Chisoxfn Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I would love to grab a stud SS early on. Or a stud pitching prospect, possibly someone who slides that wants lots of green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I am going to go KLaw on this one. When was the last time the Sox took a HS player in the first round? 2000? I think it will be a safe bet college arm, Brian Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danman31 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 26, 2011 -> 12:15 AM) Fixed. I don't get it. The 'safe' arms everyone refers to were pitchers with good control and multiple pitches, but low velocity fastballs. With Poreda and Sale the Sox took high velocity arms with a lot of talent. That stigma should be gone by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Right now we are # 14 going into Tuesday's action. If we win the last two, Kenny might yet have a chance to get rid of it. Just read the Moneyball article in SI; Boston and Epstein a bit ahead of the curve, and they stockpiled draft choices, whereas Kenny gives them away for guys like Dunn.

DirtySox Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Draft slot isn't looking so hot if the Sox keep winning. Cinci, Cleveland, and Toronto (obviously) losing at the moment. Washington tied. Possible for the Sox to fall from the 13th pick to 17th if they win today and tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Could be dicey if we win Wed (which means Toronto loses) and Cleveland loses. Then it depends on tiebreakers, but if we fall out of the bottom 15, Kenny figures to give away the pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
