Adam Gaylord and Parker Bangs selected back-to-back. If this wasn't the MLB draft, it would be a porno.

White Sox take another LHP (Yay!) Robert Young from Dartmouth.

Taiwan Easterling drafted by the Marlins in the 31st round. He was drafted by them in the 6th round coming out of HS. He's only a RS SO so hopefully he plays football in the fall and then actually gets some playing time next year on the diamond improving his status.

Cardinals picked Ryan Copeland from ISU.

Dodgers took an Ethier. Gotta be.

Sox picks.

 

Kylin Turnbull LHP - 31

Robert Young LHP - 32

Jarrett Casey LHP - 33

 

Wonder what crazy idea the sox are doing there....

 

And they just selected a Chicago Illinois native. Jamaal Hollis RHP - 34th pick.

Darmouth? Wow, Ivy League. Last I knew, there was only one major league pitcher from an Ivy League school that was currently active.

The A's just selected a RHP named Andrew Bailey. DeJa Vu, all over again.

The Sox just selected John Spatola from Boston College. He's an OF who i've seen play against UCONN a handful of times. He's a decent player, a bit stiff in the field, but the guy can hit.

Great kid! Walk on at BC. Played with Terry Doyle and Kevin Moran. 316 BA +900 OPS this year. What you call a Gamer!

 

Future Sox:"35 (1058): John Spatola, OF, L/L, Boston College

Productive senior outfielder with some speed and power. Crouches down in batting stance. Hit .316/.398/.596 with 17 HR, 21 BB and 46 K in 228 AB. 13-17 SBA.

HS LHP from Cali for the Sox. Ben Griset. He seems like a really interesting guy. He's a commit to St. Mary's but said he'd sign for the right price. Named the top

high school prospect in Merced County. He put up, "a 3-1 record with a 1.08 ERA. He's struck out 52 hitters and surrendered only 12 hits in 26 innings." Has a 90 MPH fastball

Last three sox picks.

 

Dusty Harvard - OF

John Spatola - OF

 

Both seniors. Should be easy signs.

 

Benjamin Griset - LHP

 

High schooler (yay. :))

I'm really liking this Griset kid. He's 6-2-195 and check out these this, " Each time Griset would toe the rubber, scouts would wield their radar guns, fixing their aim on the explosive power pitcher.

He never disappointed.

 

Griset was named the Western Athletic Conference MVP after posting a 6-3 record with six complete games, a 0.68 ERA and 127 strikeouts in 62 innings.

 

He possesses a plus-fastball that tops out at about 92 mph, a sharp breaking ball and, with the help of CenCal director and pitching coach Mike McNeil, is developing a changeup.

 

More important to his draft stock, Griset added 15 pounds to his lower trunk, which will help give his fastball more speed and movement as he moves forward."

Wow, kind of surprised he went that deep in the draft, the way they are describing him. Hopefully he signs.

 

John Shelby's other son, and Trey Bone's little brother was just picked.

 

Jeremy Shelby to the Orioles.

This Griset kid might have the most upside out of anyone we've taken outside of Sale. I really like this kid's arm. If we can sign him, this is a major coup.

It probably means a solid college commit.

Anyone got anything on Chris Lee? I only found his bios, but no scouting report.

 

Sox pick Bradley Salgado SS

 

Another high schooler.

His name is so common that google is giving me fits here.
