CWSGuy406 Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 07:47 PM) They have additional compensation picks, so if Porcello is the pick they're not guranteeing much money for later picks. I'm hoping San Diego and San Francisco have similar reasons for not throwing 8 million at Porcello. I would be perfectly fine with the Sox taking a "lesser" talent in the second round if they're able to land Porcello. Taking Porcello would certainly make a lot of people happy...

We're not selecting until 89. What exactly are we saving the money for? Even with Boras as an agent, 8 million for one player of Porcello's calibur is a risk well worth the money.

Dick Allen Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 They should go to rapid fire picks, and take a 10 minute break every 10 picks or so so ESPN can feel they are a part of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm worried about Los Angeles (20) and Texas (24) before us. I wouldn't be surprised if Los Angeles took Smoker or Main, though. It's Texas which freightens me. Conventional wisdom would say one of their first rounders would be devoted to a pitcher, another a positional player, but Texas isn't exactly conventional. Just for fun, I'll list my useless draft board. 1. BAP (Best Available Pitcher among Josh Smoker, Michael Main, Madison Bumgarner, Porcello) 2. Nevin Griffith (Most likely available at #25) 3. Matt LaPorta 4. Joe Savery (has recently begun to hit 95mph. Yes, he's a Rice pitcher; but before the season began he was a Top 10 selection.)
