Last night started off like crap (for us). The Sox first three picks will be 80, 110 and 141. Here's a list of the top remaining talent courtesy of Baseball America:

 

No. 15. Josh Bell, of

 

No. 16. Daniel Norris, lhp

 

No. 28. Austin Hedges, c

 

No. 30 Andrew Susac, c

 

No. 31 Dillon Howard, rhp

 

No. 32 Matt Purke, lhp

 

No. 39 Jorge Lopez, rhp

 

No. 41 Josh Osich, lhp

 

No. 42 Alex Dickerson, of

 

No. 46 Dillon Maples, rhp

 

No. 50 Tony Zych, rhp

 

I'd also like to add Anthony Meo (P), Jason Esposito (3B/SS), Derek Fisher (OF) and Ricky Oropesa (3B/1B) to the list.

This might be the least interested I've been in following the draft since 2003. And I'm dead serious. I have no idea whether it's from not following college baseball that much this year, not hearing about under the radar high schoolers locally or from getting this new job which is night shift, or even not having a first round pick, I've just lost the energy for it.

Why have said players fallen? Has to be signability, right?

 

No doubt the Rays clean house today anyways. Knowing what they have in place, they reach with their own second rounder (I imagine they have it still) and take high upside players they can sign with their other 28 picks.

Nationals, Pirates and D-backs all with A+.

To this point, yes. And let's not act like I'm the only human being on the planet that gives out draft grades right away. Happens in every sport. I'm not waiting until 2015.

I don't mind giving draft's flash grades, but we just need to realize as good as drafts look today, those same ones will look very bad in four years. And vice versa. I would be interesting to see how Baseball America's draft grades look four years later. Probably very little correlation.
