Starting to think the #4 pick is the place to be in the draft. There are 4 legit 60 FV prospects with probably 1/2 legit stars at the top of the Draft. Teams picking #1-#3 have much more pressure than the sox at #4 and may look underslot.
I still want Mayer. Reminds me of Nomar.

Without the speed, but potentially more power if he develops some more loft.

The members of this board could not unanimously agree that being a rich, great lookikng genius would be a good thing, let alone agree upon any board member's assessment of any player. Lol, perfect. Might be my favorite post of the year. It is kinda cool to be referred to as a member of a board.

I get that everyone is salivating over the #4 pick and all, but I still say that the real benefit to drafting that high is not the first-round pick, but the fact that we are picking before almost all other teams in EVERY round of the draft.
Count me as wanting Henry Davis at #4. Though it's starting to matter less and less to me as it becomes more and more likely with each passing year that I will be dead before the player's full career is finished. Actually, that's an interesting philosophical question: As a fan of a particular team, does it really matter to me that the team sets itself up for success after I am dead?

I've been growing on the idea of Davis, too. Problem is that the catcher position seems riskier others. Taking a catcher #4 overall, you obviously hope for more of a Posey and less of a (insert highly touted catching prospect who didn't pan out at the big league level here). Looks to me like more guys are now playing themselves into top 5 consideration, which is always a good thing. I'd be happy with any of Leiter, Mayer, Lawlar, Davis. I've never really been very high on Rocker.

Hmm I ever never thought of that. Another question would be what are the mlb blackout rules in the afterlife?

In the Bad Place I assume you only get Cardinals games. You get all the episodes of Yankeeography on a loop. And you get Jon Sterling's Yankees Win call every hour on the hour.

I'm hopeful that one of the first three teams (Texas seems like the most likely) goes underslot, pushing Kumar or Lawlar to us.

I think we may have peaked too early on draft related thread gentlemen.

I don't understand why a high school player would take an underslot deal to go two spots higher (as opposed to, say, a full round).
