It is but I'm starting to think that's the direction they're gonna go with their 1st pick. Campbell, Cannon, Tidwell should be in the mix along with some of the injured guys like Preilipp, Sims or Rocker.....

April 7, 20223 yr Since we are talking about the Sox possibly being into college pitching. https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/10-breakout-pitchers-of-the-2022-college-baseball-season/ Quote It’s been said that college baseball is light on proven pitchers this season, and while that’s unequivocally true, it does mean that the door is open for new standout arms to emerge. These are 10 pitchers who stepped into the void, made big leaps from previous seasons and became big names on the scene in college baseball with breakout 2022 campaigns so far. Quote Jonathan Cannon, RHP, Georgia Expectations have long been high for Cannon at Georgia, but the canceled 2020 season and an early-season bout with mononucleosis in 2021 have contributed to the righthander not quite putting it all together. He’s developed into a workhorse for the Bulldogs this season, however, as he has a 1.71 ERA, a matching .171 opponent batting average, 46 strikeouts and just three walks in 47.1 innings. Quote Cooper Hjerpe, LHP, Oregon State Hjerpe had a 4.21 ERA in 77 innings last season, but this season, his excellence has helped Oregon State withstand some injuries to other key pieces on the pitching staff. In 41.2 innings, the lefthander has a 1.94 ERA, 68 strikeouts compared to 10 walks and a .180 opponent batting average. Last weekend against Stanford, Hjerpe struck out 17 batters, which tied the Oregon State single-game program record. Quote Jake Bennett, LHP, Oklahoma After putting up a 6.34 ERA in 55.1 innings for the Sooners last year, Bennett has a 2.09 ERA, a 46-to-8 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .205 opponent batting average in 43 innings this season. Crucially, he has also avoided the long ball. In 2021, he surrendered seven of them. This season? Just one. He gives Oklahoma a chance to win every single Friday night.

April 10, 20223 yr Author Soooo Jackson Holliday (Matt's son) has made a Luxian like jump and may now be the best player in the country. ?
April 10, 20223 yr Don’t know anything about this draft class but I want the Sox to do the Montgomery/Kath approach but with outfielders this time.

They took two HS infielders last year because they finally took the two highest rated players on their board. If they take two HS outfielders this year it should because they are the two highest rated players on their board and not because they're trying to check boxes.

If they wanted to get the two highest rated players possible, they should have offered Rodon the QO.

April 13, 20223 yr I see the first mock draft is up at future sox/Sox machine. James has us taking left handed high school prep star Justin Crawford, Carl's son. I like it!
