Christian Vazquez selected in 9th round
In the ninth round the Red Sox took yet another catcher this time in Christian Vazquez out of the Puerto Rican Baseball Academy High School. The 5 foot 9 catcher has a strong build in the Molina like mold but is said to retain very good quickness behind the plate. He has strong defensive skills as well as a plus arm. His offense is not as advanced as his defense but he has the potential to flash some power and solid bat speed on occasion. Should Vazquez sign he will begin 2008 with the GCL Red Sox.
