4 Ever The Greatest
A lot of the final Mock Drafts I've seen have the Red Sox taking 2B Christian Moore ( Tennessee ) at #12. Here's a few mock drafts to check out.
from espn.com:
Moore's leading spots to land are here, eighth to the Angels, and 16th to the Marlins. Kurtz and Griffin could also be the pick if they happen to be on the board. Trey Yesavage is also in the mix for most of the teams picking at Nos. 11-15.

Slot value: $5,484,600
I think the Red Sox are hoping one of the top two high school position players -- Griffin or Rainer -- slips through the cracks and falls to them at No. 12. That is not the case in our mock draft though, leaving Boston to pick from second tier college bats and a few pitchers. The Red Sox have not used a first round pick on a pitcher since taking Tanner Houck at No. 24 in 2017. They've made strides with their pitcher development under new CBO Craig Breslow, and when you're a good pitcher development team, you don't need to use top 15 picks on arms. Moore had a monster postseason and has gotten a ton of buzz in the 11-15 pick range recently.

12. Boston Red Sox: 2B Christian Moore, Tennessee
It will be interesting to see if the Red Sox turn their focus more toward pitching now that longtime MLB reliever Craig Breslow is calling the shots in the front office, but as it stands they have not taken a pitcher in the first round since Tanner Houck in 2017.
If Trey Yesavage is still on the board it will put that trend to the test, but in this scenario it's a safe bet they will go with one of the second-tier college bats.
Moore boosted his stock with a strong run at the College World Series for the eventual national champions. He wrapped up a terrific junior season hitting .375/.451/.797 with 111 hits and 34 home runs in 72 games, and his offensive game should translate well to the next level.

12. Red Sox: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee
If an unexpected surprise doesn't slip to 12, the Red Sox figure to grab someone from a pool of a dozen or so guys in the second tier of college bats. Leading contenders include Moore, Smith, Benge and Waldschmidt. This is probably the ceiling for Wake Forest third baseman/outfielder Seaver King, Louisiana State third baseman Tommy White and North Carolina outfielder Vance Honeycutt. If Boston wants pitching, East Carolina right-hander Trey Yesavage would be the obvious choice.

from thescore.com:
12. Bryce Rainer SS Harvard-Westlake (Calif.)
Pick value: $5,484,600
Total bonus pool: $10,521,600 (15th)
Rainer was once being looked at as a potential two-way player but rocketed up draft boards once he focused mostly on becoming a position player. The long-bodied Californian has a high ceiling and comes with a solid pedigree after attending Harvard-Westlake, which used to house MLBers like Max Fried, Lucas Giolito, Jack Flaherty, and Pete Crow-Armstrong. He'd be another blue chipper for an ever-improving Red Sox farm system that already includes top-100 prospects in Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, and Kyle Teel.

12. Boston Red Sox
Pick: James Tibbs, OF, Florida State
There is no consensus as to what Boston will do here. I’ve spoken with people who think Craig Breslow’s background in pitching dev will push the org in that direction, but Trey Yesavage and one or two of the high school pitchers are the only feasible options here, and if you’re good at pitching dev you don’t have to use first round resources on one.

12. Boston Red Sox: Konnor Griffin, SS/OF, Jackson (Miss.) Prep
Griffin is a real wild card in the draft, with the tools to go 1-1 but real questions about how well he can hit pro pitching right now, especially since there’s no short-season league to send guys to after the draft (another genius move by MLB). If he’s gone, I think the Red Sox go college — Christian Moore, Waldschmidt or Yesavage.Full mock draft: 2024 MLB Mock Draft 3.0: Cleveland still weighing options. Will it be Travis Bazzana at 1?

Casas is fantastic for baseball - he’s unique and refreshing. If he can stay healthy he will be one of the biggest stars in baseball
Adding Duran, Rafaela, and Casas healthy is a big get for this organization

Um yah
They will want at least one of Mayer, Anthony, and Teel. I'm guessing they probably ask for two but will want at least one in a package. I'm doubting Breslow pulls the trigger. I think they opt for Eovaldi, Tyler Anderson, Eflin......someone in that group or type of pitcher.

Throwing strikes seems to work well for Cutter Crawford.
all Sox affiliates play at 1 as do the Sox.... Dobbins for POR/ Miller for WOR/ Bello for BOS.... THE defacto end of the 1st half for the Sox Affiliates....

Am I the only one that likes having a small market baseball team to root for and doesn’t mind us being another Tampa or Oakland? Being a dodgers fan wouldn’t be fun and they’re as pathetic as Houston with Ohtani avoiding a lifetime suspension of course he bet on games.

Probably.
This isn't a small market.
There's no reason to have a Tampa or Oakland-sized payroll.
Jansen makes it exciting again, but a great series victory to close out the first half.

At the All-Star break, the Sox are on pace to win 90 games.
Just like we all expected.
