I hate the Red Sox. Well played Boston, well played

 

I still think they're the best run organization in baseball.

Wow, the Red Sox are racking it up in this draft.

Well the nice thing is that for all those who complained about the Sox making "safe" picks, they really haven't done so since the summer after they won the World Series. So for everyone who talks about not living in the past there, hopefully they will do the samething when it comes to complaining about our drafting.

So... Does Robert Alomar actually have AIDS, or was that just a rumor?

Well, I guess the Angels had a plan...5 HS kids.

I'll shut up as far as "safe" goes for now. But we still need to devote more money to the draft.

WOJO to the Jays. Alomar struggled through that one.

There goes Asher...it's too bad we had no comp picks this year.

There is still plenty of problems with the White Sox drafting. See the aversion of taking prep players in the 1st round. They also spend an abysmal amount overall. Routinely in the bottom 5 of all baseball.

 

The Chris Sale pick was great, but that doesn't make them immune to criticism.

I love the direction Toronto is headed.

That organization is looking poised for great things with Romero rounding into Santana-lite.

Right, the safe myth is busted. However, it's hard to go really high upside without a bigger draft budget.

If the Tigers get Allie, i'll be pissed.

Seems like the last thing they need is another power arm in the bullpen.
