Red Sox Draft Preview, part 6 of 7: Day One Mock Draft
In part six of our Red Sox Draft Preview, we bring you a Day One mock draft, courtesy of SoxProspects Forum senior moderator amfox1. Like most years, something to keep an eye on is whether the small market teams at the top of the draft go for the top-tier signability risks or if they opt for the next-tier talent that can be had for slot money. In particular, keep an eye on whether highly-regarded LHP Jed Bradley slips to Boston, who would likely scoop him up if he's available at #19. In tomorrow's installment, I will cover a cross section of the players who Boston may be targeting with the club's four picks on Day One.
