I really wish I could get an understanding at what the sox will identify as their needs. Edited September 5, 2014 by LDF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at video of him and he has an assholes and elbows kind of delivery that looks way too inconsistent. I looked at video of the projected #10 Walker Buehler and really liked what I saw. Interestingly enough I also found this from BA dated August 28 about the Cape Cod League and the first name mentioned is Walker Buehler. http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/cap...30-prospects-2/ I feel my inner baseball nerd coming out.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 I'm all about another college pitcher and if they draft played out like that I'd be happy with the Sox having their choice of Fulmer, Buelher, Ferrell, and Funkhouser.....Happ and Stewart also looks interesting.....Haven't looked into any of the HS players yet since I'd prefer a college guy.

Boopa1219 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) I have only been looking up HS players but I can do the college pitchers too. Personally, I'm hoping for either Tucker or Hooper in the first round and Ryan Mountcastle in the second. On a side note: Holy s***, I wished the Sox signed Soler Edited September 5, 2014 by Joshua Strong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. nothing that I have read seem to overwhelm me. I don't know. if the sox were picking 5-10 the pitcher I really am impress with is Josh Sborz. I know he is not rated in this write up. but I really am impress. where the sox is projected to pick as of tonite, I will look again as I mention before, of'er. there are 3 gems depending on how Bolt develops maybe 4.

They have before, most recently in 2012. If you want you could consider 2013 and Tim Anderson too since he was a 19 year old JuCo player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Personally hoping there's a lefty college power bat available where the Sox pick, who's a potential fast-mover. But BPA of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the Sox go with a college player in the first round next year, even if it is Aiken or Bickford, I'm really hoping that Matuella falls to us though. For the second round I hope Hahn & co. go for a high-upside prep bat, a couple of players really stuck out from that list that might be available when our second pick rolls around. has amazing size and athleticism almost in a Vlad Guerrero mold and Jahmai Jones has great bat speed and the athleticism to play several positions. Regardless of which way they go with their picks it looks like a pretty strong class this year and we should get another couple of good prospects out of it.

LDF Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I was reading fan graph on their mock draft. an interesting prospect pop up. have any ever heard of a baseball pitcher pitching with both arms? Ryan Perez, BHP, Judson (IL): This switch pitcher from a tiny college in Illinois isn’t just a sideshow. Perez is better from the left side, where he’s 90-93 with a plus slider at his best, and both pitches are a tick or two lower from the right side. He has solid command, but some scouts only saw average stuff at times and wonder if he can go in the top 5 rounds since they haven’t seen a changeup.
