QUOTE(Reddy @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:05 PM) click the draft tracker - the flash thing. then go to the sox and look at Ely's info - there should be a thing that says 400k. click it. Thanks man.

Leroy Hunt RHP Sac CC

QUOTE(Reddy @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:57 PM) go to mlb.com s thang and click the video link. you can watch his motion and then end of his delivery is bizarre. you get a good idea from the profile view of it Can't find it.

Cards got Russell

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:56 PM) I think they'll probably concentrate on positional players now. If not Middlebrooks, I'll throw out Garrett Nash or Warren McFadden He Gone.

How many more picks left until we pick?

Indians take an Illinois product.

Gallagher gone. I knew someone here liked him alot.

QUOTE(SoxAce @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) I'll say this. Our scouting department has been money in the later rounds the past few seasons. Just not the first round. ^^^^^^^^^^

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:34 PM) Round 3, Pick 119 RHP John Ely, Miami (OH) Round 3, Pick 119 RHP John Ely, Miami (OH) Ely, the third straight pitcher picked by the Sox, is more like former Sox first rounders Lance Broadway and Kyle McCulloch. Known as a "solid pitcher" who is a fierce competitor, Ely throws a fastball around 92 mph, as well as a changeup and a curve. The fastball and the changeup are his best pitches, while his curve is still developing. Ely also owns a somewhat violent throwin motion that makes him harder to hit. He already throws harder than both of them. 89-94 supposedly.

Angel Morales could become a good one for Minnesota. IMO, Minnesota's draft has been pretty bad.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 06:30 PM) He's from Homewood-Flossmoor. He's a HUGE Sox fan. That's good news. He'll probably overacheive and become a stud.

I'm actually surprised we took a pitcher. Not that I'm complaining.

John Ely-Miami RH

Angels got Matt Harvey

Damn I stepped out for a bit and I'm glad we got Griffith. Hopefully he doesn't go to college.

Rike sounds like a Jeremy Reed clone.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:28 PM) You can watch live on MLB.com btw. I love you.

Damn I like Easley too. The D-Backs continue to sexy up that farm syatem.

Is Griffith still available?

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:13 PM) Command issues? He walked 15 guys in 100 innings. Just for the record I didn't say that. Damn Slav, your post acts like I said that.

QUOTE(Greg The Bull Luzinski @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:10 PM) Just curious, but are you actually Homer Simpson? This is what I said earlier. QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:10 PM) Still 25 picks away, but Nevin Griffith is still on the board. I doubt he'll be there when we pick and even if he is.... I don't like our chances of taking him.

QUOTE(danman31 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:08 PM) That makes sense.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:02 PM) or about three different college scouts who work for BA. I know what they say on the draft blog....but that's not what they think. For the record, they don't think it was a terrible pick. The biggest laughs of the first round were the Pirates and Twins picks. I call the Twins pick especially out on this thread. Revere was a HUGE reach but he does fit their "Pirahna" mold perfectly. Other than that, it was a terrible pick. Then again, I can't question the Twins scouting D.P.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 05:01 PM) I hope he turns into Randy Johnson in 5 years so we can all hear about how everyone called it when the Sox made the pick. Well I like the pick but I'm in the minority here.
