If they could sign Northcut, that's basically another 3rd round pick.

The Sox need to sign a few high school players or another tough sign in case Northcut doesn't sign. Feel free to pick the other lottery pick. Off to go fishing! Go Sox!

A solid catching pick would be Jacob Campbell. Tough, smart kid who loves baseball. If we sign him I know his family.

27: Red Sox take Gregorio Reyes, LHP - must be home schooled.

29: Red Sox take Mason Ronan, LHP from Penn Cambria HS.
Ranked #308 by BA and #221 by PG. He's a Pitt commit.
BA write-up:
Notes: School: Penn Cambria HS, Cresson, Pa. Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 190 | B-T: L-L | Commit/Drafted: Pittsburgh Scouting Report: A 6-foot-2, 190-pound athletic lefthander, Ronan has an easy delivery and has pitched in the 88-92 mph range at times with a sharp, 1-to-7 mid 70s curveball with plus depth. He gets good plane on his fastball and has shown a changeup at times, but the pitch needs work. He has some present control issues and walked a number of batters at East Coast Pro and the Area Code Games last summer, and a stabbing action in the back of his delivery could be part of that. Ronan has intriguing elements with a potential plus breaking ball and average fastball, but his stuff has been in the mid 80s this spring rather than the 90 mph range over the summer in shorter outings.

30: Red Sox take Ryan Bliss, SS from Troup County HS (GA).
#450 by BA and #432 by PG.
BA write-up:
Notes: School: Troup County HS, LaGrange, Ga. Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 165 | B-T: R-R | Commit/Drafted: Auburn Scouting Report: A small, righthanded hitting shortstop, Bliss has terrific hands and impressive footwork that gives him a chance to be an above-average up-the-middle defender, though his arm strength might be best suited for second base at the next level. He’s also an above-average runner. At the plate, Bliss has a simple and compact swing and shows good natural rhythm and timing, though his size might prevent him from having significant impact or power potential. Committed to Auburn, Bliss could follow in the path of many other small college players who improved their draft stock significantly by performing on both sides of the ball in a Power 5 conference.

baseball is so different from the other sports when it comes to the draft. It seems like if you play D1 baseball and you DON'T get drafted, you must have really sucked, cuz EVERYBODY gets drafted. Anyone have any theories on why baseball seems to be even more of a crap-shoot when it comes to the draft than the other major sports?

Baseball is the only sport where you're allowed to take players straight out of high school, so that plays a big part in it. Not to mention the 16 year old latin american players that teams are allowed to sign in July (not a draft thing, but still noteworthy when it comes to selecting players and the crapshoot issue).

While I feel like the Red Sox had a fetish with young middle infielders in the draft, (now they seem to be salivating over things like exit velocity and players they think dropped because of height) it seems like the Yankees are trying to draft every notable catcher. Their 2 top picks are catchers and 4 of the 5 players that mlb.com has any sort of video on are catchers.

Looks like he closed some games for the Sooners. 7 saves in 20 appearances, 1.47 ERA and 23 K in 18.1 innings.

To me it is just proof that baseball is harder than the other sports. It is rare that even good college players can have immediate success inMLB (think Benny) and rarer still for High School graduates to come in without a lot of minor league experience (even Devers, while quite young, spent a few years in the minors). In Basketball every year there a number of One-and-Done types that play significant minutes in the NBA. While it's less common in the NHL they still have a greater percentage of 19-21 yearolds playing there than in MLB. Football is different in that you can't play until you've had 3 years of college and that is just due to the physical maturity issue, not the skill issue (except QB)

Anyone have any theories on why baseball seems to be even more of a crap-shoot when it comes to the draft than the other major sports? I reckon it's because baseball requires such fine-tuned skills - immaculate hand-eye coordination, body control, unconscious judgment attained through habitual practice - whereas you can get pretty far in other sports through sheer speed, strength, and overall athleticism. So on one hand, not many baseball players are ready for the highest level of competition even when they've completed college; and on the other hand, it's a little hard to know who will ultimately succeed in the game, so it makes sense to give a shot to a whole bunch of guys.
