Sox Draft Carlos Rodon> Draft Day Discussion Thread

This is one of those moves that even if Rodon is a complete bust, no one should complain about the Sox drafting him. It's 100% the right move.

 

I won't complain if Rodon is a bust. I will complain if the Sox don't sign him, or if they go over slot to sign him.

Wow we really really really f***ed over the Cubs seeing that.

 

 

 

Nola should be perfect for them though

 

Nah, they want a middling colllege bat apparently. Gammons, senile as he is, seems pretty convinced "he's the most advanced college bat". Uh, no, that's Jackson.

Better question, has a team with a decent offense and a 1,2,3 as good as Sale, Q, and Rodon (could be) ever failed?

 

I mean that's like Braves 90's all over again dominant front line staff.

 

 

And Danks looking like Glavine Lite if he can learn how to pitch with diminished velocity.

 

Let's just hope Rodon/Sale don't end up like Steve Avery, haha.

Really interesting next couple of picks. Might indicate what the Sox know about his demands. College senior next? Stinnett maybe? Fan of his.

 

Yep, I mentioned the chance of this exact scenario a few days ago.

Jackson is a high schooler

Isn't Jackson in hs?

 

Some say Zimmer, some say Pentecost, there's a lot of different opinions. Conforto, etc.

Brian Cartwright ‏@blcartwright 2h

Kyle Schwarber 1.04 to Cubs Oliver peak (age 27) proj 330 wOBA 247/321/437 comps - Mike Carp, Ryan Roberts, S VanSlyke

 

If you can get a Mike Carp at $4 you gotta do it.

 

Wow, Jackson falling into the M's lap.

Schwarber is basically Prince Fielder which is why this pick doesnt make any sense.

Especially for a team and farm system that needs pitching, in a draft loaded with pitchers no less. Lmfao!
