    9/22-9/24 vs O's

    If the Sox sweep the series, they will tie the O's in the standings.

    Tonight is the debut of Pivetta. Akin is going for the O's.

    Eovaldi vs Kremer tomorrow and Perez vs Cobb on Thursday.

    They win tonight and they have a legit shot to sweep this series.

    Right now they are about the 5th overall pick. There are a bunch of teams bunched around 19-22 wins.

    Sox could drop to about the 10th pick if they play well over the next 6 games.

    It's not like the NBA draft where you need a top 3 pick to get very high odds on getting anyone good. I don't see any real difference between picking 5th and picking 10th in he MLB draft...

    I'm not super worried about it. Was just answering the question.

    That's what happens when you trade all your picks AND cheat to draft Ewing #1.

    Well, that's only if we pretend Walker Buehler, Mike Soroka and Trent Grisham were not still available...

    Baseball draft is the crapest of crapshoots. However, having a higher pick gives you a better chance to pick a guy you really like.

    The battle to claw our way out of sole possession of last place.

    Let's do it!

    I am interested to see Pivetta pitch.
