RockRaines Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What a great pick. Although several people on Soxtalk apparently still want that slow corner slugger (yet they hate ours during game threads) this kid has the potential to be an impact top of the order type hitter. I love the pick. We should see him late next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
