This years draft looks to be down from the previous couple years. It looks like the strength will be in HS bats. There's a nice group of upside with good depth. HS pitching has some decent depth but as of now looks a little light at the top. College bats are better than the last few drafts but still not very good and college pitching is way down which is unfortunate because that has been the strength of the last few drafts. Here's a list of some players that could hear their names called early on June 3rd. Bobby Witt Jr SS Coreyville HS Adley Rutschman C Oregon St Riley Greene OF Hagerty HS (My Guy!) Bryson Stott SS UNLV CJ Abrams SS Blessed Trinity HS Josh Jung 3B Texas Tech Carter Stewart RHP Eastern FL JC Andrew Vaughn 1B Cal Logan Davidson SS Clemson Graeme Stinson LHP Duke The draft order isn't set but here are the top 10 protected picks: 1.

I just think his age (19 at draft time) will be a factor. I also think Rutschman is going to have a monster spring.

No way in the world, the Sox are that lucky to land him. The O's would have to fall in love with the Catcher. And a Pitcher would have to go #2.

Post subject:	Re: 2019 MLB Draft
Well it's real easy to fall in love with the catcher. He's really good. It doesn't matter anyway. They're just going to pick a high floor low ceiling college bat anyway.

Who's the pitcher most likely to be a middle reliever or the hitter who projects as a fourth outfielder? That's who the Sox will take.

If he’s healthy, absolutely. He has one the best curveballs in baseball. Just not amateur baseball all of baseball. It’s a hammer.

the Red Sox first round pick (#33) was dropped 10 spots for exceeding the luxury tax (new penalty added this year). They now have pick #43 which is currently one spot ahead of the White Sox 2nd round pick.

Unless Vaughn is head and shoulders above Jung, I do not see the value in drafting a 1B over a 3B.

Author:	Keyser Soze [ Fri Dec 07, 2018 9:22 am ]
Post subject:	Re: 2019 MLB Draft
We’re not sure Jung is a 3B yet. He could be Jake Burger 2.0 though I think he a little more athletic than that. We have to see what his body looks like in the spring. If he tightened it up I’m in. Dude can hit.

RHP Carter Stewart has enrolled at East Florida State JC. He will not become a free agent but will be draft eligible in June. Atlanta will still have the 9th pick in this years draft.

If one of the top 2 catchers is not on the board, I am taking Stewart.

Langeliers? You’re passing on a lot of dudes for an undersized catcher who may never hit. I want them to take the guy with the highest ceiling. Just draft a fuckin dude.

I've been doing some research on R/R first baseman and all I have to say is....yeash. In the last 10 yrs there has been one R/R first baseman drafted in the 1st round: CJ Cron ('11 1-17) The current starting R/R first baseman drafted as first baseman: Paul Goldschmidt (8th round) Rhys Hoskins (5th round) Peter Alonso (2nd round) Current R/R first baseman drafted at other position: Albert Pujols (OF) Ryan Zimmerman (3B) Ian Desmond (SS) Ryon Healy (3B) International free agent R/R first baseman: Jose Abreu (1B) Miguel Cabrera (SS) Jesus Aguiar (OF) Yuli Gurriel (OF) This certainly doesn't bode well for R/R first baseman Andrew Vaughn. He can hit but I don't think anyone can hit enough to provide enough value in the first round let alone a top half or top 5 pick. * I guess I should mention Evan White (who the Sox should have drafted) who is a R/L first baseman which is obviously very strange. White was a 1st round pick in '17 (1-17). He could be an average centerfielder if he wasn't considered to literally have a very real chance to be the best defensive first baseman ever. He's a right handed hitter but he will also be able to provide tremendous value on defense.

On the futureSox podcast, JJ Cooper was talking about drafting a 1B at #3 or that high. Said there really isn't any precedence for good ones there.

Junior College started this weekend and San Jacinto (TX) RHP Jackson Rutledge (6'8" 260) came out of the gate hot. Rutledge an Arkansas kickback sat 95-98 t99 with a hard slider at 86-88. Rutledge has a short quick AA for such a big guy (which will help him repeat) and gets good down angle on his FB. If he consistently throws good strikes he can jump into the 1st round. He struck out 9 in 5 IP.

He had a wrist injury though I agree the Braves were very short sighted. I hope he proves he’s healthy this spring and goes out and throws the shit out of it.

Carter Stewart made his season debut yesterday and I am not a fan of the adjustments he made. He has a much higher front side (which I like) but now he's rotational and crossfire with a head whack and his arm is really late. It's only Jan 30 so he has time to iron these things out but if this is what he is I'm out. He was 90-95 t97. He went 4 innings with 7 K's.
