The Red Sox should draft the best player possible.

Ryan Jackson, Aaron Crow is gonna be playing in the independent league and was a top ten pick this year, and Dayan Viciedo. Im not sure if they ever sorted out
whether Dayan was gonna be a IFA or had to be drafted. Thats who im looking at for 2009.

LHP Matt Purke looked good in his inning of work. Tyler Matzek, the top left-hander in the 2009 class, is on the hill now.
Edit: Already 4 runs scored on Matzek. The defense is not helping him.

hasn't looked that good behind the plate.

Donovan Tate (top 10 pick in 2009) and Braxton Lane committ to a baseball-only future (they were both two sport stars). Tate specifically could have gone just
about anywhere on a football scholly. They must have gotten a whiff of the first round bonuses from this year.
Cartersville running back Donovan Tate and Sandy Creek wide receiver Braxton Lane, both original members of the AJC's Super Southern 100 and The Georgia 150, will focus on baseball instead.AJC link |

This is why I joined this forum several months ago. I love this stuff. We just finished the signing deadline for 2008 and we are already talking about next
June. Great stuff here. Makes me wonder how many (if any) fan bases of any other MLB teams are this wonderfully insane about their team. SP is a godsend.

Here are the football recruiting details about Tate and Lane: http://footballrecruiting...asp?sport=1&pr_key=71440, if you have the
membership there is an article that talks about how Tate is considering going to UM, who was number one most of this year in baseball, and be a two sport
athlete in football and baseball. http://footballrecruiting...asp?pr_key=67952&Sport=1, thats Lanes
recruiting details.

Tate must be really good on a football field because he won't play football his all of his senior year to focus on baseball and is still being recruited by
all the heavy weights.

The dumbass drinking the raw eggs would be your top prep arm in the 2009 Draft, Mr. Matthew Purke.
