harfman77 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 If the Sox use the money they save playing it safe on Petricka to sign Grimes it makes both picks a lot better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy the Sox took last year in like the 17th round, but he went to UNC. Pretty much. There's always someone who slides like this due to signability. A team will take a flyer in him late but it seems likely that he'll be attending Stanford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 (edited) Is Cunningham still on the board? If so, that be a nice steal. Nvm saw he was taken. I'll still tune in to see where Shipers goes. Always gotta root for the little guys and I like Cobey Guy. Sox just took Andrew Wilkins. 1B First position player taken in the draft!

ptatc Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jun 8, 2010 -> 12:40 PM) But, but they're billionaires. They're in bankruptcy because they choose to be. they're also businessmen for whom the baseball team is not their only focus. They didn't buy the baseball team to blow all thier money on and go broke. They're in bankruptcy because if the teams don't generate large profits and if you don't inject outside money in, they are bankrupt divisions. Just because they have the money it doesn't mean they should put it all into a sports team which won't generate the revenue that one of their others businesses will. By the way, this only applies to a team that is primarily owned by one individual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
