Red Sox predicted to take another middle infielder in recent MLB mock draft
Chaim Bloom has taken a middle infielder with his first round pick in the last three drafts.Two mock drafts published Thursday have the Red Sox taking Maryland shortstop Matt Shaw with the No. 14 pick in July’s MLB Draft.
Both Baseball America and MLB.com predict that Chaim Bloom will take the reigning Cape Cod League MVP who played his high school ball at Worcester Academy.
The selection would fit in with Bloom’s trend of taking middle infielders in the first round of the draft.
Since he took over the position of Chief Baseball Officer for the Red Sox, Bloom has taken two shortstops and one second baseman with his first rounders.
