Sox Draft Carlos Rodon> Draft Day Discussion Thread

Featured Replies

Spencer Adams would be awesome at 44, I like Forrest Wall a lot too. I guess they go slightly off the board though.

Good

Heard he was target #1 after Schwarber was pegged for less $$. Cubs wanted Rodon big time too.

Not a good time for the north side plan.

 

 

Start up again lets go.

Other than the few I PM'ed. This was a hard secret to keep. Jeez.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jun 6, 2014 -> 03:17 AM)
Not even worth it at 44 you think?

Probably not. I'd be targeting the prep arms. That's the strength of the class.

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 08:45 PM)
We all agree that Rodon is the top prospect in the system, assuming that he signs?

 

If he's a fast riser to the majors, do the minor league services even give the Sox a bump because of him?

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 5, 2014 -> 09:31 PM)
Anybody interested in AJ Reed at #44? Power-hitting LH 1B.

 

Not high on him.

Best available

Foley

Gatto

Adams

I really wanted Forrest Wall to the Sox, good pick by the Rockies

Sucks for them the Cards are good at this. Love the Rodon pick, so lucky he fell to the Sox. Really interested for the 2nd pick.

Hmm?

Must be overdraft a Catcher night.

Now 10 players left on the Baseball America Top 500 that are ranked higher than the Sox pick, 5 picks to go:

 

19. Sean Reid-Foley, RHP

20. Monte Harrison, OF

21. Jacob Gatewood, SS

23. Spencer Adams, RHP

33. Jacob Bukauskas, RHP (signability issues)

36. Nick Burdi, RHP

40. Michael Gettys, OF

41. A.J. Reed, 1B

42. Joe Gatto, RHP

43. Mike Papi, OF/1B

Top 500 or Top 50?

Adams, Foley, or Gatto would make me happy. No chance they take Baukauskas.

Also if the Sox had any aptitude for fixing players swings, Gettys would be awesome. All the other tools are bonkers.

They do a top 500. I'm listing players ranked higher than where the Sox pick, 44.

What are you keeping from us?

I assume Rock is referring to Rondo and not talking about it before the draft :)

I'm sure I already missed this discussion, but why hasn't Reid-Foley come off the board yet?

What is the big deal Rock?

I'm not sure that would be such a stretch though?? Unless he knew Rodon wasn't going to Houston or Miami.
