Totally called the Heathcott pick.

Any chance for Brothers to be there at 38...?

Quentin is more of a LF? How so. He came up as a RF, played RF in college, and has a very strong arm. I'd think his whole defensive skill set pointed to RF.

He gets poor reads on the ball and doesn't have good range. Quentin has good speed for a big, but little acceleration. If it weren't for the fact that Lfers are so bad defensively in general, I'd call Quentin a below average lf. However, based on his competition he's at least average, potential to be above average but he ain't there.

I laugh at some of the people in this thread pretending to be experts and saying it's inexcuseable to pass on a certain guy. It's the freaking MLB draft and we had the 23rd pick in the first round! None of you have any f***ing idea who is going to be good and who isn't in this draft, even the scouts who have seen these guys hundreds of times aren't entirely sure. We took a guy who is by all accouts a superb athlete with great talent who could turn out to be a star once he focuses on baseball entirely. Give me a break with the ripping of the pick when you have no idea yourself how it will turn out. It's not like we took some guy projected to go in the 30th round.

Don't you dare get my hopes up.

Our next pick is 38. Hopefully someone falls and we take a chance.

If we do it, it won't be this early. Sox aren't about to waste a selection.

yep...im gonna say it cuz i know I'm not the only one thinking it....and people might torch me for saying this...but i think kenny williams gives preferential treatment to black players

If that's true, perhaps KW regrets not drafting Brothers. Probably thought he would get more than one black player.

Washington? What a weird draft. The Rays love tools even more then we do.

Does KW pick someone like E. Williams if he's there at 38?

I mean if you hate this pick then something is wrong with you. It's a definite hit or miss, but like I said I'll gladly take the gamble on all upside like this. I'm not a fan of Mitchel, but I do like the kid and his intangebles. I'm alot higher on him then when people were slurping C. Young when he was here. To me he's already our best OF potential wise in the minors. Now if he figures it out.. he's Sizemore basically, if not.. he'll be a worse bust than Joe Borchard. Just my two cents.

I've never got a chance to watch him play much RF, but it looked to me his troubles in LF came from the fact he wasn't used to the spot.

"Lots of Brothers will be available, dude."

He damn well might. I'm not opposed to it either. The Sox new drafting strategy is to get as much talent as possible. They did so already in Mitchell and Williams would fit the bill. I still expect them to opt for a pitcher but if a real good looking high school outfielder is there, one whom they were believed to like a lot at 23, well it be tough to pass on him.

I'll still take Danks but I love that guy.

The Cubs really need a pitcher here.

It looks like the Cubs are done with Tyler Colvin.

Cubs have been rumored to be looking for an OF. Is Brett Jackson gone? Wheeler from Sacremento State is there too. If Jacksons there it'll be him, otherwise Wheeler, imo.

Cubs took California OF Brett Jackson.

Harold Reynolds should stick to harassing women and not analyzing draft prospects

I thought you were just agreeing with me my midnight friend.

Oh, I do love you... But that wasn't my post you were referring to. Soxfan101 wrote what you quoted. That's why I was a bit confused, lol.

Any word on why Scheppers is falling so far? Ditto with Brothers?

Aside from the Sox pick, I've pretty much been a machine today. Someone should pay me a large sum of money to do this for a living, haha.

Because they aren't as good as the people masquarading as experts around here think they are? Either that or signability I'd assume.

You're just a ray of sunshine tonight, aren't you?

I'd take Mitchell over Jackson every day of the week. Both are raw but Mitchell has so much more upside.
