Obviously it depends on where he goes and how much he gets offered, but Morlando strikes me as the type of player who might do well to re-establish some of that value at South Carolina. Since it sounds like he'll be limited to 1B and the outfield corner, raking against better competition will help him out. He'll also be a draft eligible sophomore. Of course... the danger is that he goes to SC and just doesn't rake. |

Top 100 HS hitters who would not be the oldest HS pick drafted since Chaim was hired: 9 Konnor Griffin SS/OF 27 Slade Caldwell OF 39 Tyson Lewis SS 40 Carter Johnson SS 53 Braylon Payne OF 92 Noah Franco OF/LHP Still trying to wrap my head around what you're saying here. What do you mean? |

I don't understand (which is nothing new, to be fair) High school seniors will vary in age by about a year and a half. The Red Sox under Chaim were 10 for 10 in drafting players from the youngest third or so of their class (dunno exact percentile), and it's more extreme if you take out super chalk pick Marcelo Mayer. It is often said that the spreadsheet love the young for their class players although I'm not aware of any public study. |

They really have taken the life out of the draft pushing it so far.

They really have taken the life out of the draft pushing it so far. Not only do we have fewer minor league teams. First year players lose 1 1/2 months of nice weather to play in their first year. SMH |

Taking Honeycutt and leaving Moore, Yesavage, Smith, and Kurtz on the board would leave me physically ill.

I'm fine with passing on Cam Smith, and trust their judgement on Yesavage if they don't take him. Kurtz would be the tough one for me

He's the guy that raised his stock the most at the CWS and the Angels are taking some college hitter who can be in the majors ASAP... |

Yeah even as the resident Honeycutt guy #onhere I'm not in love with some of the options they'd be passing up in that scenario.

My top 4 @ 12 are (1) Griffin, (2) Rainer, (3) Yesavage, and (4) Caminiti. I’d like to go BPA and think getting any of these 4 into the system provides immense value.

Highly doubt the Red Sox pass on Kurtz because they have Casas. If they rate him as one of the best hitters/prospects in the class as he was rated coming in to the year they will take the value.

Piling on, Keith Law and the other draft “expert” (name escapes me) at The Athletic, said it’s probably the most top heavy and lowest on talent draft they’ve seen in 20 years. Law speculated that neither Condon nor Bazzana would’ve cracked the top 5 last year (which was loaded). FWIW |

Thought I read Yesavage profiles as more mid rotation starter?

I think it's reasonable to give Kurtz a mild demerit on account of Casas blocking him. Doesn't mean I would avoid him at all costs. I would give a bigger demerit to a college catcher.

If recent history is an indicator that could easily happen. They have rushed their last two first round college bats to the bigs with limited success. Not sure how their GM hangs on to his job. He has been a disaster IMO. And their farm system is rock bottom on every list I have seen. |
