Longenhagen said all of the 50 FV would immediately jump into the top 100 for him. So I would assume that he’s immediately top 7 at minimum?

LET'S GO!!!!
From my list last month...
"College players that represent a good mix of ceiling and floor:
1. Braden Montgomery, OF, Texas A&M – He was originally going to be #2 in the above tier, but with the injury, who knows. Injury aside, I think the upside would still make this a fantastic pick at this spot, and I still expect him to go top 10 when it’s all said and done. The athleticism and the power potential, especially with his bat speed when that’s a metric that’s entering the mainstream, will be too enticing. I do think he’s more or less locked into a corner outfield spot, though."
Seriously, I am so excited for this. I'm obviously super biased given my connection to A&M, but having seen this guy play so many times, I could not have been more impressed with him as a player and as a person.
We are now 1/1 in terms of Red Sox draftees that I have seen in person, and now back to back first round picks that I have!

Felt so bad for him when he got injured. Lots of people raving about him being a good kid and a winner. So pumped that he somehow landed here and looking forward to him getting back on the field and being a big part of the futurw.

I love the Sox strategy of just taking the guy other teams are too dumb to take and falls into their lap.

This feels so much like the Marcelo Meyer pick.

Only downside to this pick is we won't see him play until next year.

If an opportunity for a player like Montgomery falls in your lap, you have to take it. The ankle will heal and we have a potential star that could rise pretty fast !! Holy cow !!!

Nobody could have wanted Boston to hit the remaining pitching more than I, yet this pick leaves me ecstatic. So many picks before them weemed to be about saving slot, yet with the broken ankle.. Maybe this one is also?

Montgomery looked great last year when he played on the Cape. Very nice pick

This feels so much like the Marcelo Meyer pick. I was thinking the Teel pick. I love it. We just let the other teams make the pick for us. |

I love the Sox strategy of just taking the guy other teams are too dumb to take and falls into their lap. That has happened three times in the last four years now. We didn't expect MM to fall to 4 in 2021 or KT to fall to 14 last year. I have to say, though, I'd like to know about the injury. |
