For those who don't know how the minor league drafts works, each organizations gets to protect 100 players out of their minor league system, every other one is draft elegible, which means any player who gets drafted in the minor league draft isn't a top prospect, however in Apodaca's case he was one of the better players draft elegible which explain why the Sox made the deal with the Reds for them to draft Apodaca for the Sox.
