Trying to read about the "anchors" that are in Nick Yorke's right shoulder. They are now often used in rotator cuff surgery, although no one has said he had that. They are permanent. I know nothing about this except what I've read at this link.. "Traditionally, when rotator cuff repairs were done with larger, open approaches the solution was to create tunnels in the bone and pass stitches through the tendon and the bone tunnels. This technique is still used. But since arthroscopic techniques were developed surgeons have employed a now, widespread technology called “anchors” to repair the tendon to bone. Anchors are small devices, made of metal, plastic or bone-like material. They look like small bullets with wings or ridges, that help secure them in bone and an eyelet through which suture passes. The bullet shape helps them tunnel into bone. When an anchor is buried into bone the sutures effectively come out of the bone and can then be passed through tendon tissue. Once the surgeon passes the sutures through the torn tendon, he or she can throw a few knots and tie the tendon back down to the bone. Anchors usually work very well. The complication rates with them are low. And they are used very commonly for many different problems. Anchors are permanent implants for the most part. As long as they are buried in bone and that bone holds well, they typically stay for life. Some common operations in which we use anchors are rotator cuff repair, labrum repair and capsule plication." drmatthewdipaola.com/anchors-away-tiny-devices-help-shoulder-big-way/

If only we had as many doctors on the board as we have lawyers. I seem to remember 10 or 15 armchair surgeons chiming in on Verdugo and Sale.

The more I see the videos the more im loving Yorke. He may have the nicest swing I have seen in awhile...especially for a kid as young as him.

This reaffirms my suspicions. They'd done the scouting so they probably had a lot more info about his current status than some other teams. By any measure this has been a very difficult season for evaluations. But the Sox did take advantage of the tiny opening in the window before it was slammed shut.

I'm intrigued by the pick and I like that 10 different evaluators got a look at the kid. They must have all been on board.

The claim that his bat is as good as any high school bat. ... on the west coast reminds me of this song:
The Most Beautiful Girl Song by Flight of the Conchords
Yeah Looking 'round the room I can tell that you Are the most beautiful girl in the room (In the whole wide room) And when you're on the street Depending on the street I bet you are definitely in the top three Good looking girls on the street, yeah Depending on the street, ooh

It's just a short write up that I think was posted elsewhere: Some evaluators believe Yorke is the best pure hitter on the west coast, among high schoolers. A 6-foot, 195-pound shortstop committed to Arizona, Yorke has a long track record of performing as a high schooler, with a well-balanced swing that’s routinely on time. This spring before the coronavirus shut down the 2020 season, Yorke was tapping into a bit more power as well, hitting the ball with authority to the pull side and up the middle. He has a chance for a future plus bat and fringe-average power while handling a middle infield spot. Yorke dealt with a shoulder injury prior to his junior year and is still recovering from that, which leads some scouts to believe he’ll be a better fit as an offensive second baseman. Still, other scouts have said his arm has looked good, with a better arm stroke recently and above-average arm strength. With solid footwork, instincts and an internal clock, he has a chance to stay at shortstop, or he could slide to third base. Wherever he ends up defensively, teams love the bat that Yorke brings to the table. There are a number of teams that have Yorke evaluated in the second- or third-round range, but he could be a difficult sign out of Arizona.

Didn't someone in the front office actually say they really wanted Yorke and didn't believe he'd be available with their 3rd rounder?
If we take them at face value, then it seems like the Sox really wanted Yorke, and it was losing their 2nd rounder that forced them to take him in the 1st. Any savings were just a bonus.

Well, they took Groome who supposedly could have been a number 1 overall, but fell to 12 due to attitude concerns (which thankfully doesn't seem to be an issue with him as a professional). Still, 4 years later and he's still not a top 100 (granted, he got TJ, but wasn't exactly lighting the world on fire in limited action). I still have high hopes for the kid though. Point is, just never know, so I'm hoping Chaim did his homework on the kid and knows something that these national ranking outlets don't.

Not to get too off topic but weren't the "off the field" concerns more about his family than Groome himself?

It wasn't directly reported, just that there was "off the field" concerns. Either way, it doesn't appear to have affected his status as a pro, which is nice. The larger point though is that his talent screamed "top of the draft" and there was external reasonings as to why he fell. So far, the overall consensus have been wrong about him. I'm hoping the inverse is true for Yorke (but still hoping they were right about Groome).

Correct that they said that they didn't think he'd be there in the third. However, it seems he also was going to require a much larger bonus than they had available in the third anyway, and they did value him as a first-rounder. Certainly in valuing him versus a PCA or something, the fact that they were going to have significant savings (which may not be quite as large as some of us here thought based on what I'm hearing, but I've also heard he's probably getting more than Jordan) would factor in somewhat, but this isn't a situation where they thought they were getting a grossly inferior player with that pick either.
