Sox sign draft picks Ramos and Dahlstrand
According to Peter Abraham of Boston.com, the Red Sox have signed two more 2010 draft picks, outfielder Henry Ramos and pitcher Jacob Dahlstrand.
Ramos, a fifth-round draft choice, was picked out of Alfonso Martinez Casta High School in Puerto Rico. The 18-year-old switch hitter has an extremely high power ceiling, but is also extremely raw. He has only been playing organized baseball for about a year - his background is in soccer - but the Red Sox hope his overall athleticism will translate into success on the diamond.
Dahlstrand, also taken out of high school, was the Red Sox tenth-round pick. The right hander had previously committed to the University of Houston but will forgo his scholarship and join the Red Sox organization. The 18-year-old is listed at 6'5", 205 pounds and utilizes a sinker as his primary pitch.
