I'm loving that the draft is going so that teams don't shy away from signability guys. Good for the CBA compensation process, allows Pittsburgh to try to get talent, and if not, they get a second next year. Good one. It was also pretty funny with the dead silence after the guy announced the Rays picking 81st and hearing someone from the Red Sox announcing the Jerez pick. Poorest spending of $3 million that I have ever seen.-fcastig 0220

If you want a player and you don't think he'll be there for the taking the next time you pick, you need to take him with that pick. Draft 101 for any sport. It is in the only draft system where you can't trade picks.

How can it be part of the Red Sox Draft philosophy to play defense against the Yankees or any other team? Honest question there. Aren't they drafting the players they think have the best chance to advance through the system with some signability concerns thrown in? I'm not sure I understand what you're talking about. If you want a player and you don't think he'll be there for the taking the next time you pick, you need to take him with that pick. Draft 101 for any sport. I think he means that, all else equal, either the kid is the best player on the board or he isn't. You don't leave a better player on the board to take someone who the Yankees or any other team likes instead. At least that is the way it works in any other sport. Baseball is a bit different because of signability, etc.

Derek Fisher, OF -- Cedar Crest HS - looking for 1st round money, Virginia commitment 2. Matt Purke, LHP -- TCU - wants top 10 money, draft-eligible sophomore, given the arm/shoulder issues, he likely returns to TCU 3. Nick Delmonico, C/3B -- Farragut HS - looking for supp money, Georgia commitment Injury issues: 1. Josh Stilson, RHP -- Texas A&M - SLAP injury 2. Kyle Winkler, RHP -- TCU - elbow issue in last start 3. Josh Osich, LHP -- Oregon State - fell because of elbow tightness in his last start, top 30 talent The rest of the board: 1. Dillon Maples, RHP -- Pinecrest HS - plus stuff but may project as a reliever, North Carolina commitment 2. Tony Zych, RHP -- Louisville - top reliever 3. Johnny Eierman, SS/OF -- Warsaw HS - speed, defense and a hit tool 4. Matt Dean, 3B -- The Colony HS - solid HS bat 5. Ricky Oropesa, 1B/3B -- USC - former Red Sox draftee 6. Senquez Golson, OF -- Pensagoula HS - tools galore 7. Aaron Westlake, 1B -- Vanderbilt

I don't think you can draw that conclusion. This is a continuation of a trend we've seen over the past two years. Signability guys are going earlier and earlier.
