Looks good in the black and white.

 

i am hoping one of my friends get drafted in the later rounds. John Rosinski, OF from New Trier. He's got bloodlines, his dad was the 4th pick by the Cubs in '75.

Tillman off the board.

Is Brett Anderson falling for signability reasons? He's the 19th ranked overall player by Baseball America, a LH-pitcher.

They are no going to take a risky player. That's no their MO.

 

They are going to build assets. KW has shown he'll draft for a need if he thinks he has one, AKA Josh Fields. Otherwise, its all about building assets.

 

You can't hardly argue with KW's success here he's been able to turn his draft assets into players for our major league roster... Jim Thome being a prime example.

Brett Anderson finally gone to the D'Backs.

 

Steven Wright goes to the Indians -- I remember somebody liking him (Sickels or Goldstein, IIRC) a lot.

And hes off the board....#55 to AZ sure did slip though

Indians select 51 year old comedian Steven Wright with the 57th pick.

So, Jason, Cerb, any other draft experts -- who should we be looking at with the second pick? Is Hodges a realistic possibility?

Brewers select Brent Brewer for sake of making fans laugh.

Usually I'm all about college guys in the first 3 rounds, but the way this draft is working I wouldn't mind seeing the Sox go HS with this 2nd rounder. Some great value out there.

Dellin Betances (i overrate a ton probably,) big kid who throws hard.

Yes, even though he's a 3rd baseman he' sa very good hitter, a good athlete and can switch hit. Obviously we do have a few other guys at 3rd though (Fields and Schnur).

 

I wouldn't be shocked if we take a catcher relatively early though in this draft and I think we'll load the first few rounds on PITCHING. Look for a potential closer here (may even be a reach pick).

Yup, and we have a history of redrafting players who we've selected before (Getz, Brooks). Expect more pitching to be drafted.

He's also commited to FSU as a 3 star WR. I wonder if he'll sign or play football.

Twins grab Benson from Joliet Catholic.

Minny takes a kid from Joliet Catholic -- we better not be looking at Curtis Granderson Part2 here...

He is considered a tough sign out of his scholorship with Purdue. My guess is he goes to college.

Some guys I'd like the Sox to take:

 

Wes Hodges, 3B, Ga. Tech

Jordan Walden, RHP, HS

Chad Tracy, C, Pepperdine

Has anyone found out the name of the NC high school pitcher with the last name of White? I've been told to expect the Sox to take him early in the draft.

Indians take Hodges.

Look for Betances or Melacon.

Sox select Matthew Long, P, Miami Univ (f*** you, MU, get a new goddamn name

Edited June 6, 200619 yr by Cerbaho-WG

Matthew Long -- 63rd ranked overall player by Baseball America.

Matthew Long - RHP Miami

 

I told you guys...CLOSER.
