Tolbert went into the portal and committed to Troy University He barely played at Mississippi the last two years, and graduated high school in 2021. A transfer makes sense.

Tolbert Has eligibility left bc he's xferring to Troy. He's also pitching for Keonsha in the NW league, and a lot too, over 30innings, and has 44Ks, guessing he had TJ bc only 4 IP for Ole MIss this year, and none in '23

At 567, the Red Sox select D'Angelo Ortiz - David's son.
He's a 3B from Miami Dade CC Kendall.

He’s a junior. The draft tracker is wrong.

Back in the old unlimited rounds days they happened more frequently and later. Mike Piazza. Yeah. Drafted Yaz's grandkid. Didn't they draft the then sox amateur director's kid once and maybe amaro's kid as well 1 year? Then it was like rewarding/badge of honor thing. nothing wrong with it. 40 rounds, 50 at 1 time. edit: Funniest of all was Haywood Sullivan drafting his own kid (Marc) in the 1st round when he owned the team.. That was like.. 1979, 1980 and my2c was he wasn't even very good. Had a decent eyes on his year at W/haven. probably never made mlb had his dad not owned the team.. Another story sometime. That was 1979. Marc Sullivan was actually a second round pick, but the first Red Sox pick that year because they lost their first rounder to the A's as compensation. The worst ever was 1988 when they used their first round pick (12th overall) on Tom Fischer, a mediocre pitcher from University of Wisconsin, because his uncle was the Red Sox pitching coach. Two picks later the Mariners took Tino Martinez.

I love this class!
-BPA @ 12 and potentially a major steal
-A massive pool of college arms to evaluate Breslow & Co. over time
-A glove-first catcher to accompany the new arms in the lower levels
-A fascinating 2-way HS talent
-A possible OF w/ upside & a possible RHH 4th OF
-Ortiz son, who we have watched grow up over the years <3
I am quite satisfied with this group. I can't wait to see how competent Breslow & Co. truly are on the pitching development side of things. Time will tell.

With their final pick of the 2024 draft, at 597 the Red Sox select Ben Hansen, RHP, BYU.

Hansen had a big jump from the fall where he was low 90s. Soph eligible, so sign ability question, but looks like a strong helium bet based on Vermont's video

A few days ago (look it up) I suggested that Breslow take 14 pitchers. Some of you hammered me for that. They took 14. Eat my shorts.

I remember you stating the Sox shouldn’t take another HS SS because they’re all weak hitting speed guys. Everyone was on board with more pitching, just most of us didn’t want to draft for need and were ok with a position player first round.

Like all of them? Everyone wanted about 12 SS's and cited all the great players who were drafted as SS's. I said that we lacked pitchers, we had enough good MI's throughout the system. I picked the number 14 on a whim. Might have to play the lottery.

Two picks later the Mariners took Tino Martinez. Well.. I could say Otis Foster (high point u, 1975) 1st rd. I've quoted Ex sox manager numerous times berating him during ST when he "had" him on the old bristol AA team.. Think joe really had it in for Otis.. i liked Otis the year he played in WH, big, strong dude, but along the mold of Jack Baker, Jim rice, Dave Koza types Boston would draft then who were 1 dimension.. swing for the fence
