MLB EXPANSION DRAFTNovember 18, 1997Bob WatsonPHOENIX, ARIZONA Q. Bob, did you expect to lose Boehringer, leaving him out there? BOB WATSON: Well, it was always a possibility. We had to do like everybody else in this whole process, take a real serious look in our organization and we wanted to protect some younger people. Brian has a very, very good arm. He's, I think, found his niche as a middle reliever, but also has the capability of starting. He started earlier in his career, so I think the thing that you really have to take a look at is a very, very good arm, that's left out there, and I think the way pitching is today, they're stocking up on pitchers. Q. Would you talk about Ben Ford, please? BOB WATSON: Another fine young arm. We were kind of surprised that he went in the first round, but not surprised that he was taken. I think the exposure of the Arizona Fall League, if you look at his numbers out here, they're outstanding numbers, and again he's a fine young right arm. Out here he's closing. We probably had him projected as a set‑up guy in the Big Leagues in the not too distant future with the possibility of closing. |
