June 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:44 PM) He'd do well against the Sox, don't know how he'd be pitching for them... Basically sounds like Buehrle. Fastball, changeup, curve. Lefty, smart PITCHER not thrower. I'm sure we could have gotten him later though.

I'm sure we could have gotten him later though. Don't be so sure. He was widely considered one of the better preps in the country. Went right around where he was projected or at least within 20 or so picks. I don't think a guy at this point who would go within a round of when you got him would be considered a reach, imo.
June 10, 200916 yr Draft starting back up. I'm going to throw out the name Sam Dyson. Would love to get Dysons arm in the Sox system.
June 10, 200916 yr Callis flat out knows his s***. He's just running off facts without a sheet in front of him.

June 10, 200916 yr So far, I'll give this draft a meh. Love the Phegley pick, really advanced hitter. We addressed the need in the OF, but we drafted two pretty big projects. Right now both Mitchell and Thompson are more so athletes rather than baseball players. Would have prefered maybe Kipnis instead of Thompson. Or, I think it woulda been better to go with Gould at 61 and Max Walla at 71. Holmberg is meh. Decent pick, maybe he can develop some more velocity.

June 10, 200916 yr QUOTE (JDsDirtySox @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 07:04 PM) Has Diego been taken yet? NOpe, Max Stassi is still out there as well, IIRC. Dominguez off the board to the Giants.

June 10, 200916 yr Man, Seattle is just killing it. Kyle Seager is Ackley's teammate at UNC and was UNC's second best hitter. He's a very good talent as well.

Prolly bragging, but have him on my radio show at school bout twice per semester. Also see him around where I live and have talked with him. Super super nice.
June 10, 200916 yr I want Wil Myers if he's still there at 102. A bit raw, but a phenomenal athlete from behind the plate and has really quick hands.
June 10, 200916 yr I really, reaaly, really hope I am wrong, but I fear Mitchell is a wasted pick. I just don't know of any college hitter who strikes out 30% of his ABs having success in the majors. Hopefully Mitchell will step inj and prove me wrong...I just don't see it.
