MOD Red Sox: 2nd & 3rd rd

So we have discussed already the guys that could potentially be available at 24th, 31st and 37th and what we want to do with does picks. Right now my tentative idea for the 24th pick is Chris Stratton with Matt Smoral as the 2nd option. I've gone back and forth between does two but Stratton fits what the Red Sox do specially with their 1st pick in the draft so I'll follow that mold. In the Real draft it seems like Stratton is rising fast so perhaps the Red Sox won't have a chance but in mock drafts college pitchers tend to drop while HS players in general tend to rise. Smoral also has the foot injury so he has not pitched in the spring, its not a long-term problem but it is a red flag when considering the two.

Lets transition to picks 87 & 118.

I just wanted to discuss some deep sleepers that could make it that far and some of the tendencies the Red Sox have. One of them is picking HS player from the northeast as there is a long list of player that fit that mold ex: Ryan Kalish, Ryan Westmoreland, Sean Coyle, Derrik Gibson and Williams Jerez.

Another tendency is two-sport athletes as this list includes Brandon Jacobs, Casey Kelly, Senquez Golson(Didn't sign) and Kendrick Perkins.

The last tendency I want to talk about is college pitchers in the 2nd rd. The list include Brandon Workman, Alex Wilson and Justin Masterson. College pitching is not that deep so perhaps this tendency won't work this year.

You guys can come up with a few names that you could see available in the 2nd and 3rd round but here are a few names I've come up with:

Braden Kline, RHP, Virginia - Has moved from the closer role back to the rotation and while he had his struggles he's had a very good season. He probably doesn't drop to 87th because the college pitching is thin and he has ingredients to be a good big league pitcher but BA ranked him exactly 87th in their top 100.

Kolby Copeland, OF, Parkway HS, La - Two-sport athlete that stands out for his bat speed and physicality. Like many two-sport athletes he's raw and his tools don't translate as well to the diamond as they should.

Jamie Jarmon, OF, Indian River HS, Del - Two sports athlete who also stands out for his bat speed and physicality. He's the best HS prospect from Delaware since Derrik Gibson who the Red Sox drafted.

Dan Langfield, RHP, Memphis - 6-foot Right-hander with excellent stuff and a three pitch-mix. He's fast ball has been up to 97 MHP.. Scouts question his ability to start because of his size so perhaps he drops but he has all the pitches to be a starting pitcher.

Edwin Diaz, RHP, Puerto Rico - He's a thin righty who throws in the mid 90s and has been clocked at 97 MHP He's raw and need work with his delivery and secondary offering. He compares well with Latin American FAs because of his rawness and youth.

Martin Agosta, RHP, St Mary's - Has a low 90s fastball where he can reach back and throw in the mid 90s. Has a cutter and slider as his other two pitches. Has performed very well the last two year at the college level.

Fernelys Sanchez, OF, George Washington HS, NY - He's a 6'4", lanky athlete with projection left who Stands out for his speed, bat-speed and ability to play CF. Similar to Williams Jerez who the Red Sox drafted in the 2nd round. Jerez was generally ranked higher in a stronger draft but the profile is similar.

I'll let you guys add more players to this and your thoughts with the 2nd and 3rd round pick.
