    See my league is primarily White Sox fans. So getting Giolito or Robert or Moncada is difficult. It's also an auction style draft, which means if good Sox players are left at the end, they can be had very cheaply and kept for at least 3 years. In a snake draft, I probably avoid ERod, but I did get him for $1 at the end of my draft this year, not bad for a team's potential ace. I got Verdugo for $1 last year and held on to him...

    I think we should all get accustomed to Hernandez as the leadoff hitter. It's not going to go away by Thursday...

    A first baseman in many cases has to be an absolute monster to get drafted high. Since that position in often filled at the MLB level by catchers or third basemen who can hit but do not field adequately...

    I try to, but I have three Sox players in my team this year. Two of them are returning and helped me to second place last year...

    And at some point, maybe an inclusion that not all post-season games are equal. A bad game in game 2 of the ALDS is nowhere near as potentially catastrophic as a bad game in game 7 of the World Series...

    Right. Runs allowed is a weak measure, but an 18 inning sample tells all. 18 innings? You cite his 1 HR/9 as one of his detriments. But over 18 innings that means he allowed 2 home runs...

    Who? Taillon?

    Ottavino gave up 0 ER in 17 of his 22 outings, and gave up 1 ER in three others. But based on those other two outings, apparently he sucked...

    There's a pretty good chance that either Kluber or Taillon gives the Yankees nothing this year, as well...

    Probably 1b, but drafting based on position is not something any team should do, with the possible exception of catcher. By the time they reach the majors, many, many players will be in a different position from the one they played when drafted. But very few seem to move into catcher. It does happen, With former VCU shortstop Brandon Inge being one example, but it’s rare. Not sure when Realmuto went from SS to catcher; he was told to switch by a Marlins’ scout but it might have been prior to being drafted...

    1. So you think going from .636 to .550 is an improvement? 2. A .550 team will win 89 games. With 2 wild cards, a team with a .550 winning percentage or below has made the postseason nearly every season...

    Fool!! Only Red Sox players have question marks upon returning from injury!! Yankee players are all like Steve Austin! They get rebuilt and come back better, stronger, faster...

    See? Another person seized an opening to tell a story I was unaware of. Gotta love it...
  16. notin
    Nah. He was just looking for an opening for a Pumpsie Green story. I do stuff like that all the time...

    He did strike out 14 times in 40 plate appearances. He showed the league what he needs to work on...

    My understanding is Del Castillo is a hitter not likely to stick at catcher, but Davis is a catcher who can hit...

    Also Ryan Braun’s...

    One guy getting underrated in all this (assuming the scouting is accurate) is Louisville catcher Henry Davis...

    Betts was irreplaceable. Benintendi and Bradley were both good but very replaceable. Verdugo can easily wind up being better than Benintendi or Bradley (or both!). But it seems like no one wants to see any outfielders except Renfroe and Cordero...

    Would Price have made the Sox any better last year? Hint: No. He opted out of playing. Right now the biggest problem with the Sox is Sale’s injury. With a healthy Sale, there is a greater treason to build a competitive team around him. Without Sale, it’s very difficult. And replacing Sale is next to impossible...

    So in notin's mini-mock draft, the picks are 1. Pitt takes Kumar Rocker 2. Texas takes Jack Leiter 3. Detroit takes Jud Fabian. Since these see to be the three names everyone would like the Sox to take, I am going to assume MLB GMs feel the same about them and they will all be off the board.. So who should Boston take?
  24. notin
    The Killer B's were basically Betts and two good complimentary pieces. The Sox still had 2/3 of that outfield last year...
  25. notin
    MLB.com does have the Sox taking Fabian, but passing on Leiter. (This is from December with no updates.) Propectlive.com has the Sox taking high school SS Marcelo Mayer in the March update. Fueledbysports.com has the Sox taking UCLA shortstop Matt McLain. He is the first position player taken in their draft. MyMLBdraft.com has the Sox taking McLain, Their draft strongly parallels fueledbysports (and might be the same; I am not verifying.) MVPsportstalk.com has the Sox taking Jack Leiter.
