Worcester

Worcester

The pitching is way better.

[moonslav59]

I really want to get excited about Yorkes play but it's such a small sample size after doing nothing to improve his stock for two years.

It's nice to see the big three are all looking great in AA, and all three look like they could be ready to start contributing to the team at some point in 2025.

I want to see more of this Ovis Portes kid, it's always fun to see someone pop. 19 tall righty already up to 98 MPH and misses bats.

Agreed.

Except for Wikelman, many of our top prospects and a few of the farther away ones have done pretty good to great, so far. It seems like there are now more than just 3 to have high hopes on, and the big three have done nothing to lower their stock, so far.

The Big 3
.856 Roman Anthony
.855 Marcelo Mayer
.853 Kyle Teel
(Amazing how they all have almost exactly the same OPS)

The Rising 3
.996 Kristian Campbell (This kid looks for real!)
.929 Jhostynxon Garcia (Maybe the biggest surprise)
.726 Bleis (staying healthy: promoted to A+)

The Welcome Back 3
1.110 Matthew Lugo (was pretty highly rated, once before)
.966 Niko Kavadas (maybe belongs in the Career AAA category)
.754 Nick Yorke (came alive in AAA SSS at 1.246)

The Still Far Away but Looking Good 3
1.063 Johanfran Garcia (SSS due to IL)
1.009 Yoelin Cespedes (Getting attention)
.786 Frankin Arias (FCL)


Have to work on some things/Career AAA 3
.892 Mickey Gaspar
.867 Nick Sogard
.801 Chase Meidroth

The Pitchers:

May Graduate Soon/Recent Graduate 3 (OPS Against)
.553 at MLB level Justin Slaten
.288 Zach Kelly (.539 in MLB in 84 PAs Against)
.374 Cam Booser (.667 in MLB w 101 PAs Against)

The Near MLB Ready 3
.671 Richard Fitts
.710 Luis Guerrero
.536 Bailey Horn

The Surprising 4
.593 Zach Penrod
.631 Perales (promoted to AA, but on IL)
.642 Hunter Dobbins (AA)
.695 Hayden Mullins (A+)

The Far Away 3

Not So Sure About 8

.551 Blake Wehunt (promoted to A+)
.572 Helcris Olivarez (AA)
.582 Danny Kirwin (A-)
.600 Jojo Ingrassia (A-)

Jhostynxon has 5 HR's in 11 G's since being called up to GRE. He's been tearing the cover off the ball all season long.

Isn't Greenville supposed to be the killer of all homeruns???

That’s Salem.

[mvp 78]

Drohan cleared waivers and is back with Red Sox.

[Larry Cook]

That’s Salem.

Is Salem still considered a terrible minor league facility???

Getting the 2020 draft band back together again???

[mvp 78]

Getting the 2020 draft band back together again???

Yorke - AAA
Blaze - AA
Wu Yellend - A+
Drohan - AAA inactive

[mvp 78]

Is Salem still considered a terrible minor league facility???

Oh yeah. That's in large part why they were flipped from High A to A a few seasons ago. Greenville is a much nicer facility. Salem is death for hitters and a bad facility overall from what I've heard.

Unfortunately, Sox sold the Salem Red Sox this offseason to Diamond Baseball Holdings. I'm not sure if they have control to move the team now or put pressure on them to make the facilities nicer.

[moonslav59]

The 2020 draft has gotten a lot of criticism, over the year, but without the Anthony pick at #79, the '22 draft was looking pretty sketchy. Not sure a few days makes much of a difference, but Cutter Coffey has exploded.

Romero has not done much to redeem himself, but has looked a little better.

Other, later picks have done well, but none look destined to rock MLB.

129. Meidroth

99. Dalton Rogers

159. Noah Dean

189. Alex Hoppe

Best hope from the later may be #369 Hayden Mullins
