Thursday, the first day of the baseball draft, is likely to be an exciting one for Red Sox bench coach Brad Mills and his family.
Mills' son, Beau, is expected to be a first-round pick, projected to go anywhere from the fourth to the 26th pick, according to scouting bureaus.
Beau Mills, a third baseman, hit .458 with 38 home runs, helping Lewis-Clark State College in lewiston, Idaho, to the NAIA championship. Beau, a Tom Brady look-alike, spent almost two years starring at Fresno State before academic issues knocked him off the team and ultimately to Lewis-Clark, after a suggestion from former Sox pitcher Keith Foulke, who had pitched for the school.
The Sox had made a courtesy pick of Beau in the 44th round of the 2004 draft when he was coming out of high school. He elected not to sign, opting to go to Fresno State instead.
