    2020 was: Yorke no pick Jordan Wu-Yellend Drohn Getting 3 out of 4 picks to work out seems good to me?
  2. mvp 78
    They were the 30th rank system before him, now they are probably about 13th? He's been fine. Solid B. If he had done a fire sale last year, they'd be in even better position.
  3. mvp 78
    The draft is a crapshoot. They went a little underslot with that pick because they didn't have a 2nd round pick. Not every 1st rounder turns into a top 100 guy. That pick has worked out as a plus IMO.
  4. mvp 78
    No, the guy is a 31 year old journeyman.

    I don't see Bello as a TOTR guy. He's probably could be a decent #2 though. He doesn't get enough k's, gives up a lot of hard contact and most of the underlying metrics are average. He has a good 4 pitch mix, but none of the pitches are really plus plus. Nice to have you back on here.

    2023: Starter - ERA 4.73, OPS 783, WHIP 1.34, xFIP 4.02 Reliever - ERA 1.66, OPS 371, WHIP 0.69, xFIP 4.32 If you look at his Statcast, the big change is the value on his 4 seamer. There's no change in velo or hard hit rate (40ish%). Either he's been lucky while relieving, or the shorter starts have allowed him to control the pitch more effectively.

    Jacques was an MiLB Rule 5 pick. At 28, there's not much to him either.

    Was tempted to increase font size too.

    Pitcher. You can fake the DH part.

    Time to give Bloom a wedgie...

    Ian Cundall of SoxProspects belives the Sox will have about $600K left over to try to sign Phoenix Call. Right now he's a speedy, defensive first guy with hit tool questions. We'll see if they can get him onboard.
  13. mvp 78
    Not sure I want any of them pitching for BOS this season.
  14. mvp 78
    Fernando in RBI Baseball or John Dowd in MVP Baseball.

    @SoxProspects More transactions: IF/OF Max Ferguson AAA -> A+ LHP Rio Gomez off of AAA development list And not a transaction, but Dinelson Lamet will enter the AAA rotation and will start tomorrow. Barraclough tonight, Drohan Sunday. Not a surprise about Ferguson. He was only sent up to WOO because of the roster issues. "Org guys" are often moved around like that whenever they need to fill in some cracks. It also shows to me that they don't really see much of a ceiling in Ferguson.
  16. mvp 78
    @SoxProspects Some transactions today. More likely to come. 1B Niko Kavadas: AA -> AAA UT Ryan Fitzgerald: Assigned to FCL Red Sox for rehab assignment. RHP Daury Pena: Assigned to DSL Red Sox Blue. Kavadas makes sense in WOO as Scott was playing too much 1B due to roster issues.
  17. mvp 78
    He's thrown over 130 Innings once in his career. Pass...
  18. mvp 78
    Yuck.
  19. mvp 78
    And one injury would take out both players at the same time!
  20. mvp 78
    I think people just like getting mad at my posts rather than actually reading them.
  21. mvp 78
    I don't know what Bloom will do with the rotation for 2024. If he adds Yamamoto to Bello, Whitlock, Houck and Sale it would be a fairly decent rotation. Still some injury risk though. However, the offense would still be really strong and we could see Story shift to 2B and Mayer added at SS at some point. Abreu and Rafaela would be closer to add to the depth in the OF. I think that's a much deeper roster than 2023. This year, there were no fall back plans in case of injury. Going forward, there should be an influx of young talent at the upper levels of the minors to fill in those holes. The "last place Red Sox" would be 1st in the Central and 3rd in the West right now. I think their record would be a little better next season though. Uncertain to how much higher it would play out in the standings as the East is a really difficult division for all 5 teams.
  22. mvp 78
    It's why Othani isn't coming here. Some other pitcher? Maybe.
  23. mvp 78
    @redsoxstats Baseball America has updated their Top 100 post-draft. Roman Anthony is now #35.
  24. mvp 78
    To me, the last few Drohan starts are underwhelming. Simply looking at earned runs is not a good measure of performance for a pitcher, especially if they are only going 3 or 4 innings. I think the best organizations consider all moves and are always monitoring their talent. If they really believe in Perales long term, of course they wouldn't move him. I just suggested that if they were really going to be buyers at the deadline (which I don't think they should be) that there are lots of ways to get talent onto your roster. Is it a move that Bloom is likely to make? I don't think so. Frankly, I have no idea what Bloom is likely to do since he stood pat last season when he should have had a massive fire sale to add to the team's future. This organization has made some weird moves and non-moves over the past 4 years and I don't think anyone of us could guess what will exactly happen at the end of this month. At least a conversation about trading Perales is more interesting than Barnes blowing a game from a year and half ago.

    So to get him to spend, he needs to be made to look foolish and be put over a barrel. How often can we do that?
