It's funny the trend is to say sick of safe picks when the Sox haven't drafted a safe pick in the first round since '06. Poreda may have had a limited upside, but he was anything but safe (I guess that speaks to how bad of a pick it was).
I liked him, Gordon, and Mitchell.
The problem is, everyone talks about the normal type of Sox draft pick, and it describes Kyle McCulloch more than any of those 3.
