Why not? The sox leaned on bats the last two drafts and rightfully so but still they could use another tor prospect as some of their top guys are talented but risky.

 

I would prefer a highly talented up the middle guy but if you only have the choice between another unathletic masher and a high profile pitcher I might even prefer the pitcher.

 

Don't get me wrong, it was good to get some save, polished bats into the system because the sox were lacking that but now they probably need other types.

Why not both? The need for pitching is endless and this system is still light on bats

 

CWS's 2017 Draft class seemed hitter and reliever friendly which I don't mind at all, I have faith in a lot of the draftees

Good

Went heavily for bats in 2017 draft.

Can hide mediocre hitting in spots. Can't hide mediocre or bad pitching in any spot.

As said above, need for pitching is endless.

 

Pitching can be turned into (if needed) hitting. Never turn down good arms.
