The 2008 MLB june's draft is a month away, you can read more about in 2008 June's draft thread in Amateur section.
As per the Red Sox and the 2008 draft even before they lost top pitching prospects like Nick Hagadone and Austin Bailey to injuries this year and Caleb Clay and Antony Alvarado in 2007 my opinion was that they where going to go after pitching early and often in 2008, perhaps after left handed pitching. As the draft its shaping up H.S pitching specially RHP is the strength of the draft, however the RED SOX brass philosophy so far hasn't been to draft a H.S. right handed in the first round and as per I see the Sox selection not with standing any players droping to their lap because of signability issues would be a LHP, it could be Christian Friedrich from Eastern Kentucky or UCLA's Tim Murphy. i also like San Diego University LHP Josh Romanski, but i believe that will be a reach. From the H.S. ranks the name called could be Kentucky's Nick Maronde or Floridian Brett De Vall also both LHP.
