Built in the style of List of Philadelphia Phillies first-round draft picks (a FL) and List of New York Mets first-round draft picks (a soon-to-be FL), I think this big sucker is ready (that was a LOT of compensation/supplementary pick notes). Staxringold talkcontribs 22:22, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Good enough to break my boycott of this process. Durova391 02:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
"They have also drafted two players from outside the United States". Nothing is wrong if you only look at this sentence, but the last mention of the team name is singular ("The team"), so the tenses are off. Perhaps starting it with "The Red Sox" would be preferable?
Comma after "in his second major league start". By the way, was Buchholz on the postseason roster in 2007? If so, that's three draft picks who won the World Series with the Sox.
- I checked and checked. He definitely didn't appear (as shown in the B-Ref page) and I've found nothing saying he was on the roster. Staxringold talkcontribs 00:25, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Remove comma after Jimmy Hack (1970).Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Support – Can't believe it, but it finally happened: I'm supporting a Red Sox-related article. (Insert confused face here :-) Meets all the standards. Giants2008 (27 and counting) 23:34, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comments from KV5
What's JC? I know; will others?
And that's really it. Great job! KV5 (Talk • Phils) 00:47, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Fixed, thanks! Staxringold talkcontribs 01:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Heartily support this list for promotion. KV5 (Talk • Phils) 01:25, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Two things I saw: I've added accents for one player, and, as asked in the edit summary, please check for this throughout (I did it in the LAD list). Also, states are linked at random points in the table: I saw 1969, 1977, and 2007. Mm40 (talk) 14:40, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delinked states (whoever fixed the city-state templates that didn't work linked the states) but I left Alberta and Puerto Rico linked. No more accents I see. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:09, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I count seven players from Texas and five from SC
- Right you are on the Texas count, corrected. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Upon the first year in parenthesis, you may want to put "drafted in" before the year, to clear up any confusion. At least when listing awards won, it may give the impression that, for instance, Rice won the MVP in 1971.
Catchers definitely doesn't go where we want it to.
- Heh, fixed. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I count 15 supplemental picks
- 16, actually, but the lead was still wrong. Fixed.
Bryan Price isn't the right Bryan Price (2008)
- Don't know what to do here, since even Bryan Pryce (baseball) goes there. I'll delink it for now. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:58, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Accent for Manati (2009 pick location)
Link "Rookie of the Year Award" in Garciaparra's caption (CY Young is linked in Clemens')
I guess Fossum and Murphy are really boring, huh (captions)?
- Yeah. I tried to liven up captions where possible, but sometimes there's not much to say. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The titles of Refs 3 and 12 don't match the title of the link
- Fixed, dunno what happened there. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can differentiate the titles of references 15 and 16 by adding ":Draft Report: 1970s" and ":Draft Report: 1980s" after the current titles. Mm40 (talk) 16:15, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can put references 3 and 12 directly after the sentence they reference.
- They already do. They cite the general statement, and then V goes into detail about what "particularly valuable" means. Staxringold talkcontribs 16:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Sorry, I was talking about the first two sentences of the last paragraph. Mm40 (talk) 17:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Those also cite that sentence though, showing they never made the first overall pick (listing both the Red Sox picks and first overall picks). Staxringold talkcontribs 18:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Refs 4 and 5 should have ndashes
- Did you do this? Mm40 (talk) 17:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Whoops, done. Staxringold talkcontribs 18:02, 6 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
