What happened to The 1st rounder,Jason Dallareo? I remember there was supposed to be the big SS battle between he and Caruso to see was going to be the future there. Was he even a Septemeber call-up?

He started pitching because he sucked ass at short.

More accurately, he sucked in the batter's box.

Sort of related, I expect the Sox to draft a shortstop fairly high this year.

 

Wouldn't surprise me at all. Go for the SS, Uribe could always move over to 2B if the pick worked out. I could see the sox going for a good glove, good OBP guy with speed who can make solid contact. The sox draft a SS #1 and he might be ready by the time Uribe's contract is up in case Juan tests Free agency

The Sox just need to draft the best player available, especially considering they won't have a 2nd round pick this year. Weaver or Drew could still be very well on the board @#15.

If the sox don't pick a SS with their #1 then definitely in their top 3. I agree going with the best available for the #1 spot. You can't overlook talent just to fill a need. But with their pitching set from last yr, and the OF in good shape, the sox focus should be on the IF [which means 1B, SS or 2B, as Josh Fields fills 3B]. Yet getting a top SS could fill basically 2 spots for the Sox. If the pick pans out, it would give the sox options at 2b and SS, as Uribe can move over to 2b.
