The problem is if you look at all those pitchers that got hurt...none of them were "can't miss" guys.
Blake Larson probably the highest profile, but the Sox almost never have picks succeed from that area of the draft.
Berroa Batista Adams Carela Ky Bush...maybe Thorpe was that Top 100 guy at one point, but there was a massive board debate whether he had enough of a FB to be viable before the injuries.
