June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:40 PM) They weren't drafting for need. Bell and Swihart were the 2 best players available. I didn't say they were drafting for need. I was ridiculing the idea that the pick was done for "Need". Of course they drafted the guys they had as BPA.
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Cali @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:41 PM) I don't know who the Sox will pick, but I expect a J4L meltdown either way haha The best way to handle it is expect a signable college arm, and be elated if it's something else!

June 7, 201114 yr Someone's going to get great value on Daniel Norris... assuming he's still signable.
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:50 PM) Someone's going to get great value on Daniel Norris... assuming he's still signable. I think Tampa might take him in one of these next two picks.
June 7, 201114 yr Author Josh Bell, Brian Goodwin, Daniel Norris, Dillon Howard, Matt Purke still on the board. So like every year, there will be some legitimate talent there for the Sox. Wonder what the excuse will be this time around.

June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:18 PM) Bell would probably cost the Sox their entire draft budget. No chance. Just saying the talent is there. I hate the excuse that they've rarely had top 10 picks.

June 7, 201114 yr I wonder if the Sox are interested in Osich. I suspected Chafin would be in the mix.
June 7, 201114 yr So does Norris have signability issues? Who are you guys looking at for the Sox pick? 2 away now....
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:39 PM) Who's the BPA? Josh Bell, Austin Hedges Andrew Susac, Alex Dickerson. Position Players. Daniel Norris, Dillon Howard, Josh Osich, Dillon maples, Jorge Lopez, Purke. Pitchers. Edited June 7, 201114 yr by DirtySox
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:38 PM) So does Norris have signability issues? Who are you guys looking at for the Sox pick? 2 away now.... Norris, Bell, Dillon Howard or Purke. I don't care about signability. There was no money devoted to a 1st round pick.
