history for December 1st 2022, Mikey Romero is 7th and Roman Anthony is 9th. It is entirely possible that they could go underslot for a guy who would slot in around 10th in the system and save enough money to go overslot on a guy who could slide in the top 20 if not higher. They did it just last year.

I thought you were saying that the Sox could go underslot at #14 and still end up with like the 10th and 18th-best players in this draft class. Apparently, I shouldn't read this forum before I've had my morning coffee. My bad.
