Draft question

Rex:

 

I know we had a great year, signing the top ten. Are we likely to sign more of these guys or is that it?

 

Thanks.

 

Forkit!

Honestly, I have no idea. There is always a chance that someone could be signed up until the day they go back to school in a college player's situation or enroll in college for a HS player. Obviously that could be coming soon.

 

Also, all of these guys will be watched and the Sox may try to sign some before next year's draft, hence the term "draft and follow".

Let me try a different angle then:  Is there anyone on that unsigned list that is a glaring "sign him!" Or because they signed the top ten [including the SS] the lesser rounds are not as mandatory this draft?

 

Thanks.

 

Forkit!

Veal and Moviel reek of SIGN ME! High costs though.

Ditto, those are the only two that the draft junkies seem to want bad. I don't know a lot about them, but they supposedly dropped in the draft due to perceived bonus demands. I do know that Moviel is signed to play for Vanderbilt.

I would like to see Brooks and Hodges besides two already mentioned. I think those 4 were deemed unsignable, so if we get any of them I would feel good.

If we signed any one of those four I'd be very happy. My top 3 priorities for signing players that haven't signed yet would be:

1. Donald Veal

2. Paul Moviel

3. Wes Hodges

i personally think you have the 1 and 2 backwards.

 

moviel was rated much higher than veal. veal was drafted where he was suppose to plus or minus

a round.

 

however moviel was rated at a supp 1 rounder or second.

Veal fell because he had a written committment to Arizona, and said he was very doubtful that he would sign. He turned down a 500,000 dollar bonus from the Yankees before the draft, so he fell. Veal was a 2nd to 3rd rounder.
