The Red Sox got a steal with Teel who fell to them at the 14th overall pick in last season’s draft when they selected him out of the University of Virginia. He finished his college career playing in 177 games with a slash line of .343/.433/.547 with a .979 OPS; he had 48 doubles, four triples, 28 home runs, 155 RBI, 170 runs scored, 13 stolen bases, and 97 walks.
