Casas is a nice prospect, but if Mayer isn’t immediately their number 1, then it’s either being overthought or there’s too much hype for the guy who should have been the first pick in the draft. I think this reasoning, for one thing, ignores the value of proximity to the majors. It absolutely could be true that Mayer was properly regarded and that Casas and/or Duran are better prospects right now. On pure upside, yeah you'd pick Mayer. There's more to it than upside though. theathletic.com/2701354/2021/07/11/red-sox-ecstatic-after-projected-top-pick-marcelo-mayer-falls-to-them/?source=rss&redirected=1(Behind paywall, w/ Chris' Tweet making it into the article) “Obviously, what we think we’re going to pay Marcelo will impact some of what we do going forward,” Toboni said. “But the goal remains the same, just to build as much value as we can and bring as much value as we can into the system.” The Red Sox believe they’ve done that with their top pick, a high-upside talent who immediately will rank among the top three-or-so prospects in their system. There’s a case for ranking him No. 1. Asked to give big-league comps to the kind of player Mayer could become, Toboni mentioned Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager and the Giants’ Brandon Crawford.

I'm looking at Matt Mikulski and Andrew Abbott as potential underslot types (that are still really good). Just beat me to the post at least on Mikulski. He has been on my mind as a nice balance of talent and no leverage. Also I'm a sucker for unconventional lefties. ...me more my mindfulness about all alliteration

Seems most in the Twitter thread don't agree with the Ump's call; I'd like to see the specific MLB rule book citation on this, before I opine, as I thought that brief turn by Yelich, did expose him to being called out?

Surprised that no one whispered in Joe Davis' earpiece, after he went on about Betts/Verdugo, during AD's 1st AB as if it was a 1-1 trade, that one of the other pieces in that deal was actually starting behind plate....
...iirc, had another shot to set that straight, when Red Sox INF DEF introduced, but, don't think he even mentioned his name...
...perhaps when he gets an AB? (am I Wrong...did I miss a reference to Wong?...and his tie to Betts deal?)

Jobe at 3 is something. Aware of the discussion and get the argument for it, just, wow. Like if you're the Rockies and get House at 8? Especially given that the Tigers definitely aren't taking a pitcher. (joking around) Interesting that Callis also in his latest mock had them taking Jobe. Wonder if there's some rumors going around there.

Learned Memorial Day weekend that a friend's beach house in Ocean City is like 30 minutes from Delmarva. Scheming has begun... Won't be for this week though. Good stuff, and, good luck with that scheming! Looking at trips to Delmarva (7/6 - 7/11, their last road series, here) and/or Fredericksburg (6/29 - 7/4 & 7/10 - 7/15). Delmarva is about 2 hrs East; Fredericksburg, bout an hour southwest, from sibling, in Springfield, VA... ...Greenville @ Aberdeen, 6 games series, Sept 14-19, also under consideration (about a 2 hr drive, north)
