    I'd go with a HS pitcher at 36, and then Bell at 40 if he's there.

    I'm also not a Bruins or Celtics fan, so that's why I'm here.

    Tim Hudson 6 1, 174
  4. italstallianion
    I thought they compared Gray to Tim Hudson.

    That would continue the theme of teams making predatory picks right before we pick.

    I disagree on your Swihart analysis, but I'm right with you on Gray. I'm about as pissed off about Gray going right before us at 18 as I am pissed about Guerreri going to the Rays 2 picks before us at 24. Swihart looked like the best offensive catcher by far, with a bat that's good enough to be a 3B or OF and still be a worthwhile pick. I'm also not sure if he would be available at 36 or 40, since there's much less catcher competition than there is OF competition for Bell. Not to mention that Swihart's signability issues aren't as strong as Bell's are, so I would see Swihart going off the board before Bell if the Sox didn't take Swihart at 26.

    The Sox take Blake Swihart. I figure that we'd get him, but I thought that we'd take him in the sandwich round. Oh well, I'm happy with a Barnes/Swihart combo, who were ranked at #10 and #19 going into the draft and taken at #19 and #26. Still some room for good picks in the sandwich round too.

    The Bruins game might take away from some of it.
  10. italstallianion
    DAMN IT AGAIN!!!! The Rays with the predatory pick taking Taylor Guerreri 2 spots before the Sox pick again. GRRR!!!
  11. italstallianion
    Wow. The Blue Jays take Tyler Beede who I thought was a sure pick for the Sox. I think it's quite a bit of a reach for the Blue Jays, but it seems like a pick to stick it to Boston. That said, while the Sox can't get Beede, it means that another good player will be available when the Sox pick at 26. Sources were projecting Beede to the Sox in the sandwich rounds, so if the Sox get a great player at 26 then I'll take it.

    Red Sox take Uconn RHP Matt Barnes. It's a good pick, but I really wanted Sonny Gray. That said I'm a huge Red Sox fan and a huge Uconn fan so this works out for me. Plus we should still get a really good player at 26 too.
  13. italstallianion
    GOD DAMN IT!!!!!! Sonny Gray was the player I wanted the most of who was available. f***!!!
  14. italstallianion
    I just hope that the Sox don't surprise me, like they usually do. Vitek surprised me, Brentz surprised me, Fuentes surprised me, even Kelly surprised me a bit. I think they HAVE to take one of those pitchers at 19 though.
  15. italstallianion
    With 2 picks left before we're up, we should be able to get a high profile player. I just hope we go for the homerun instead of going with a safe pick hoping that one will continue to drop to us later. Hopefully we take one of Meyer/Barnes/Guerreri/Gray. I'd prefer Sonny Gray the most of the 4.
  16. italstallianion
    Damn it, looks like Nimmo is going to the Mets. There goes my predictions.
  17. italstallianion
    I wonder if the Astros are taking an OF. I'd imagine that George Springer (Uconn) would have to be the best available, well outside of Bell who has the signability concerns.
  18. italstallianion
    Another reach pick (Spangenberg I think) coming up for the Padres, I had mentioned it earlier in this thread.
  19. italstallianion
    I think the Cubs might have the first reach (albeit not too bad of one) of the draft thus far.
  20. italstallianion
    I didn't think they'd have the balls to do it, since they weren't able to sign their first rounder last year.
  21. italstallianion
    Bauer and Bradley in the same draft is pretty epic for Arizona. That'll cost quite a bit to sign them both though.
  22. italstallianion
    You can go to http://www.mlb.com/live to watch the draft as it unfolds.
  23. italstallianion
    I think I'd end up with either the Giants or the Padres. I didn't really know how to answer the "What's in the thermos" question.

    I'm hearing that Swihart, one of the catchers that we're connected to, is getting some chat towards the top/middle of the first round, which might mean that he gets taken before we pick, but also might mean that a higher pick might drop to us. Either way, time better hurry up, I feel like Eric Cartman waiting for the Nintendo Wii to come out.
