I'm at the Phil Collins concert, now. I'll "fill" you in later.

[moonslav59]

Great concert.

 

Man, Phil looks old! He walked out with a cane and had to sit for the whole concert.

 

Great band- 15 members.

 

Very good show.

Sox prospect ranking moved up to 22nd. I'm sure everyone here will give THAT credit to the next GM. That's how it works here, isn't it Moon?

Woo-hoo!

[Bellhorn04]

FWIW, there's a lengthy article in the Globe today speculating that Theo might very well be on the list of candidates to replace DD.

FanGraphs had the Red Sox farm system at No. 30 in late July:

In February Keith Law reportedly ranked the Red Sox farm system No. 24:

MassLive.com is reporting that Baseball America has the Red Sox system at #22 in its new rankings.

 

But I can't give any links. The BA site is a pay site and the MassLive site is awful.

Well, if that is true, BA is a respectable, and that would be a good sign, but my guess is we will be ranked between 26-30 by most services.

So, of the latest 3 we know off, 2 have us at #30 and 1 at #22.

MassLive.com indeed reports that Baseball America has moved the Red Sox farm system up to No. 22 in the BA rankings:

3 guys in the top 100: Nice!

 

"Power hitters Triston Casas and Bobby Dalbec as well as 20-year-old starter Bryan Mata earned spots on Baseball America’s top 100 list after the preseason list included no Red Sox prospects."

 

Anybody know what numbers they are?

cant wait for jacksonianmarch to tell us all how far away these 3 are....

[d-money]

Getting off to a quick nice start is always critical when it comes to next year. These players should see this season as basically a massive disappointment. Your hated rival wins the division and completely owns you this season. I believe the series was 13-5 . Cora should be on the hot seat next season depending on who comes back and if they acquire anybody new.

The funny thing would be if they were ranked ahead of all the Yankee prospects he's been gushing over, recently.

[moonslav59]

Are two very good RP'ers better than one great closer?

 

Here's a good read. (Stat geek avoid.)

The recently updated MLB Prospect Watch list has the Red Sox with only Triston Casas at No. 86 while the Yankees have Deivi Garcia at No. 63, Jasson Dominguez at No. 67 and Estevan Florial at No. 83:

That seems about right, but it would be fun, if BA had ours ahead.

[Larry Cook]

If Porcello walks, we should sign one or maybe two of gibson, rourck, or hamels.

 

But our top target should be will smith.

[jacksonianmarch]

The White Sox are gonna be a dark horse for next year. With Giolito and Kopech, they’ll have the horses at the front. Lopez is intriguing and Rodin should be back eventually. They have the closer in colome. They’ve got the building blocks in Moncada, Anderson and Jimenez. I know Abreu will be gone, but he’s overrated. The White Sox would be an excellent dark horse for JD

Be cruising on the Danbube for the next 10 days. Maybe something will happen with the GM in that time. Once in place, things can move on players like Porcello, Moreland and Betts. Hope the news is positive.
