It might well be tomorrow in round 11.

Sox stealing the Orioles strategy of only drafting White ballplayers.  We'll see how it plays out.

No position listed?

We just picked a guy that MLB doesn't even know what position he plays.. LOL

nor if he was born in a location.

We just drafted a guy that doesn't have a position listed on mlb.com.  Is that good?

Apparently Young is a RHP.  No idea why MLB doesn't list that.

Yea, I have no idea what the plan is. Seems like excessive savings.

What if nothing is coming and Getz just instructed them to take scrappy underdogs to fill out his organizational vision

I feel like it's gonna end up we paid Hagen Smith like 9 million

It either means Hagen Smith was much closer to slot than we thought, or they have someone set up after the 10th round.

I think the SoxMachine article indicated they were negotiating with Smith right up until the pick. 

Which also @bmags, Zach Franklin ain't doing too bad considering the expectations.

he's been really good in the pen.

These last few guys haven't even had a reason to be interesting.  They aren't something like big, or fast, or wild or something you can maybe work with.  They are physically limited RHPs and relievers with mediocre stuff.  If we are looking at relievers, give me the big kid throwing 95 who can't find the strike zone instead of a 5'9" guy throwing 92.
