Morel, Sierra (from Shakira's hometown) was 4/5 with two doubles, Gilmore and Kenny Williams, Jr., with offensive honors.

 

Trayce Thompson 1/3 with another 2B. Batting .344, did make a fielding error.

 

A catcher (Sierra) that weighs 150 pounds? Is that accurate?

Just curious, what is the ABSOLUTE best possible offensive upside of Morel?

 

Someone like Kouzmanoff or Teahen? Or better?

 

What are some current major leaguers you would make a comparison to...?

 

Always seems to be linked to this guy : http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/r/randajo01.shtml

 

That's pretty good, honestly, considering the level of defense he plays.

Trayce also had a SB. I'm getting real excited about this kid. I initially laughed at the Mike Stanton comparison article last year, but now it doesn't seem as far-fetched.

 

The 2008 Draft looks like it could be one of the best the Sox have had in a long time.

If Morel could hit .285 with 10-15 HR and 80 RBI, that would be wonderful considering his defense.

Really hard to say right now.

 

The defense seems to be there. Does he have the offensive skills to be a serious 'everyday player' type of MLB prospect? Don't know.

 

People weren't sure last year he had the power to be an everyday 3B. But he surprised people. Then the question was whether he could hit for a high enough average... and he lead the AFL in hitting.

 

What type of player is he really? This season should tell us alot.

Those numbers sound a lot like what we'd expect from Teahen, although 80 RBI's a BIT reaching perhaps...I think most would expect 60-75 to be honest, with our offense.

 

Randa is interesting, you'd be absolutely delighted if he (MOREL) put up those same numbers Teahen recorded with the Royals' high powered offenses a decade ago (albeit no pitching)...I think there was one year he had over 100 or close to it and around 9-12 homers, if memory serves correct.

The 2008 draft is already the best we've had in at least 10 years. Beckham by himself makes this true (although he's stinkin' up the joint right now). And TT is a 2009 draft pick by the way.

D'oh, meant to say 2009 Draft.

 

However, 2008 with Gordon-Morel-Hudson-D2 is great, though 2009 could be just as good if guys live up to potential, especially Mitchell and Thompson.

 

Best 2 drafts they've had in a long time though.
