I'm so confused - how are this thread supposed to reach 16+ pages if everyone is signed and there's no speculation on dollar amounts?? Guesstimations on who will slot into the SP top 60, and where, after the deadline. That should do it.

Interested to see where he ends the year ranked in the system. The kid is finally looking healthy.

I view this from the minors point of view. We've essentially swapped first rounders. How many times have we heard our prospect pitching is light and how many times have we heard we have excess middle infielders ? Except Yorke’s bonus was 2.7 and Priester’s was 3.4 (and was a year earlier). Overall point stands.

Probably shouldn’t be surprised Tolle got $2M but it’s still surprising to me.
Sidenote: Loved the podcast with JC, and his insights on the draft class. Every episode is a must listen.

Does this move appease those who still want them to draft pitchers no matter what?

Another 2 HR day for Romero.

IMO Campbell really earned his A+ batting stats but in AA he's been super lucky. Lots of bloopers and infield hits. Don't get me wrong, he'd still have a good line even with average luck Sure, but wouldn’t you want to test this luck @ Worcester at this point? Yorke, Grissom, Valdez and Meidroth are all vying for 2B reps in AAA. Is adding Campbell to that equation really the move at this point? I say very much no. Let’s see how the AAA roster looks after the deadline.

Wonder if this injury makes it more or less likely of an offseason extension.

How high does Arias jump in August? Could could conceivably get all the way up to 7 This is pure speculation, but if we're looking at tiers, I'd put Mayer, Anthony, Teel as a tier, followed by Campbell, Bleis, Montgomery, after that it's more murky... Perales, Cespedes, Arias, Sandlin in some order? Zanetello and Fitts probably as clear #11 and #12, followed by the riff-raff so to speak, with like Meidroth, Castro, Lugo, Yorke, Tolle, Paulino, Rodriguez, Jhostynxon, in some order to round out the top 20? idk, after the top it's a very confusing system.
tl;dr - i think there's a good chance that Arias is atleast in the top 10 and agree that he could be as high as 7.
I’d have Anthony and Mayer in a tier ahead of Teel, and Teel in a tier by himself. Just think those 2 have separated themselves from the pack — nothing negative against Kyle.

Good to see Romero go 4-for-4 with a double and two homers today (after homering last night too).

Maybe it's just because Cespedes hasn't played for a bit and his season is done, but given Arias' defensive ability and the fact he's been raking, I think he has a higher ceiling and might just be the better prospect. I like it. I’m not nearly there but I like it.

Major bummer for Mata. Hope he gets healthy, for his own sanity and long term health.

Isn’t today Mata Day? Not seeing any transactions… Tomorrow. Edit: whoops, sorry for the misinformation. Should’ve waited for Chris to clarify.

Would he be an AFL candidate?

Wonder if they still would’ve selected Montogomery if Rainer was still on the board too.

The recent Podcast on the draft discussed quite a few players the Red Sox might target at 12 and unless I missed it Montgomery was not mentioned. Is that because he was seen as a complete lock to go top ten? Yes, seemed consensus top ~8.

Early guess on where he slots in the system: 20

Good for the kid and good for the Red Sox. Welcome to Boston. Let’s hope the hit tool clicks! Great pick.

I know that MLB teams usually don't think this way, but... I keep seeing Christian Moore mocked to the Red Sox at #12, and on one hand, I get it. Best player available. On the other hand, are they really going to use the 12th pick in the draft to add another right-handed 2B/LF between the ages of 21 and 23 to the mix to go along with Grissom, Yorke, and Campbell? Especially when Jarren Duran's best long-term positional fit is probably LF, and Duran basically plays every day? If the Sox think Moore is head and shoulders above anyone else on the board, then go ahead and take him. If they think it's close between Moore and someone like Cam Smith or Trey Yesavage? I think I'd pass on Moore. It’s an interesting thought exercise. I’m in the camp of being ok passing on Moore as well. Nice player though.

Pearson is just one of us, hoping for the same outcome.
