Groome is the Red Sox's No. 2-ranked prospect, according to MLB Pipeline.

 

Just what the farm system needed!

Our pitching development is cursed.

Shoulda shoulda something.

Exactly.

Totally unnecessary.

 

All Groome needs to do is learn to throw with his right arm.

 

Problem sol-ved.

Should have traded him. Our drafted pitchers rarely amount to much.

trade him to SD for Margot and call it all even.

This was easy to see from a mile away. Maybe he will finally start progressing in 2019 when healthy

Jeez, that sucks. Coming after the loss of Flores (which I still hate even mentioning in a baseball context because it was so horrifying and tragic) and Chavis' PED suspension, and with the lack of high-end talent in general, it's dark times for the farm right now.

Wanted him gone with the off field baggage around him. Maybe Jeter like damaged goods? JT would solve our butt of jokes at catchers.

Wondering how Anderson Espinosa is doing? Cant find nothing on him.

Nevermind, he's done for the year, this year. Pomeranz trade looking more and more favorable for the Sox.

Meh. It’s probably the best time to get this out of the way for him. It’s not like he was going to break into the major league rotation this season or next. Besides, It’s pretty common now. Just ask the Mets.

Hard to trade a guy that has been injured since day 1.
