fathom Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 04:02 PM) Right, I understand the concept, but as you said that's shady dealings. I dislike it very much. Sounds like something that would happen to us next year when we have a top 5 pick, and we'd end up taking a guy projected to go in the 20-30 range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a large discrepancy in what Grandal would likely receive as a bonus over someone like Loux and Wojo. Are the Sox willing to loosen the purse strings for talent that falls? And does that apply to talent that falls to 2nd and 3rd round range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loux is the exception. Yuck. This is exactly how I stand too. Edited June 7, 2010 by Ozzie Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 With Wojo, at the very least you're getting someone that can be a power reliever if starting doesn't work out. With Loux, you possibly have a rotation member to go along with McCullough and Broadway for the Windy City Thunderbolts. Kidding...I hope!

No doubt. Picking 13 in this draft class kind of sucks. No-man's land as Laumann said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kvasnicka, do not want. Maybe in a later round, certainly not at 13. I would prefer Brentz to Loux though, and I'm not high on Brentz at all.

fathom Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'd love the Brentz pick, as he could be a real impact player. Kvasnicka would be a bad pick, as he's not top 15 material and we'd be drafting for need instead of talent, which is a big no-no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderBolt Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I'm hoping that Mitchell gives KW a call ,and guilts him into a Raunado pick. That being said i would not be dissapointed at ALL with Brentz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 7, 2010 -> 10:57 AM) Callis mock draft has Sox taking Loux, EVEN with Grandal and McGuire still on the board. If that happens, you might as well just sell the team. NO to McGuire. He's being touted as this year's 'safe pick' who 'knows how to win.' We've seen how that philosophy has played out in the past. I'd really love to take a chance with Matt Harvey if he's around. Although I know better. He'd be a great selection for someone with multiple first round picks, like the Angels or Houston.
