I like this pick.
Realized Law doesn't know all, but he was kind enough to answer my question in his chat.

Thoughts on O's taking Delmonico in the 6th round? Signable?
Klaw
No. Flier, most likely doesn't come to fruition.
Overslot pick. Good to see.
From Stotle in the questions thread:
I have heard seven-figures on Delmonico. I love that they announced him as a 3b, as he pretty clearly does not have the arm to catch. The bat was impressive over the summer, and great during BP, but was up and down against meh competition this spring. I would say my feelings about the pick are about how I felt with Connor Narron. I completely understand the pick and it is a justifiable upside pick that many will agree with. I personally would have preferred Norris/Howard to Delmonico.
But it is a very good upside power bat. Just some probability questions for the price.
HS kid who already has good power? I like it, especially with our power issues.
Now, can we develop that power and, of course, get him signed?
Looks like this is one of the picks we will have to open the wallet a little bit.
