[QUOTE="FT35, post: 1315966, member: 10675"] That was really entertaining. Law makes some good points. If this is a mid-first round talent then the Sox overpaid. We could have picked up someone like Jordan Adell at #11 in the draft in a few weeks and got a similar boom or bust OF talent. That being said, obviously other people (like Mayo) are saying he would've been a #1 pick in the draft, which is quite different from a mid-first round pick. Obviously the Sox think he's comparable to a #1 pick otherwise they wouldn't have invested this kind of money in him. There are guys who have been picked at #1 or #2 who have been busts, however, so we'll see how he does against Single A pitching. [/QUOTE]
