Detmers girlfriend was smoking hot. Hate the pick!!!

I thought the same about veen. these lucky pedigree mofos. 

 

Don’t like the pick he had shoulder issues this spring.

Well, that was interesting.

HATE this pick. Please don't compare to Sale. He wasn't a reach. He was supposed to go at 4 and fell. This is a reach.

Crochet majored in nuclear engineering, huh

Kiley seemed to know for sure it was Crochet. Makes me wonder if he was also told Kelley in 2nd round was happening.

I’ve read it wasn’t much more than general soreness and them wanting to preserve him.

”overblown” was one word I heard regarding the injury concern.

I do trust our scouting on pitching.

This seems like a reach. 39 on Keith Law’s big board. Hope it works out but I’m not optimistic 

Jesus Christ he does look like Sale; Leiter is good at these things. Take notes Harold.

That said, command isn't what Sales was. That's the huge difference. Don't like it; it's arrogant. Sale excelled command wise.

Started to get antsy on Howard. A little bummed but this is definitely a guy. Hard to find arms like this.

Man. Those clips. Crochet is a DUDE.

That’s because Law never ranks pitchers very high if they’re not 100% guaranteed to be a starter.

I’ve read people put the percentage of him being a reliever at 85% but if he’s Andrew Miller II, I don’t flipping care.

Did Harold like the pick?? If so, we're doomed!

Hah. Even Callis thinks he could be pitching out of the pen this year. Do it!

He was ranked #1 on his board until the Sox drafted him

That arm is elite. At #11 this guy is a risk worth taking

This has been my point the whole time. Go big or go home. 

Good better best

If they drafted a reliever at 11 that's fucking awful.

I want to see Crochet in the Sox pitching lab. And with a year in the gym

Yeah, maybe they can teach him to command the ball like they did Alec Hansen.
