I’ll be honest – I don’t generally spend a lot of time thinking about the MLB Draft.
It’s the nature of the sport, really – whereas top NFL and NBA picks become immediate contributors to the team that selects them, baseball players often spend years in the minor leagues before reaching the point where they can make an impact.
However, by moving the draft to the All-Star break, it gives those of us who might not otherwise engage a chance to take a closer look at the moves being made by our favorite team or teams.
And so, I thought I’d take a few minutes to introduce you – and myself – to the top 10 picks of the Boston Red Sox in the 2021 MLB Draft.
