Him having TJ his junior year is definitely a negotiating tactic for the Sox. What other team can keep pitchers healthy and help supplement their fastball better than the Sox? I'm not expecting him to sign but the Sox have a better chance than most if the kids at least considering going pro.

 

Hopefully we have money left in the pool to exceed $100,000 by a fair amount.

Last two picks were nice:

 

 

Ben Brewster

 

 

11 k/9 2.74 as a reliever at Maryland. Unique delivery.

 

 

Matt Cooper:

 

 

1.60 ERA 106 ks in 106 IPs. 1.04 WHIP. At Hawaii.

 

High arm slot with high leg raise delivery

Throws FB, CV, CH, occasional SL

Fastball sits 88-92

Best pitch is 12/6 curve with big break

Throws strikes

Shows good command of all pitches

Relaxed on the mound

I'm not watching the draft, who did we take that had TJ and is a good prospect and commit to Mizzou?

A guy named Bryce de Oca or Bryce Montes de Oca - not sure.

Too bad we couldn't pull in Curtis Curtis, lucky Brewers.

 

Looking at our picks to this point, we must have ours eyes on a guy named Jake Jake. I hear he's totally jake.

Heard from someone in the know that the the Sox likely would have taken Alex Jackson (similar to what Bucket was saying draft night) if Rodon was gone . Some Sox people think he'll put up better career numbers than Bryce Harper.
