Too many outfielders? Kinda like when Sox had JBJ, Benintendi, and Mookie Betts? You never know what's going to happen 2-3 years out, if and when he makes it to the show. That's why you always take the best pick available.

Bro what? Braden Montgomery is an absolute steal. Idc if outfield is a need or not, you take the best player available

[@alaskaguyd963]

Yeah this isn't football where you can plug in rookies that produce.

[@chatsports]

Who was the best pick from Round 1?

[@justinhughes7339]

Jac caglianone to Kansas City Royals

[@tompearce4779]

dont get how you cant like the montgomery value. sox probably have too many infielders as well, so would you have only been happy with pitching?

[@kylenorstrom2723]

Cam Caminiti the best value pick in the first round 🔥

[@chatsports]

Maybe so! Thanks for watching!

[@scrat4379]

I'm a Mets fan and If Braden Montgomery had fallen to the Mets, I would have NO qualms about picking Montgomery. I like the pick we got in Carson Benge BUT Braden Montgomery would've been a steal if he fell to #19. Honestly I believe Trey Yesavage was among the best pick for value, in round @1 for Toronto! Draft junkies, in some quarters, were projecting him to be selected #5-#14 picks and he fell to #20! Great job by Toronto. I am a little surprised he got by the Cubs too!I would have liked Yesavage for the Mets but I am good with Benge!

The team that got 2 first round picks had the best first round. Way to go out on a limb...

[@paulcaudill5543]

Really, you don't even know the teams but you're trying to tell us who's good or not good "Detroit dodgers" 😂😂😂😂

[@chatsports]

We all make mistakes. One little misstep in hour 4 of a live show does not take away my credibility. Appreciate the engagement though.

[@paulcaudill5543]

@chatsports you have no credibility!!! The dodgers are 1 of the 2 most famous teams in baseball history and you didn't know they are in Los Angeles

[@paulcaudill5543]

[@claytonlockhart5649]

​@@paulcaudill5543really? A person has a slip of the tongue on one occasion, just like everyone in the world has done before, and he all of a sudden loses all credibility? I guess I didn't realize that KZbin hosters were required to be flawless and perfect. Got it now. GTFOH

To be fair, the Dodgers just got pummeled by the Tigers in hilarious fashion for the last few days

Caminiti going to the Braves is criminal. They can’t keep getting away with this!!!

PJ Morlando was a player who, in December 2023/January2024 was projected, in earlier mock drafts, to go in the top 15 picks! What happened to his stock?
