So much for the new and improved drafting from the sox. Underslot is our motto.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 05:53 PM) MLB.com had no scouting report or video for Morel on their live feed. I am sure he is cheap. He is Probably shocked he went before round 6.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 05:51 PM) Wow they passed on Danks. Kind of disappointed. Danks would of made a nice one two punch in with the first two picks.

QUOTE (BearSox @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 01:30 PM) Also, this shows that the Richar trade was useless, we sure could use Cunningham in our system right now. Well I didnt think they had the foreshadowing of picking a SS in the next draft with their number 1 pick and signing Alexei Ramirez in the offseason.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 02:07 PM) During games all of soxtalk clamors for more line drive hitters who play the game the right way and aren't big base clogging power guys. We draft one of these guys, perfect to round out our lineup and everyone wishes they picked someone else. The sox brass picked the best guy on the board, picked a need for the system and for the big team, and yet its continually second guessed? You people need a reality check. If some of you guys were dating jessica alba, I'm pretty sure you'd wish you were with someone else. I pretty much had only one guy that I didnt want at that pick and that was Castro.

QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:58 PM) I think we can all agree we're happy the Sox didn't take Castro... That was pretty much my only yuck pick. Beckham, Smoak, Wallace. As long as we got one of the three I was happy. Now lets go overslot in the 3rd round.

QUOTE (Elgin Slim @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:20 PM) I am absolutely convinced that the Sox will take Castro. It just seems like their MO. If I read correctly, Regier is in charge of the draft this year after Wilder got fired. He will most undoubtably will not hit in the minors, and we will complain about not being able to pick high again for a few years. If they select Castro, then Kenny needs to go. Overdrafting a scouts relative should be a firing offense.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 5, 2008 -> 12:15 PM) pirates will take pedro now....then what will KC do at 3? Why exactly are they letting the clock go down. They know who they want to pick. This is dumb.

The Rays have the first pick, they can't trade it. So why exactly are they on the clock. They should of announced the pick by now. They seriously let the clock wind down. What a grandstanding pile of crap.

Hopefully they can resist the family oriented overdraft. I would be upset with this pick.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:22 PM) Where's LOLaiza Hasnt thrown off a mound in 3 weeks.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:21 PM) It's Esteban time. Wait ... are we asking too much to score a run at home??? We scored runs last night, if we did it every night we would set too high of expectations.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:18 PM) At least the sheer entertainment value of this game is getting higher at this point. I would be more entertained if there was a walkoff, a home plate sandwitch, fireworks, and a shaving creme pie in the face after the game.

Maybe Walk shouldnt get all lippy in the papers. He is still on thin ice, and his offense still sucks.

Attention right hand hitters, look away. that is all.

Alexei and his cannon. Hopefully Uribe has multiple gloves, its super sup roll for him.

QUOTE (Flash Tizzle @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 11:03 PM) Dotel is the last pitcher in the bullpen? ROFLCOPTER I'm interested in seeing this game go on longer just for the comedic value. Guillen should know better in the future than to use Masset, his long man, for a short period of time. I don't understand why they needed to send Waserman down. Couldnt they have not announced the contract, and had him workout a bit.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 4, 2008 -> 10:59 PM) According to Gameday, this pitcher hasn't thrown a single pitch on the inner half to the righties. Shocking.

Anderson used to pitch in college, so you could go there if we go beyond the 14th.

Righties are hitting over 400 against Yabutu.

Sweet jesus.

Konerko used to be such a good fastball hitter.

Nothing like a backup catcher getting uppity.

Well that sucked.
