Read the post above you. Boston's clearly cleaning up.

 

I would agree so far. Barnes fell significantly into Boston's lap. Swihart would be taken already too if he wasn't asking for the moon.

Wow, Boston got top 20-30 talent at pick 26? I can't believe that. What a steal!

 

Baseball America has him at number 17. I don't disagree. He might not stick at catcher, but the bat will play if he needs a transition.

They filled a need with their second pick. Yes, I'd say they're doing well.

Yeah, they're weak at the catching position. The solution is to draft a catcher out of high school...collect underpants...wait 5-6 years...and profit!

 

Drafting High Schoolers based on filling a need? Are you kidding?

They weren't drafting for need. Bell and Swihart were the 2 best players available.

What's the problem? He's a first round talent. At worse early supplemental. And that's only because of his asking price. Somebody was going to take him. If Boston had only one pick this round and had taken him instead of Barnes then that's one thing.
