The Sox need pitching depth, but I have a feeling all the impact college guys will be off the board (Lacy, Hancock, Meyers, Detmers) by 11. I also think that all 3 top HS pitchers will be available. I like Jared Kelley the best of the three but wouldn’t be mad about Abel or Bitsko either. Hopefully this is the last time we draft in the top 20 for a while. I would rather take a chance on a high ceiling guy than settle for a guy like Bailey, who is a nice player and safe pick, but kind of uninspiring. Just my two cents.
