thegoodthebadthesox seems to always get his man so I'll predict the Sox win the lottery and get Jace LaViolette.

Interesting, 3 Catchers and only 2 pitchers in the college top 20. |

Based on what BA is saying, it seems like Jace is the clearcut guy at least right now, with Holliday in a firm second. Top end pitching is in a better spot apparently than the 2024 draft class was a year ago with three pitchers in their top five, Tyler Bremner, Jamie Arnold, and Seth Hernandez. Given how the season is gone, Red Sox could be in a very good position to draft a high-potential arm.

On Jamie Arnold, I will just say that I watched him a couple times late last year and that was not the velocity band I saw, so I will be curious to see if those reported numbers hold next season.

Also, LaViolette is the big name for a good reason, but the margin of error for guys who seem to be locked in corner outfielders isn't huge. If the swing and miss doesn't take a step forward this upcoming season the Red Sox might end up with him without moving up in the lottery at all. |

Sdao just opted for surgery after the rehab method for his arm injury wasn’t working, so he’s out for the year |

I don’t know how you’d pass on Holliday and the opportunity for a decade-long rivalry with his brother’s O’s.

Tough break for him in that this would've been the season for him to show off his stuff as a full time starter. Wonder if that ends up taking him out of the 2025 draft entirely? |

I’d imagine so, he’ll likely want a chance to start consistently and show the improvements in the stuff. But it only takes one team to love him. |

Could pick him in the 10th round. If the draft is weak, you could make him a decent offer. |

Since we're now 12th and 10 & 11 are automatics, getting past 1 club gains 3 spots.
Go Giants.
clicking on the strength of schedule tab in the tankathon is less optimistic. Sox have the 21st toughest schedule.

Sox have the 21st toughest schedule. Remember though, SOS is always relative this time of year. I'd rather be playing a team that clinched than a team fighting for a playoff spot. Doesn't really help the Red Sox but Arizona is trying to get some distance from the Braves, so they'll give the Giants everything they've got. |

I don’t know how you’d pass on Holliday and the opportunity for a decade-long rivalry with his brother’s O’s. I think if the Red Sox did somehow miraculously get the #1 pick, and assuming nothing changes and Laviolette and Holliday are still considered far and away the top two guys in the class, I think the Red Sox take Holliday. If they are both equally talented, I'd rather bet on the guy with the higher upside who has a chance to stick at short, then a guy who is slated to be a lefty corner outfielder. (Not that Laviolette can't be a very good corner outfielder with a lot of power potential, but if we're splitting hairs with top prospects, I'd go with Holliday) Realistically though, we'll pick in the teens and even if we did move up into the top 6 by luck, it's a far likelier chance that we'd move up to 5 or 6 then actually get to #1, and there's some really intriguing pitchers in the class. |

If the Red Sox and giants finish with the same record the Red Sox would pick before the giants. Giants had 79 wins last year Red Sox 78
Add: also cubs had 83 wins

Giants had 79 wins last year Red Sox 78 Add: also cubs had 83 wins Red Sox could finish with anywhere between the 9th best odds and 17th best odds. The good news is that Boston holds the tiebreaker on everyone in that area except for St. Louis. |

They can finish 9th or anywhere from 12th to 17th, so that's essentially 9th to 15th I guess? |

Technically correct, the best kind of correct. Either way 9th and 12th isn't a huge difference. I wouldn't want to be 17th but given they hold tiebreakers and I don't believe this Red Sox team will sweep Tampa, I'd wager we'll be near the higher end of the range, probably not 9th because you'd have to be swept, and this team also doesn't really get swept either. |

Sat 8 p.m.: www.tankathon.com/mlb says we are now 9th. Giants and Rays are the teams at 12th and 13th that we could switch places with. Don't know what the tiebreakers are |

They're at Fenway, where they have been swept before this season and it wouldnt be shocking if they defied the .500 magnet and got swept at Fenway again. At this point they might as well get swept and get a pick in the top 9. |

Don't know what the tiebreakers are Said it in the other thread but: Scenario 1: Red Sox lose. In any scenario where the Red Sox lose, they get the 9th best odds. Scenario 2: Red Sox win and the Giants win, Red Sox get the 12th best odds, Rays get the 9th best odds, Giants get the 13th best odds. Scenario 3: Red Sox win and the Giants lose, Red Sox get the 13th best odds, Rays get the 12th best odds, Giants get the 9th best odds. |
