August 28, 200718 yr I gave up looking at the standings about a month ago. For some reason I looked today and I knew we were terrible, but I didn't realize there are only 2 teams in MLB with a record worst then us
August 29, 200718 yr QUOTE(Jim Spencer @ Aug 28, 2007 -> 03:09 PM) I gave up looking at the standings about a month ago. For some reason I looked today and I knew we were terrible, but I didn't realize there are only 2 teams in MLB with a record worst then us Aw, I thought we had the second-worst record? Who passed us?
August 29, 200718 yr They do have second-worse. But with Tampa being worst, that only gets the Sox the #3 pick.
August 29, 200718 yr So if we get the second overall pick for next year's draft, do you think the Sox will manage to not let him pitch in the majors until after he has 5 minor league seasons under his belt being the slow moving organization that we are.
August 29, 200718 yr We can't get the 2nd overall unless an NL team starts sucking and TB starts winning.

When determining draft order league is not a determining factor. The first 3 picks in the draft could come from the same division if those teams had the three worst records in baseball.

I still remember in 2005 when they ran an article in the Houston Chronicle that showed his wedding picture in which both him and his wife posed in tux and wedding gown wearing Sox caps.

I'd take Gary Hunsicker (sp?), the person who was the GM for the 'stros before Tim Purpura was. That '05 team that the Sox faced in the WS were all Hunsicker's doings.
