“The (mistakes) that really gnaw at me and I still wake up thinking about are the ones in the draft. Where you had a scout or multiple scouts in the room telling you, ‘This is the guy.’ You know, ‘We should take Chris Sale.’ We should have.”
-- Jerry DiPoto
At the time Sale was drafted in 2010, DiPoto was working for us as VP of scouting and player development. We had the sixth overall pick, but opted for Barret Loux, only to not sign him due to health concerns.
