The makeup concerns were because of his father.
-
No, he didn't.
-
Cora had a meeting with Dalbec, who arrived early to camp. Dalbec will play a lot of third with Devers at WBC and will also see time at first and shortstop
-
This is what McCaffrey’s tweet says: Jansen is slightly behind because and his family were sick this winter and he need to stop workouts. He won't go to WBC and wants to stay in Sox camp to work on pitch clock and getting to know the team
-
I didn’t say slow start.
-
Today was the first day of pitchers and catchers and he's not going to the WBC now, so I'm not really worried.
-
They treat those guys like pokémon.
-
Very debatable.

I summarized the article fine enough. The conclusion was Groome had been a consensus top pick in the draft at one point and was seen as a top of the rotation starter similar to Kershaw. Groome didn't fall due to his talent as harmony's first post initially suggested. He fell due to "character" and "signability" as the agent wanted a 4M bonus and his recent de-commitment from Vandy to Chipola which would allow him to re-enter the draft a year earlier if he didn't come to an agreement the team that drafted him.

He is in the lower quintile in BB%. Sox are trying to get away from that type of pitcher. Maybe also don't like the profile of a guy that throws a slider 60% of the time?
-
He was selected 12th overall by the Boston Red Sox in the draft, falling in part due to a reported signing bonus demand of $4 million and because of his change in college commitment; teams had signability concerns. The Red Sox and Groome agreed to a $3.65 million signing bonus.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2637657-jason-groome-prospect-profile-for-red-soxs-1st-round-pick When Baseball America released its first top-100 draft prospects list on March 10, Jason Groome was perched atop those rankings in the No. 1 spot. Here's what MLB.com's Prospect Watch had to say about Groome: Groome has everything to be a top-of-the-rotation left-handed starting pitcher, from his 6-foot-6 frame to the potential to have three above-average to plus offerings. The fastball is already there, up to 96 mph and sitting 92-93 mph over the summer, and in the 90-94 mph range in the early stages of the spring. It seems every projectable left-hander with a good curveball draws comparisons to Kershaw, but Groome actually has the complete package to come close to delivering on that high praise. Projection: No. 2 starter with ace upside
-
He's too tall to actually be a pilot from what I've heard.

@MacCerullo Chris Sale asked how his rehab is going. "No rehab man! I'm a real boy!"
-
The only thing I worry about is that I've heard a lot about "the strength of the farm system is in the lower levels" over the years. It never seems to materialize past that point.
-
Keith Law would love it if we loaded up on teenage arms every year. However, it would make this system much more volatile. I think Bloom's plan is building a strong system and then use his assets to deal for arms when the team is ready. Right now, the prospects are too far away to provide much value in deals. Teams want AA and above.
-
They were the highest bidder amongst several. Soto will wait until others can bid as well.
-
Groome was the best pitcher in his class. Song was lights out in professional debut and only dropped due to the military service. Mata had an explosive arm prior to the injury. Espinoza was being compared to PEDRO. Kopech was throwing 100mph with a wipeout slider. I'm not sure any of their fates would have changed if they started off in another org.
-
Soto will go to FA. 100%
-
He wanted 12x2. Padres just stretched it out for AAV savings. They needed to be under 7M for the 3rd threshold. He will most likely not be there for 4 years, but they'll pay it all.
-
Is it scouting? Is it development? Is it bad luck? Who are the upper echelon guys they have had in recent memory? Groome - TJS Song - Military Service Mata - TJS Espinoza - Traded/TJS Kopech - Traded
-
I think there are a lot of arms with potential in the upper minors right now. One or two of them need to take that next step.
-
Sox really haven't had a decent pitching pipeline since the late 00's with Bard/Paplebon/Lester/Buchholz/Masterson/Kelly/Bowden.
