mvp 78

Potts would get claimed. He's still a decent prospect.

He hasn't played 2b in a long while. Don't think we see that unless an emergency.

Nobody wants Chavis.

@IanCundall Some interesting data on a pair of Red Sox draftees in this article. 17th rd. pick Luis Guerrero topped out at 96.3 & had a 64% whiff rate on his splitter in the Draft League & 19th rd. pick Tyler Uberstine's fastball grades out really well w/traits that can play up in the zone. https://www.prepbaseballreport.com/news/PBR/Breaking-down-the-Draft-Leagues-39-selection-in-the-21-Draft-1309672485

Wilson is back in the lineup tonight.

Maybe.

Interesting that you have both this year's 3rd rounder and 4th rounder higher than last year's 3rd rounder (a pick lots of people were flabbergasted that he fell that far).

In AAA?

Please Hammer, don't hurt 'em.

9 of those games were in relief.

I think he may have been pulled due to injury. No reason to pull him otherwise unless a deal is finalized.

Without JD's bat, they'd still have a potent lineup. Would be nice to use that $20M towards SPs.

Something will have gone horribly wrong if he's in WOO next April. I think Arroyo is fine for now. I'm hoping Downs breaks the door down.

He should opt out. The Sox would be able to fit some younger guys in the lineup a little easier.

I bet to use his athleticism more. He just hasn't picked up OF yet. Move him back.

Fabian has a high ceiling, but a Dalbec floor. I didn't listen to their draft night podcast, but I assume they'd put Mayer 2nd. I could see him going anywhere between 1 - 3.

Move Duran back to 2b.

Yeah, at some point it's through the looking glass where I just don't want to go.

WHIP regular season: 1.00, xFIP 2.98 WHIP postseason: 1.07, xFIP 3.39 SSS or maybe the players behind him aren't helping out or MAYBE he is facing guys on the opposing team who are clutch.

Yes, it's only about control. There is hesitancy about his injury though.

Inshallah.

Also, signing period ends on August 1.

Here's what Mike Andrews posted on over at SoxProspects: Top Ten Rounds (entire amount counts towards bonus cap) Round, Overall Pick, Player, Projected Bonus 1 Marcelo Mayer $7,000,000 2 Jud Fabian $2,000,000 3 Tyler McDonough $831,100 (slot) 4 Elmer Rodriguez $300,000 5 Nathan Hickey $410,100 (slot) 6 Daniel McElveny $250,000 7 Wyatt Olds $150,000 8 Hunter Dobbins $150,000 9 Tyler Miller $150,000 10 Matt Litwicki $150,000 After 10th round, above $125K (first $125,000 does not count towards bonus cap) 11 Niko Kavadas $400,000 ($275k towards cap) 13 Zach Ehrhard $150,000 ($25k over cap) After 10th round, possible $125,000 or less signs (count $0 towards cap) 12 Christopher Troye 14 Jacob Webb 18 Phillip Sikes Total spent towards cap using these projections: $11,691,200 Red Sox Cap: $11,359,600 Red Sox Cap +5%: (no draft pick penalty): $11,927,580 Super wicked early projected not to sign Vela, Guerrero, Uberstine, and Hood could all sign if there is roster space. Green appears unlikely. 15 Payton Green 16 BJ Vela 17 Luis Guerrero 19 Tyler Uberstine 20 Josh Hood There is no chance that Green signs. I'm guessing that they sign 17 guys and Niko takes less money than Mike projects here.

Sounds fair to me. I'm putting Niko at C.

Usually, the guys they don't sign are HS seniors.
