I wonder if the Nats acquiring the 39th pick in the Harvey deal will have them looking to save some money in the first round, pushing someone down; am I overthinking, more than likely

Kiley added a 2nd round to his mock and has the Sox taking Cole Mathis, 1b, College of Charleston at 50.

Would be a big fan of Gillian at 12 under slot. Would save enough money to get a pitcher to drop to 50 and should be enough to get another 7 figure bonus in round 3

I believe that Christian Moore will go to 10 to cut a deal as much as I love Seaver King . William Schmidt would be next in line for me. Solid fastball fantastic curve ball . Maybe over-slot deal .

Yes: Anyone that falls, Slade Caldwell underslot, the switch pitcher
Fine whatever: Yesavage, any of the half dozen reasonable college bats, Theo Gillen underslot
No: Christian Moore (don't like his vibes), any HS pitcher

I hated the Moore pick, and seemingly he’s been mocked to the Sox the most but the more I’ve read up on him the more I don’t hate it. It sounds like the bat is legit.
If he’s going 10, someone is falling.
It’s hard to believe someone isn’t falling to us. The question is how the Sox feel about said player. That probably determines whether we take said player or perhaps cut a deal with someone like Theo.
FWIW my sons name is Theo (yes he’s named after Theo Epstein) and he’s pretty awesome.

Yesavage feels safe and appropriate to me if he is there at 12. Brecht may attract me with name recognition mostly, but I do prefer a college pitcher if possible, so he it is for plan B.
or
If Kurtz falls and plan A is gone, I'll take the big bopper corner infielder. Cam Smith fits here as well. One of these guys may fit in perfectly with Yoshida's departure. Then find a pitcher at #50.

I am not as huge on Moore as others, but I live in TN, so part of that might just be oversaturation of hearing his name and seeing him play. The bat seems good, and it should translate ok enough. I just think we can, and should do better at 12. The big issue for me with Moore is that there isn't really a situation where I'm like "yes, this is the pick I wanted them to make", because of that. If we're looking at BPA, Moore isn't likely to be the best one on the board, and if we're looking to save money, I think we can save more money and get a comparable talent.

If we’re looking to cut a deal I love Seaver King . Perhaps Tommy white would be more in savings.

Cutting a deal is only half of it, there needs to be guys to spend the money on in later rounds. Given how this draft class has been panned, is that a wise strategy?

A couple of college arms that I like outside the first…
Daniel Eagan from Presbyterian. Saw a big jump in velocity this year with room for more good weight to his frame. Good curve and slider, throws strikes, just needs to figure out a change up.
Luke Sinnard from Indiana missed this past season recovering from TJ but was thought to Be a 2nd round talent at one point. He’s 6’8 and 250, throws strikes, mostly 91-93 with fastball but was up to 96. Although he is pretty filled out I imagine he could see some additional sitting velocity as we e seen tall, filled out guys gain a few ticks later in development. 114k/25 bb ratio in 86 innings as a sophomore. MLB has him ranked 185, think I’ve seen him higher elsewhere.

Draft eligible players like Moore (pseudo 2B) typically remind me of the Kolbrin Vitek pick in 2010 (1-20). Without a true defense home, their floor is lower than you'd expect. soxprospects.com/players/vitek-kolbrin.htm

Law:
I'm hearing from a team selecting in the 11-14 range that they are anticipating all of the top-10 picks coming from the college ranks. As far as I'm aware, that's never happened.

Instead of 2024 logic, should we look at what has happened in the last couple of years. Mayer fell, Teel fell and so on.... do we look at someone in the top 7 dropping to 12. Hagen Smith, Rainer or Montgomery?
