"You can either take $8mil or head back to college for a year. Your choice, son." At least one of these other prospects will put on a show this season and provide the Sox with some leverage. Speaking of that, everyone is talking about Emerson, but the physical projection of Lombard is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cholowsky catch was more “over the shoulder” perhaps. Both awesome of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure how I feel about Roch’s exaggerated inside out swing at times. I know that’s what they teach at a lot of training facilities now.

tray Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Two schools of thought on making a selection - take the best available talent period...or also take the immediate and future needs of the team at a certain position in consideration. So...the WSox have quite a few excellent players and prospects that play shortstop. Given that, the Chowlowski / Lebron scouting becomes a bit more complicated and interesting.

No, not having an international pipeline, then taking first basemen, 2nd basemen, catchers with known flaws and relief pitchers with the first round pick for years is what got us Jacob Gonzalez. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
