Notable DD draftees:
2016:
Dalbec
Jay Grrome
Chatham
Shawaryn
Not bad considering where we were slotted (12th, 51, 88, 118, 148).
2017:
Houck 24
Brannen 63
Scherff 161
Not so good but bad slots
2018
Casas 26
Decker 64
Feltman 100
Ward 160
Granberg 190
J Duran 220
Actually, apparently a very good draft considering the slots.
When you say it's gonna happen now
When exactly do you mean?
Donaldson's dad was in prison well before he was picked. Also, Josh was the 48th pick in the draft. Groome's dad got charged immediately after the draft and Groome was the 12th pick in the draft. The combination of timing and draft spot would have had the sox pass if they knew his dad was actively doing illegal activity in the home right up and through the draft.
Hal sucks

Either try Mejia in MLB or release him. Otherwise, what good is DD’s big off-season bullpen addition doing?
His 7.00 ERA isn’t supported well by his 4.22 FIP. And most of the damage has only come in a small number of outings for him.
But most important - he’s already here and they don’t have to give up anything to give him a try. And that is VERY important since Dombrowski doesn’t appear to want to add anyone to this bullpen from the outside. So we keep seeing Josh Smith/Josh Taylor/Ryan Weber/Marcus Walden types out there in key situations in the middle innings. How many more times should that happen? Is that the preferred solution - to keep floating in the sinking ship with the only course of action being to hope it stops sinking?
