Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I am not for the Sox going under slot to save money for later rounds. In their history of 4th round selections, the team has only drafted 2 players that have put up more than a 1.0 total WAR for their team. Baldwin and Thigpen.

Dick Allen Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 8, 2015 -> 12:48 PM) I think they end up with Illinois LHP Tyler Jay All the lefties. Stone did say he thought Jay could be in a major league bullpen this season, and the Sox could use another lefty. Then have him work on getting stretched out this winter and go back to the minors.

Probably need Brendan Rodgers to Colorado at 3 for Jay to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's mainly why I hope they take a bat. It's a crap shoot. Roll the dice on a guy that could be in the lineup for 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one nice thing about this draft. Every mock is different, even at the top. NFL, NBA, you can pretty much tell who the top 20 guys will be in a halfway decent sequence, but here a guy who some might have going #1 might not go until #10.

There's just something about the fact that he's not even starting in college that makes me afraid of him. I know the Sox can change a lot about his mechanics, but I'd feel much better if I at least had SOME evidence that the stuff works for multiple innings.

Last year we read how much Cooper loved Aiken, how much the Sox loved Kolek, yet Hahn said, and he might have been BSing, that Rodon was the one guy they wanted all along, which made a lot of sense considering how leery they seem to be about HS pitching in round 1. Hahn did mention before that draft on a broadcast that Rodon was the best pitcher in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they have thrown him for 3-4 inning saves at times. He's starting today. He's the best pitcher on their staff. Hartleb is a dope though and had his best pitcher relieving instead of starting.

I know the Sox can change a lot about his mechanics, but I'd feel much better if I at least had SOME evidence that the stuff works for multiple innings. He's not a traditional reliever so I don't think that is fair. What I am worried about is developing him like he's Sale or Rodon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we select Jay over either of them is #rotationofallofthelefties Again, you dont draft for need, you take best available. If the Sox have a rotation of all lefties down the road, so be it. I will go into battle with the Sale, Rodon, Q, and Jay as a 1-4. Does Dillon Tate's mechanics remind anyone else of Dontrelle Willis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
