The 2023 draft has teel and Campbell tearing it up right now
We all know Youk was the Greek God of Walks, but does everyone know who the German God of Walks is?
His name starts with an "M" and ends in "roth."

Yorke 1-2 w 2 BB
POR lost.
Mayer 1-4 w BB
Teel 2-3 w 2BB
Campbell 1-5
How about Coffey? He hit another dinger!
JH Garcia did too while going 2-4.
Romero 2-5
SAL won 2-1 as Dean pitched well and Anderson homered.

It also helps that they play teams like 6 games in a row now, makes me wonder if the opposing team just had horrible pitching.
Romero -23
Coffey -35
Anthony - 1
Rogers -47
Meidroth - 11
Dean - 595 OPS, 1.04 WHIP for Salem
Hoppe -41
Brand - recently promoted to POR, GRE: .448 OPS, 0.00 ERA, 0.94 WHIP
Brannon -39
Isaac Coffey - lots of love given to him last year by some posters
Mullins - 32
Ehrlicher -52
Seems like a solid draft to me. If Mikey can stay healthy, it really improves the outlook of the team and Cutter (HS bat) has been mashing lately.
Early, Wehunt and every college pitcher not named Duffy and Weins pitched really well in Salem. Nelly Taylor's stats aren't popping off the page, but MiLB guys really like him.
Riemer has still yet to play an inning and Anderson needs a while to get his game going.
That has to be part of it, but we've had a few hot players going on weeks and weeks long stretches.
I look at our farm, this way: of course nothing is a guarantee. We entered the season viewed as a top 6-12 farm in all of MLB. Some services openly said they dinged our ranking due to an unbalance between pitching and everyday players (more on that later.) Here is my breakdown:
The Big Three
Basically everybody had and still has our big 3 in their top 25-40. I don't think any have taken a step back, in terms of expectations, and to me, all have improved their standing.
The Second Tier
While Yorke took a dip in the last rankings, even he has shown a strong resurgence after being promoted to AAA. Maybe he moves back to top 12 in the system. Players like Bleis stayed healthy and even in the standings, but we have seen some big jumps by Campbell, Cespedes, Lugo, Zanetello, and I suspect JH Garcia to join this group in the next rankings.
The Pitching
Slaten just graduated, but to me, he still counts on the 2024 farm list. He easily met expectations and then some. The injury to Perales may blow up all the gains he made, this season, but nonetheless, he looked great. Fitts has moved up to #7 and Sandlin #9. Both still have big questions about being solid ML pitchers, but they do have skills. The drop to the next tier is pretty wide. There is no sugar coating our lack of bonafide pitching prospects, and I'm never a fan of striving for quantity over quality, but sometimes some longshots work out fine. We have seen a couple, this year, already. We do have many ranked pitchers from #15 to the low 30's:
15. Wikelman (trending down)
16. E Rod (should pass Wikelman in July)
20, Monegro (not doing well)
22. Penrod (27 y/o)
24. Dobbins (may move up some and is Rule 5)
25. Guerrero (Rule 5)
26. Early (maybe a sleeper)
28. Bastardo (Rule 5, this year)
29. Portes (probably the real sleeper)
30. Zeferjahn (been up and down)
31. Gambrell (probably out of the
32. Mullins (the third sleeper)
I think the farm took a step up, but I know I'm a homer on this.

@RedSoxPlayerDev
In only his 2nd week in Double-A, Kristian Campbell has been named the Eastern League Player of the Week!
After 7 HR's in his last 6 games, Cutter Coffey wins the South Atlantic player of the week.
I should hope so!

@SPChrisHatfield
Maybe the worst part of the Perales TJS: b/c he's on the 40-man roster, he's going to have burned 2 options by the time he's fully rehabbed (I'm assuming he's out for most of 2025). He has 2026 to get ready to contribute full time in 2027. 2 offseasons of a dead roster spot too.
