I would typically pooh-pooh the idea of that all things considered, but the college pitching is pretty dang shallow in this draft if you don't believe in some of the guys with question marks. I could see someone going there if they got the mandate of college pitching or bust. Someone on the broadcast said that from the Big 12 tournament on he's made himself 2-3 million dollars and I think that's pretty much right. |

According to them he averaged 97.6 mph with his FB. Please if Connor Prielipp is already taken I want this kid. |

I know. But, I think Clemens had 3 shutouts by this time his draft year. I loved early June draft and Lowell or Elmira for us old heads |

Kinda weird that there's enough seniors in the "Top 300" to make up "most" of the 75 who declined the physical.
There was some debate about this rule in the offseason. If this rule is actually there to benefit the players, then the player who does the physical should retain the ability to waive the no-underslot rule on draft day. Then you get the best of both worlds - players that teams are willing to commit to on draft day get a bonus floor if something bad happens, and the 250th ranked player can cut a nice deal for himself in the third round.

Odd how they worded it as "only 75%" when last year I believe it was around 30%. |

What are people's preferences looking like right now?
Subject to change but I'm thinking something like this:
Unlikely to reach #24: Druw Jones, Brooks Lee, Termarr Johnson, Jackson Holliday, Jace Jung, Gavin Cross, Daniel Susac, Kevin Parada, Jacob Berry, Cam Collier, Zach Neto
My top 10 of remaining players:
1. Chase Delauter
2. Dylan Lesko
3. Jett Williams
4. Cooper Hjerpe
5. Connor Prielipp
6. Drew Gilbert
7. Brock Porter
8. Eric Brown
9. Kumar Rocker
10. Owen Murphy

Chase Delauter 2. Dylan Lesko 3. Jett Williams 4. Cooper Hjerpe 5. Connor Prielipp 6. Drew Gilbert 7. Brock Porter 8. Eric Brown 9. Kumar Rocker 10. Owen Murphy My top 10, college only (I have no idea on HS guys) 1) Connor Prielipp (this is contingent on the Sox actually believing in him physically, which I have no way of judging on my own). 2) Chase DeLauter (in the sort of unmolded block of clay sense, I think he needs a swing change but the raw ingredients are so enticing - but also gotten very limited looks on the guy so idk) 3) Cooper Hjerpe (I think there's 0% chance he doesn't at least make the majors as a reliever given the arm angle, but he needs to add both velo to the fb and multiplane action to the breaking ball - and he doesn't look like the type of athlete who'll easily handle it). 4) Drew Gilbert (at least average across the board and the potential for more if he can cut down on some bad habits). 5) Jordan Beck (I might be underrating him because I found him to be annoying - Gilbert pushed him from CF, but he has enough athleticism to try him there as a pro. If he can refine the approach, the bat speed and power potential are legit special). 6) Justin Campbell (has all the building blocks of a starting pitcher, beginning with a bat missing fastball). 7) Brock Jones (the stats on breaking balls are well known, but he's a hyper athlete and there's real reason to think that focusing on just one sport will help there). 8) Eric Brown (he hits the ball hard as hell and is a great athlete, weird swing be damned). 9) Thomas Harrington (he's a college arm with a fastball in the mid nineties and can throw two different breaking balls, what else do you want me to say?). 10) Gabriel Hughes (good stuff, strong fb, looks like he was breaking down by the end of the year - not convinced physically) or 10b) Blade Tidwell (stuff doesn't wow me as much as it should, but maybe he'll develop as a pitcher, has the body for it). |

1. Connor Prielipp
2. Sterling Thompson
3. Chase DeLauter
4. Cayden Wallace
5. Jordan Beck
Later rounds: Ben Joyce and that 105mph fastball of his. And Oraj Anu for the trifecta.

Going to assume that DeLauter, Cole Young, Jett Williams, and Lesko are gone by our pick: 1. Drew Gilbert 2. Brock Jones 3. Peyton Graham 4. Connor Prielipp 5. Cooper Hjerpe 6. Cade Horton (I'm bought in, he looked nearly untouchable in the CWS) 7. Sterlin Thompson Honestly the only guys that would be pretty underwhelming to me would be Beck or Wallace, anyone else would be pretty exciting or, if they go surprise lower-ranked guy, surprising in a fun way. |

The draft is still so far away, why exactly did they do this? They trying to kill us?

Dream scenario guys that don’t think will drop but I’d run with the card to the podium if they are there. (Within reason obviously)
1) Zach Neto
2) Dylan Lesko
3) Connor Prielipp (From what I have listen to in some podcasts it looks like he is “rising” after the strong showing at the combine).
Now my actually realistic pref list:
1) Tucker Toman
2) Jett Williams
3) Chase DeLauter
4) Cooper Hjerpe
5) Kumar Rocker
6) Drew Gilbert
7) Jacob Melton
8) Dylan Beavers
9) Walter Ford
10) Henry Bolte
11) Cayden Wallace
12) Jacob Miller
13) Owen Murphy
Some “deeper sleepers” that I like also: Brandon Sproat, Chase Shores, Brycen Mautz, Adrian Rodriguez, Tanner Schobel, Gavin Kilen, Cutter Coffey, Colby Thomas, Andrew Walters.

To the extent you're serious about the question part, they hope by having it over the ASB, more attention will be paid. FWIW, front offices hate it being this late as well, as they have about a month in which the draft calendars for this year and next overlap. |

FWIW, front offices hate it being this late as well, as they have about a month in which the draft calendars for this year and next overlap. They are definitely trying very hard to emulate the NFL and NBA drafts. I think both of those events are close to jumping the shark. I want to know about the prospect and their skills, not how they were raised by their grandmother while one parent OD'd and the other is no where to be found. Too much focus about what the prospects overcame to where they are now. We get it. Not everyone had a golden life growing up. |

Count me in on the Prielipp train if he is there. He's my number one. Robby Snelling and Jackson Ferris are two HS lefties I really like, but that is also probably the riskiest profile in the draft, and I am not sure either fall to 24.
1. Prielipp LHP Alabama
2. Tucker Toman 3B HS
3. Cade Horton RHP Oklahoma
4. Kumar Rocker RHP Indy
5. Cooper Hjerpe LHP Oregon St
6. Carson Wisenhunt LHP ECU
7. Logan Tanner C Miss St
8. Walter Ford RHP HS
9. Cayden Wallace 3B Arkansas
10. Peyton Graham SS Oklahoma
I've decided that the college OF class is so similar IMO that I don't want any of them at 24, and think they can take 2-3 guys at 41, 79, and 99 that have similar profiles.
One of those mid round guy, I am intrigued by is Alan Roden form Creighton. Elite bat to ball skills, and a 3% K rate this season.

How funny would it be if the Sox took Jud Fabian 41st overall and offered 70% of slot? How is next years draft looking? Jokes aside, I'm interested to see where he lands and what he gets.
You will never get this 10 seconds back.

You will never get this 10 seconds back. They can't draft Fabian without his permission, which he denied. Well that steals all my fun. I going to deduce here that this is a rule, that a team can't redraft a player without their consent. I did not know that, but now that we're talking about it I think I remember learning about that before and had just forgotten. Jokes aside (and I by no means want to steer the conversation here because I know he's not an option), it will be interesting to see what he gets. I'm not sure if he's going to get more or less but I don't think he's going to pay a Karsten Whitson price either. |

If he is still on the board, does Bradley Neal have enough hit tool for the Sox to take him at 79?

A lot of pitchers on these wish lists. The one trend that I think you can maybe think is real is that the top 6 bonus offers this admin has given out were to hitters.
