Isnt he projected in rounds 5-10? If that is the case, he will be our comp pick at the end of the third round.

 

Yes he was. He is pretty damn talented. I wouldn't be pissed at all, unless it was before round 6.

 

Wow.. Whitson picked before some of the other pitchers (and I LOVE Whitson). This draft is getting interesting.

Edited by SoxAce

Rumor is Sale wants too much money. He's got a great looking swing though - I'd love to see him at #13.

Wow....there's going to be a big time player available

 

I know....just like every year....and they'll pass.....just like every year....and I'll be pissed.....just like every year....

 

You would think I would learn by now.

Top four college players left according to Baseball America:

 

4. Chris Sale, lhp, Florida Gulf Coast

6. Zack Cox, 3b, Arkansas

9. Deck McGuire, rhp, Georgia Tech

10. Michael Choice, of, Texas-Arlington

 

Is there any chance we take one of these guys?

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:57 AM)
How are the Sox going to piss everyone off this year?

 

One of the Sale's, Grandal, Cox or Allie will be there. Ranaudo too.

 

Taking Brandon Workman over Grandal/Sale

Being able to pick from Grandal, Castellanos, Sale, Ranuado, and Wilson would be magical.

 

And all the more frustrating if one isn't a Sox draftee.

I am going to hold out hope the last two years were any indication that the sox brass has changed their ways and are drafting more high upside guys. I loved the Beckham pick, and seriously warmed up to Mitchell (who I knew fathom called and liked)

helluva pick by the A's....can't wait to see Choice in the bigs.

Good to see McGuire go. Can't believe the two Sale's are going to be there. Cincy likely to take Wimmers. We couldn't have asked for this to go better, now is the time to pay up!

It'll be interesting with them if they don't f*** up. Personally, I think they should take Cox, but they might be thinking of next year's crop of position players too. I heard they wanted Colon, and if he left, probably a pitcher.
