June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:07 PM) Wong? Wow. I don't like him at all. He's got the physique of a 12 year old. Low ceiling FTL
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:14 PM) C'mon Josh Bell to Tampa! I'm guessing either him or Swihart (they desperately need some catching). Edit: They still could go with either or even both before this round is over. Edited June 7, 201114 yr by Jordan4life
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:29 PM) High School catchers in the first round...not a good idea. Read the post above you. Boston's clearly cleaning up.

June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Read the post above you. Boston's clearly cleaning up. I would agree so far. Barnes fell significantly into Boston's lap. Swihart would be taken already too if he wasn't asking for the moon.
June 7, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:30 PM) Read the post above you. Boston's clearly cleaning up. He's a consensus top 20-30 talent by most.
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:33 PM) He's a consensus top 20-30 talent by most. Wow, Boston got top 20-30 talent at pick 26? I can't believe that. What a steal!
June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 08:34 PM) Wow, Boston got top 20-30 talent at pick 26? I can't believe that. What a steal! Baseball America has him at number 17. I don't disagree. He might not stick at catcher, but the bat will play if he needs a transition.

June 7, 201114 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 6, 2011 -> 09:36 PM) They filled a need with their second pick. Yes, I'd say they're doing well. Yeah, they're weak at the catching position. The solution is to draft a catcher out of high school...collect underpants...wait 5-6 years...and profit! Drafting High Schoolers based on filling a need? Are you kidding?

They weren't drafting for need. Bell and Swihart were the 2 best players available.

He's a first round talent. At worse early supplemental. And that's only because of his asking price. Somebody was going to take him. If Boston had only one pick this round and had taken him instead of Barnes then that's one thing. Edited June 7, 201114 yr by Jordan4life
