August 22, 201510 yr What is interesting about this report is it was written by Mike Pazik who a couple weeks later would be named the Sox 3rd pitching coach of the 1995 season, replacing Don Cooper who was reassigned to the minor league staff.

And we got him from the Yankees, who didn't think Jose Quintana was worth protecting on the 40 man roster.
August 23, 201510 yr QUOTE (raBBit @ Aug 23, 2015 -> 05:35 PM) Posada was probably a steroid user. When I saw that yesterday, that was first thing I thought of. Scouting reports in the mid-90s? Grain of salt.

August 24, 201510 yr I don't really see what any unfounded speculation about PED use has to do with this topic in the first place. Not to mention that if you're saying you're glad we passed on him because you think he wound up using PEDs, you're a bit naive. Edited August 24, 201510 yr by 3GamesToLove
August 24, 201510 yr Remember this article? http://m.mlb.com/news/article/124200124/jo...in-hall-of-fame Bold words if he has something to hide.
August 24, 201510 yr Before we mock the Sox, let's go see everyone's pre-draft scouting report on Chris Sale.
August 24, 201510 yr I don't see this being that big of a deal. It is scouting. I bet lots of other teams might have had similar scouting reports. What did teams say about Chris Sale, who fell to us? Its scouting...more often then not you are wrong.

August 24, 201510 yr I don't really understand why Rovell thought the Sox report was even worthy of posting. What's his point? Like has been pointed out, scouts are routinely wrong. Just look at any draft in any sport.

I still found it interesting and it was well timed since they retired his number in New York over the weekend.
August 24, 201510 yr In case anyone wants to see the 2010 Draft thread, most here were crazy about Sale.] http://www.soxtalk.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77853

August 24, 201510 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 11:56 AM) Was Bryce Harper a catcher? At the time of draft, yes.

August 24, 201510 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 12:00 PM) What would be interesting is to redraft the 2010 draft. I have to imagine Harper, Sale and Machado would be the Top 3.
August 24, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Aug 24, 2015 -> 12:05 PM) I have to imagine Harper, Sale and Machado would be the Top 3. Throwing Matt Harvey into the mix as well, who goes #1 would be interesting. And out of that bunch, who had Chris Sale as the only to NOT suffer a major injury. Wow.
August 24, 201510 yr The Posada scouting report was written while he was in the minors. It wasn't like it was something that kept the White Sox from signing him.

I don't think he has suffered an injury yet.
