2012 Red Sox Season Thread

[SDL]

Interesting to see that the Phillies let go three coaches after their season finale yesterday, one of them being bench coach Pete Mackanin, who Cherington interviewed last year for the managerial gig. Word is that Ryne Sandberg may move up to replace Mackanin with him eventually succeeding Manuel in the Phillie dugout.

I know Samdberg was mentioned as a potential candidate last year but Cherington never talked to him. If we don't do the right thing and bring Tito back, I would look at Mackanin or Sandberg.

Well, that was it. 2012 is over and there are more questions coming out of it than there were going into it. One thing we know is that the Red Sox will have the no. 7 pick in next year's draft. 20 years ago (1993) the Red Sox had the no. 7 pick and selected a HS OFer by the name of Trot Nixon.

A bunch of other no 7 picks over the last years:
2012 Padres: Max Fried
2011 Diamondbacks: Archie Bradley
2010 Mets: Matt Harvey
2009 Braves: Mike Minor
2008 Reds: Yonder Alonso
2007 Brewers: Matt LaPorta
2006 Dodgers: Clayton Kershaw
2005 Rockies: Troy Tulowitzki
2004 Reds: Homer Bailey
2003 Orioles: Nick Markakis
2002 Brewers: Prince Fielder

Yup, getting a high draft pick is probably the only positive thing about 2012 for the Sox, hopefully were able to draft a good player that will help in rebuilding the team.
