After getting Fulmer and not having another pick until the fourth round, I think the Sox have to make a big run at this guy. We save a good chunk of money on the Draft this year from the lack of high picks and are completely bereft of minor league offensive talent. I am not sure there is one guy in the minors that you can comfortably say will be a major leaguer.
Martinez would not solve that massive issue, but he would be the only high-end offensive talent in the system that desperately needs one.
This is a good point, but depends if leadership views this as savings when the reality is they spent much more by signing expensive major league talent.
I really hope we land them, you all are right that there is really way too much smoke if we just expected to offer the allotted amount.
