It will be a small tragedy if the Red Sox remain unable or unwilling to sign Jason Groome. Their first round pick, taken in the 12 slot right out of High school, is just the answer to the organizational need.
Groome was touted by some as the top overall talent, and by many as the best pitching prospect leading up to the draft. Then, on draft night Groome began to slip, and fall he did all the way down until landing in Boston’s lap. An answer to Red Sox Nation’s prayers. But, it hasn’t quite been the fairy tale we started to expect on that night, as the marriage between the Red Sox and Groome has been put on ice, holding off their ride into the sunset.
