I'm not sure that would be such a stretch though?? Unless he knew Rodon wasn't going to Houston or Miami.

He was #1 on their board. They are over the moon. I expect a deal to get done quickly.

That is a great pick by the Sox with Spencer Adams, who should have been a first round pick in my opinion. He projects to be a front of the rotation guy and he can be something special with his plus stuff.

An elite athlete, Adams is a three-sport star in high school. The same athleticism that allows him to throw down dunks on the basketball court has helped him develop into a coveted right-hander. Adams' fastball sits in the low 90s and tops out at 95 mph with excellent life. His sharp slider is his best secondary offering and has the potential to be a swing-and-miss offering. His changeup and curveball give him two more pitches that have the chance to be average or better. Adams, a Georgia recruit, has a loose, easy delivery and repeats it well. His long, lean build leads scouts to believe he could add more velocity as he gets stronger and focuses solely on baseball.
