Yesterday everyone was ragging on me for wanting pitchers and no SS's. Looks like Breslow took my advice. Does this mean if it goes horribly, we can blame you?

The White Sox drafted someone who the tracker doesn’t even have the name.

We have a ton of middle infielders in the system who are very good. We don't have much in the way of pitching. So, you take lots of pitchers to catch up on that side. Does that make sense only to me?

This bolded part isn't even really correct. But the answer to your question is maybe! My preference is generally that the Red Sox draft good players, not lock into a singular position. Maybe that only makes sense to me.

When was the last time the Redsox let a player hit and pitch? Casey Kelly?

Tigers just went way over slot for a HS pitcher who is committed to Oregon St. Craig, maybe you could do the same for the top player on the board still who is also an Oregon St commit HS pitcher (Dax Whitney). I don’t think we have the money because BA said pre-draft he would be pricey, but I’m trying to will it into existence.

No senior picks through nine, right? Id assume they have some under slot deals in place with their first 4 picks if they think they can sign Carson.

Turner, White, Ehrhard left to right general theme: high contact, good eye. Maybe they look for guys they think they can make swing tweaks to to add power/bat speed

So the Yankees are going full Angels. Yikes 8 out of 9 picks pitchers so far. Kind of surprising since as much as I dislike them they generally seem to develop pitching well and don't exactly have a stacked pool of hitting prospect. Hopefully it works out about as well as it did for the Angels.

Anymore overslot guys will come tomorrow, I think Conrad was the big name to come off the board today for the Sox

They didn't really take a lot though. At least no more than in years past. It's just where they took them that changed. Someone else mentioned it, but Tolle and Neely are the highest picked pitchers since 2017. The last 2 years, they took 6 pitchers in the first 10 rounds.

Have a feeling myself, with him falling this far is he'll end up as a teenish pick and end up at OSU. He may have had a stronger commit than has been known to OSU all along. We just don't know and the level of talent didn't warrent 2-3rd round bonus money. We see this every year. It's part of what makes draft days so gloriously entertaining.

I’m in irrational denial that we can’t afford him. I may have to hope we pick him in 2026/2027.
