I picked Trea Turner in a home run pool coming off the excitement of the WBC (it hapens to the best of us) and he hasn't scratched yet. I'm hoping the Sox find his home run swing. I'm looking for 3 from you the next couple days, Trea!
If they go college pitcher this is a guy they could target. He has very good fastball command. I'm gonna do my best to stay quiet about the other stuff.
Kinda. Some in the organization have been screaming it for a while but the powers that be are...lets be nice and say they're slow to listen. Now I'm not saying they're gonna go exclusively with command guys but I think they're gonna put a higher priority on it than we've seen from Sox drafts the last number of years.
If the Sox want to start focusing on strike throwers (I think they do) Jachec would be a good one to draft. He's pitched 149.2 innings over the last 2 seasons and walked 18 batters. The stuff is avg at best but it plays up because of his excellent command.
I'm starting to think they're gonna go college player but they should give this guy some serious consideration. He has a short compact powerful stroke and he should be able to stay on the dirt.
