My first name is Craig, and my last name ends in Low.

i was picked 12th to run the big show.

I’m not very good at what I try to do,

But I just love to talk with everyone of you.

At that time the Red Sox strategy was to focus on drafting the so called  " best player available " . Evidently, that pretty much disqualified pitchers from consideration.  I think they have changed that strategy in the past year or so. Unfortunately, too late for Schlittler. 

Schlitter was a 7th round pick out of Northeastern meaning roughly 200 guys were picked before he was.  He was undrafted out of high school.  He’s a late bloomer and nobody foresaw him turning into what he has, including the Yankees.

Schlitter was good but not great at Northeastern.  His senior year, he wasn’t even their best pitcher, hetting out pitched by a kid two years younger named Wyatt Scotti who went on to never get drafted.  But Schlitter was 6’6” tall, unlike his teammate, and that undoubtedly contributed to his late round selection.  But everyone passed on him at least 6 times.  

He wasn’t some hidden gem; he was a project that fit the size requirements…

It was also a Chaim Bloom draft. Maybe Craig Breslow sees a 6'6" guy in the 7th round and takes him?
