Indeed. He's the most likely to be selected via Rule 5 in my opinion.

Nice hire, now all they have to do is give him some cash and scouts to work with.

With the new CBA, Int'l signings will be more structured as well, so it will be more about scouting than anything.

Jhonny Nunez signs with the Rays. The remnants of the awful Swisher 2 trade are now gone.

Amazing that in the two trades involving Swisher the Sox have NOTHING to show from it. Well we did get one crappy year of Swisher.

Just 12 picks ... Terry Doyle is a classic #Twins guy, command and control guy who threw 200 innings this year including Arizona Fall League

UGH! I hate when the Twins pick-up Sox players, like this. No doubt he'll shut the Sox down for the next few years.

Did the Sox use all their roster spots to protect against Rule 5 picking?

Nope. I think they had 4 spots open.

Right, I think they left those spots open in the event that we acquire a few prospects. Obviously, that hasn't exactly happened as anticipated.

Yes. Best college arm in '10 draft. RT @Hard_8: @Kevin_Goldstein do you envision success for the starting pitcher version of Chris Sale?

Definitely one thing to look forward to this year.

Dirty, how do they decide the order of picks in the supplemental round. Obviously A's go first...but I see Barmes, Harang, Doumit, etc. are getting higher picks that Burls. Is it simply order in which they sign? Seems silly to me. Still find it hard to believe Burls wasn't a type A.

Also, thinks for keeping us up to date on this stuff.

It used to be based on the Elias ranking. Highest ranking gets the highest pick, and so forth. I believe that's still the case until next season when the full CBA changes are in effect.
