After making a surprise pick in the first round of Nick Yorke, a selection that everyone expected to be an under slot pick to allow them to have more money to spend on Day Two, all eyes were on the Red Sox for Thursday’s portion of the draft. They had three selections here in the third, fourth and fifth rounds, and they ended up selecting Blaze Jordan, Jeremy Wu-Yelland and Shane Drohan. We talked briefly about them last night, but let’s take a deeper look at these guys after a little more time to examine them as players.
