QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 07:30 PM) But now that we have hindsight, the high schooler OF who was available turned out to be a better choice. He also had large signing bonus demands. I still would love to know just how close the Sox were to taking him.

Christopher Crawford's chat on baseballprospectus had this q&a: Festivus313 (Phoenix): Where would Eddy Julio Martinez, Yadier Alcarez, Norge Ruiz and Lucius Fix rank for you in this draft if eligible? Christopher Crawford: Martinez would be at 1, Fox would be in the top 10, I don't have enough on the other two to give a concrete answer. Sorry.

McDaniel's final mock has Sox taking Fulmer over Jay

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 02:49 AM) I like Tate too, and Beneintendi*** Benintendi's numbers are just incredible coming out of that conference.

McDaniel tweeted about 3 guys being talked to for underslot deals that could go in top 10. Hayes, Clark and Newman.

Any of the main 3 pitchers. Please no Harris. Stephenson would be intriguing.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 10:44 PM) Game gets moved from 8 to 5 because of possibility of rain at 8. Hasn't been raining for past 45 minutes, but still haven't started. Illinois clearly trying to avoid playing this game at all tonight. Methinks they don't want to start Jay and risk losing him after just 2 innings to rain They said it was decision of NCAA not to start

Cubs missed Scherzer today due to a rain out earlier in the week, and they also miss Price and Kluber in the next 10 days. Seems like the Sox haven't had such luck missing aces this year.

Very bad loss....so many of the reasons this team has underachieved showed up today.

At least there were good crowds

QUOTE (venom4789 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:32 PM) He is the one pitcher of the sox i havent seen much of. Is he missing spots then or matbe breaking balls not breaking, could he be tipping his pitches possibly are they sitting on a certian pitch. Or does he just suck this year. Wonder how much money he has pitched himself out of Way too many pitches right down the plate

QUOTE (flavum @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:31 PM) Christ sake. Don't ever sign a roid guy ever again, assholes. The scouts who are recommending guys who were already in the majors are not doing very well of late for the Sox. Just way too many guys who come over and immediately look like they need to retire.

Strong 0-4 from Melky. I missed him batting 2nd

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 09:29 PM) Ewwwww to the latter Ewwww to every scenario

QUOTE (SCCWS @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:27 PM) Beckham or Leury???? Beckham with Conor/Davidson platoon

This has been one of the hardest Sox teams to root for in a long time

Now comes Ventura, because Samardzija looked so great vs Cespedes this year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:21 PM) So ventura has just decided to punt this game. What in the world This is insane

Why the heck is he still in

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:17 PM) Is he Kenny's boy or Jerry's or both? No idea, but these hitters come up and have no prayer.

Hoping for a new 2nd baseman tomorrow night. Another crowning achievement for Buddy Bell.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:08 PM) Its a circus in right field Avi is an awkward player because hes not good enough to play the field but hes not your typical DH type hitter either. Try him in LF!

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:02 PM) Gillaspie. What a joke. Davidson not working out has really hurt. Hopefully he keeps hitting lefties and can at least be a platoon player.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 7, 2015 -> 08:01 PM) His ceiling at this point. He desperately needs to go back to the NL. The AL is making his stuff look average, at best.

Seems like entire team just lost their focus the last 3 innings. Awful at bats, awful pitching, awful defense and great base running.
