Red Sox scouting power hitters
Two power hitters the Red Sox are scouting heavily for this year's draft: Matt Marquis, a center fielder from Immaculata High School in Somerville, N.J., who has a scholarship to Vanderbilt, and third baseman Ricky Oropesa from Etiwanda High in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. Oropesa, 6 feet 2 inches, 215 pounds, has good lefthanded power (and is also a righthanded power pitcher) while Marquis, close to the same size, has power from the right side. Oropesa hit .547 with 10 homers and 46 RBIs as a junior.

Well we all know that these kids eventually get their shot and most like.....fail. All of MLB is on juice. hopefully theses kids can come in clean and remain clean, but......that is like asking the next president to ge the job done. It ain't gonna happen. You want home runs, power, slugging....then you have to have the juice. Kids playing against kids then they come into the real world and face the pro pitchers.....the kids fail.

I'll give you credit for spelling obnoxious correctly, though I'm sure you used a dictionary or spellcheck. Otherwise, you show both your blatant stupidity and beloved ignorance of people with your diarrhea of the mouth (or, in this case, keyboard).
Who exactly is your team? The Tigers? Yeah, they're awesome. Detroit contributes a lot to the U.S.

lazyautoworker, you are a typical Yankees fan. The Sox have won two World Series since the Yankees won their last title, and it &^%$ing kills you. You can't come up with something more creative than "Red Sox suck."?
Try this one - Yankees fans are like a septic tank... both are full of crap and smell bad. Or this one - lazyautoworker, you're so stupid, you'd have to study just to be considered retarded.
