No argument - it's obviously way too early to be guessing who the Sox will take with the #3 pick in the draft this June. Too many variables to lock in on any particular player. There are still FAs out there, trades could happen, cuts and signings could happen, yada yada. And who knows which prospects are going to shoot up or down the charts once the college and high school seasons roll out.
But as of today, based on limited research, I'm going with two solid possibilities as to who the Sox will select if the draft were held right now:
First choice: Andrew Vaughn, 1B Cal. May be the best all around hitter in the draft and perhaps the top masher. Throw in good plate discipline with a nice BB-SO ratio along with strong defense, he seems like a great first choice. Some might claim the one drawback is he only plays 1B, even tho he plays it well.
Second choice: Josh Jung, 3b Texas Tech. Assuming Vaughn is off the board, Jung is more than an adequate Plan B. A bit more overall balance to his game than Vaughn. He too is somewhat limited as to where he can play, but it appears he could handle either INF hot corner spot.
