Not a lot of details but you can hear from the man himself.

I would like to call my shot here. Long shot, Chase Delauter falls to us. If not him, Brock Jones. If they’re both gone, I loved watching Jacob Melton this year he’s gonna be a major leaguer someday.

Also, that triggered this, which was a song when I was 6 or 7 years old: |

Was thinking this morning of using that on the pod if they took him. A little pissed off it's going to look like I'm stealing your idea now!  |

The kid can rake. He's at the top of my wish list, along with DeLauter, Prielipp, Rocker and Lesko. But I'd be ok with one the college bats (Gilbert, Thompson or Beavers). One of these players will be the pick at 24 unless Bloom pulls a fast one and drafts Beck, Horton or Jones. |

If they take Melton, Rushing, or Toman at 41 I’m dancing! |

So that could make for a potential left side of the infield of Blaze and Jett. |

I'm waiting for the Miguel Bleis promotion in August (very unlikely to happen) so we can have Blaze & Bleis in the same lineup.
But I definitely support the drafting of Jett Williams.

I think that Eric Longenhagen and/or Kiley McDaniel have said some teams feel better than ever that they can help pitchers throw harder with all the analytics tools they employ. Just anecdotally not hard evidence but you do hear each year of a few guys that start throwing harder in pro ball. Guys like George Kirby for example. Jalen Beeks |

Just pointing out that Snelling and Lesko would be available by the time the Sox are picking in this mock. Would love either. Maybe prefer Snelling b/c he hasn't had TJ and maybe is athletic enough that he never needs it? |

Here is a list of kids who have been mocked to the Red Sox by a national outlet and mentioned in this thread. They are ranked by number of mentions and then by recency of mention. Obviously, many outlets have done multiple mocks but I'm considering each mock to stand on its own, even if it's the same kid by the same mocker multiple times.
Jordan Beck (x7) (Pete Crow-Armstrong Award)
Sterlin Thompson (x4)
Jett Williams (x3)
Drew Gilbert (x3)
Brock Jones (x2)
Dylan Beavers (x2)
Kumar Rocker
Max Wagner
Dylan Lesko (post-TJ)
Justin Crawford
Hunter Barco (before he snapped his UCL?)
Cole Young
Logan Tanner
Kevin Parada
Yes, there have been 28 mocks mentioned in this thread. My general takeaway is that college OFs are being mocked to the Sox mainly because there are a lot of them that fall in the late-20s range. I don't think anyone has been mocked because they've been "linked" to BOS -- if we've learned only one thing about Chaim and the draft, it's that he runs a VERY tight ship.
My guess is that pick 24 will be the best pure hit tool left on the board or a pitcher with an unusually high K/BB for his age/level.

I feel like most are way too low on Jordan Beck's raw power. I'm not his biggest fan in the world (don't love him at 24 for instance) but it was basically between him and Crews for who was hitting home runs harder in the SEC this past season. |

I would like Rocker but I don’t see us breaking the bank for him. He’s probably after $4M + but we’ll see. I almost think Baltimore can get him with savings from their top pick.

One mock mentioned LHH catcher Malcolm Moore, McClatchy (Sacramento, Calif.) as a possible surprise pick (meaning the Sox would like him much more than the people doing the public mocks and rankings). www.maxpreps.com/athlete/malcolm-moore/4kf9b-qMEeiAxKkkK9HIDg/default.htm |

Just to confirm the posts above, it's zero percent because MLB rules only allow us to redraft him with his permission.
