June 7, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(29thandPoplar @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:15 PM) If they pick him it might be as a CF. This is a guy who has already had arm tendonitis which is a red flag to me. How long ago? I haven't heard anything recently. Main's problem isn't velocity, but developing consistent secondary pitches. We shouldn't shy away from this.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(briguy27 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:17 PM) hopefully for SF he doesnt pitch like him Haha, that'd be a downer.

We shouldn't shy away from this. He had shoulder tendinitis his junior year. I still want Porcello, but I would be fine with Main.

Main's problem isn't velocity, but developing consistent secondary pitches. We shouldn't shy away from this. Its on his Baseball America scouting report. He had shoulder tendonitis. Me no likey even though it was last yr. and he was said to be recovered. Too risky. But as a CF, yes.

June 7, 200718 yr Josh Smoker will be the pick, i projected it at 12:00 PM today and am sticking too it. He's a pretty polished high school pitcher.
June 7, 200718 yr Author I'd love for Williams to break mold here and select Porcello. If he goes to Detroit we're in trouble. Although Smoker and Griffith are still on the board. I wouldn't be too upset with any of those three, although Porcello is the obvious choice.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:23 PM) If we pass on Porcello someone dies. Hope you got your killing shoes on.
June 7, 200718 yr QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 03:24 PM) I'm going to cry if we take Jackson. Why? I mean I want Porcello, but let's be realistic, we just ain't taking him. Jackson would be great.
June 7, 200718 yr The Sox will not take Porcello. Stop focusing on him and turn to other players that are available. You guys are all avid fans of this organization... you know how they run things. I'll say Burgess
