Cerbaho-WG Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I thought Adam Loewen was still in Draft and Follow phase. O's gave up on him? Would be great to see him slide to 15, but I doubt it will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I thought Adam Loewen was still in Draft and Follow phase. O's gave up on him? Would be great to see him slide to 15, but I doubt it will happen. My guess is that is why there is an asterisk by the Orioles name. The O's still can sign him up to a week before the draft since he went to a JUCO and not a four-year school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Hudler Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Scrubs pick close to top 5 every dam year it seems. And Sox almost always are at 15 or 16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go for best available. If a solid position player is there in the high rounds, it might be a good year to go for it, since they have loaded up on arms the past few years. But if there is a better talent at pitcher, take him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Signability is always key. Sox have been pretty good about signing their top picks, except for Bobby Seay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 Next year we will draft higher. I doubt it. If nothing in the GM and/or managerial regime changes, this team will be out of contention in two to three weeks and, come August, when the fire sale begins and the hungry youngsters are brought up, the Sox will make yet another drive to .500..... being mediocre at best and getting a middle-of-the-pack, medicore-just-like-the team is pick.
