Law had him 16th- not far from SP.

I was wondering why, too.
I want to know why would Uberstine drop, when 4-5 guys left the list above him?

This is a good point, and would explain a lot.
SP has Jimenez at 39, he actually rose from 44 recently but that's probably mostly due to people above him being traded or graduating. I think the fluidity between 40 and 60 is a lot larger than 20 and 40. Jimenez is about 1/2 a season away from not even being ranked, unless he really takes a step forward this year.
He was #18, last spring on SP.
They had him 9th on NOV 2021.

I listened to the SP podcast. http://news.soxprospects.com/2023/02...alk-about.html
They spoke of how the farm people are basically the same people as under DD. They spoke of Bloom's trades and felt like we should not have expected great returns on guys like Moreland, Vaz and other, and that the Betts trade was severely hampered by including Price. (Downs missing "hurts a lot.") The Beni trade was more about quantity than quality- called in "underwhelming." They seem to feel Bloom has done okay with trades, overall.
On Ryan Fernandez moving up: they reacted to feedback they heard on Rule 5 possibilities.
On RHern dropping- passing through waivers showed he has very little ML value.
They spoke of Goodrum is needed for middle IF depth. Hamilton is not ready. They wondered if Mondesi is only going to miss a few games, maybe they roll with Hamilton or have Wong get reps at 2B. Valdez will get a lot of playing time in ST, but he needs to earn a slot.
They say if Mondesi is ready maybe Tapia or Greg Allen will be added to the 40.
Dalbec makes no sense on the 26 with healthy Casas and Turner, and no real need for RH'd PH.
They wondered about how much the WBC will affect ST'ing and minor league slots. Many of our players are playing in it. Many players will join ST halfway through.

Maybe he needs to go to Hollywood, where it is enough…More proof that a great name alone isn't enough.
Parsing out who are Bloom's guys and who are DD's guys doesn't make sense as the vast majority of the players aren't scouted by the CBO prior to entering the system. It's really the BOS system that we can track: the moves that were made and the players that eventually made it to BOS that matter.
Part of the Fernandez ranking, I believe, was that they were told there's a chance that he could impact this year's BOS bullpen.
Yup. On Hernandez, they spoke of how they learned more about him when talking Rule chances.

Zeferjahn has the tools to be a really solid MLB relief arm, but just has never put it together. Had more hopes for him in '22.
Probably the catcher is the only one in this group with a chance to see the bigs.

Mediocre relievers all have the better shot of making the bigs for a cup.
True, but I think McElveny has more upside.
