June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 10:05 PM) RD 18: Randall Thorpe, OF, San Jacinto JUCO, a redraft. The Sox took Thorpe in the 29th round in 2008. He had great speed and defensive ability then, not sure about now

June 8, 201015 yr If we're looking for another nice 1b bat, Mike Nemeth from Uconn wouldn't be the worst direction to look in...

Who cares, why just draft a LHP because they throw lefty? At this point in the draft, it's all luck anyways. Edited June 8, 201015 yr by fathom

June 8, 201015 yr Do people really think it matters that much whether or not our 15th round pick is a RHP or a LHP? Seriously, if any of the guys after the first couple rounds go on to make the big leagues, I'm happy with the pick.
June 8, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:59 PM) Do people really think it matters that much whether or not our 15th round pick is a RHP or a LHP? Seriously, if any of the guys after the first couple rounds go on to make the big leagues, I'm happy with the pick. This is a concern about the draft at large. We filled a middle infield need, a pitching need, but not the left-handed pitching need which is a pretty dramatic problem in our organization. When Randy Williams and Wes Whistler are literally our best options, something's gotta give.
June 8, 201015 yr Author QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 05:03 PM) We just took Ozney in the 22nd round. It is almost worse to take him here than to not take him at all.
