QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:27 AM) Adam Dunn says hi. Well at least the 2010 Adam Dunn. Bingo. A big fan up until recently.

Good for Toronto with Norris. Hope they sign him.

Vogelbach is 5-11, 260.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:25 AM) He looks more like the 1B on my softball team I have a soft spot for unathletic kids who can hit the ball and hit it hard.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:22 AM) Kevin Goldstein just tweeted he might be a reliever at the major league level. A reliever with potential closer stuff.

Like.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2011 -> 11:20 AM) I don't mind giving draft's flash grades, but we just need to realize as good as drafts look today, those same ones will look very bad in four years. And vice versa. I would be interesting to see how Baseball America's draft grades look four years later. Probably very little correlation. Well said.

Jordan sure does get a lot of attention around here.

Bauer, Bradley, and Meo? Amazing.

Good for the Pirates on Bell. I hope they sign him. Have to like that Pitt has been dumping money into the draft lately.

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 10:17 PM) He NEVER has 1 good thing to say about the Sox EVER. Law is a smarmy ass to anyone and everyone. Almost every fanbase thinks he is "anti-their team." You see it all over his Twitter. I don't see any reason to think he's biased. He's just an ass, but that's okay.

Meh.

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) Who's the BPA? Josh Bell, Austin Hedges Andrew Susac, Alex Dickerson. Position Players. Daniel Norris, Dillon Howard, Josh Osich, Dillon maples, Jorge Lopez, Purke. Pitchers.

I wonder if the Sox are interested in Osich. I suspected Chafin would be in the mix.

Big Bradley fan, of course he goes to Boston.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:20 PM) Just saying the talent is there. I hate the excuse that they've rarely had top 10 picks. It is indeed a terrible excuse. Sox draft spending is abysmal.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:14 PM) Josh Bell, Brian Goodwin, Daniel Norris, Dillon Howard, Matt Purke still on the board. So like every year, there will be some legitimate talent there for the Sox. Wonder what the excuse will be this time around. Bell would probably cost the Sox their entire draft budget. No chance.

Supposedly Nats will grab Goodwin.

QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) I don't know who the Sox will pick, but I expect a J4L meltdown either way haha The best way to handle it is expect a signable college arm, and be elated if it's something else!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) Yeah, they're weak at the catching position. The solution is to draft a catcher out of high school...collect underpants...wait 5-6 years...and profit! Drafting High Schoolers based on filling a need? Are you kidding? They weren't drafting for need. Bell and Swihart were the 2 best players available.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:34 PM) Wow, Boston got top 20-30 talent at pick 26? I can't believe that. What a steal! Baseball America has him at number 17. I don't disagree. He might not stick at catcher, but the bat will play if he needs a transition.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Read the post above you. Boston's clearly cleaning up. I would agree so far. Barnes fell significantly into Boston's lap. Swihart would be taken already too if he wasn't asking for the moon.

Maybe Mahtook. Not a big fan of his though.

Fantastic value at 24 for the Rays.
