Sox make Mills 8th rounder
With their eighth round pick the Red Sox selected UNC Charlotte RHP Adam Mills, #264 overall. Mills's arsenal features four pitches including a fastball an 86-89 MPH fastball with late movement and can reach back to touch 92 MPH. He also throws an average slider, curve and change up with good command, the last of which some speculate may become his best pitch as a pro. Mills been compared to Indians RHP Paul Byrd. He allowed only one HR in 2007.
