QUOTE (OmarComing25 @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 02:22 PM) Since I'm not sure how the draft rules work, can someone clarify for me? If we don't spend all our allotted money, and since we have a lower amount allotted to us because of the loss of our 2nd and 3rd rounder, does that mean we have more money for the international market? Can we throw more money at Martinez? Depends how sox view that savings. Technically we didn't really save any money on our 2nd and 3rd round picks as those were a result of signing Robertson and Cabrera to big $ contracts.

Not a fan

Assuming full slot goes to Fulmer, will be interesting to see what they do.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 08:21 AM) 1st Sox pitcher ever to K at least 10 in4 straight starts. 1st player since Randy Johnson in 2001 to K at least 12 in 3 straight starts. 4straight starts Sale has had at least 20 swings and misses. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last pitcher to accomplish that was Randy Johnson, from July 31-Aug. 15, 2002, for the D-backs. 1st pitcher since Johan Santana in 2004 to string together at least four straight starts of 10-plus strikeouts and no more than two walks. Chris Sale joined baseball legend Sandy Koufax as the only pitcher in the modern era with three straight sets of 12 strikeouts and one run allowed or fewer. The prophecy is coming true.

Things looked way more dire after going down 2-1 to Boston. Have faith in this team, they earned it.

I thought it was tonight.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 9, 2015 -> 07:30 AM) 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.

Bulldog performance with those delays

Cubs loaded up on college bats, they are great at developing them. I hope we stick to our college arms thing as well.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 07:00 PM) Everyone is happy about this pick which only means one thing: bust. Just kidding. Glad we got someone everyone wanted in the first place Tell you what, this board has been pretty pessimistic about some pretty bad players out of the draft. i'm relieved everyone likes him. (secretly wanted stephenson) (hitters are more fun to follow)

Officially official. I wonder what HOF they compare him too with arms.

Going to wait for announcement after the Jay/Cameron thing.

Remembering now how I thought Khalil Greene would be best shortstop of all time.

Not gonna lie, I know you all want pitchers, I want pitchers, but secretly wanted benintendi

Would be adorable if red sox secretly coveted Harris here to save us from ourselves.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 06:46 PM) Passan is suggesting Benintendi for Boston. Though he's a bit less connected then others for draft stuff. Law said same thing.

I'm guessing Law's tweet about benintendi wouldn't change here just because of Jay?

wellp. That was a surprise.

Tucker is Joe DiMaggio.

Kyle Tucker, we hardly mock draft knew ye.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 06:36 PM) this is embarrassingly bad production quality by mlb network. Bring back the conference call! It's really bad. They seem to answer every question with "More bricks! More astroturf!"

I hope the astros go weird here.
