The Boston Red Sox Draft History

[Darnell's Son]

With one day to go before the draft, Marbleheader looked back at all of Boston's drafts to see how the team has done throughout the draft.

That is a terrific read, Scott. I was just thinking about Neighborgall the other day.

Scott, great piece. And thanks for the shout-out.

Wow, that 7th round in the '76 draft...Boggs, Ozzie Smith and Willie McGee.

 

[Cumberland Blues]

Wow, that 7th round in the '76 draft... and Willie McGee.

But where would he play?

Nice take on the 2011 draft here by the worldwide leader.

(snippet)
..... For those reasons, conventional wisdom within the industry is that a team can generally claim to have drafted well if it unearths four major leaguers, two of whom are impact players.

What, then, do you call a draft that yields four every-day players, including emerging superstar Mookie Betts in the fifth round, and three pitchers who have contributed to varying degrees over the past year? ......

Great piece - another fun read from the .com

Thanks for the link ... I still remember the Sox letting go of Fisk and Lynn ... I think I still have the marks on my head from slamming it on the table as I read about them leaving.

This, and the excellent Boras pieces, are great links for general consumption that give real people who follow the Red Sox (not us loosers) something tangible to read in a world of hot takes and conflict stories. Well done, team.
