To be fair, the top picks when the Sox did have a top 4 pick:
2014: Brady Aiken, Tyler Kolek, Carlos Rodon.
The other two teams psyched themselves out of picking Rodon and the Sox made the easy best pick. I know Schwarber went next - and the top 13 includes Nola, Conforto and Turner - but Aiken, Kolek and Rodon were the consistently mocked top trio, and Schwarber was a shocker.
2018: Casey Mize, Joey Bart, Alec Bohm, Nick Madrigal, Jonathan India, Jarred Kelenic
Yeah. India or Kelenic would have been a better grab.
2019: Adley Rutschman Jr., Bobby Witt Jr., Andrew Vaughn.
I think Vaughn's doing fine and should get the benefit of the doubt after being rushed to play OF. But man, do I wish the Sox could have lost 5 more games for Witt (there was no way they were making up 15 games for Adley).
