    Rounds 3 - 10 will be a cluster of slot to below slot guys we've never heard of. My guess is that there will be a few driveline college pitchers in there.
  2. mvp 78
    As deserving as it would be, they are not DFAing Pablo...
  3. mvp 78
    They have refined their scouting in recent years and are better now than ever. I'm not going to vouch for them back in the Lars Anderson days. Also, just looking at overall rankings isn't great as sometimes prospects just don't work out and sometimes the system has just been really awful. I used Flores and Jimenez as examples of them giving too much helium to toolsy DSL/FCL guys because sometimes they do get caught up in a hype train and then get stuck with a prospect being too high in their rankings for a while. Other times, they are too slow to move on pushing other guys up. They've really been a roller coaster on Blaze Jordan too.

    @SPChrisHatfield One interesting note as we look at potential Red Sox moves after the break: On his rehab assignment, Pablo Reyes DHed once and played 2B three times. He did not play shortstop. Not really sure what to make of that given that it seems like he's getting activated after the break. Arroyo DFA

    They said Teel would be 6th ahead of Drohan most likely. I'm assuming that Nazzan would be 18th ahead of Paulino, but have no idea.
  6. mvp 78
    So the sample is "SoxProspects guys that they really liked who made it to the bigs" and just that... Well of course if that's the entire sample then that's your entire dumb worldview. No sense in having in trying to have a nuanced conversation then.
  7. mvp 78
    SoxProspects have had their share of Antoni Flores and Gilberto Jimenez helium guys to be wary of. I like SoxProspects, you just need to take all rankings with a grain of salt.
  8. mvp 78
    Pipeline had him 9th.

    Kiley McDaniel, ESPN From May: @BOSSportsGordo Kiley McDaniel released his updated Top 50 MLB Prospects. From the Red Sox: 3. Marcelo Mayer 49. Roman Anthony
  10. mvp 78
    Right now, they are 2 games back. I'd consider dangling Duvall and seeing if you are bowled over with an offer, but if it's not a really great one (which I highly doubt it would be since he's not swinging it like early April) it's not worth dealing him. Since 6/9: 47 wRC+ Since 6/25: 67 wRC+ Maybe it doesn't matter since he hasn't been that good since coming back anyway?
  11. mvp 78
    Story is the 2b going forward. Mayer/cheap FA is the SS.
  12. mvp 78
    If they are 5 games out of the WC.
  13. mvp 78
    Some in the national media also pushed Roman Anthony's rankings earlier than SoxProspects did, so I would have to say they missed the boat with him a little there... Just because they are the local source doesn't mean they are infallible. They talk to the same scouts and sources the national guys do.
  14. mvp 78
    The rankings are also very fluid. Paulino was ranked 10th at the start of the year and will probably be in the 20's at the end of this year. Meidroth was in the 40's at the end of last season. Garcia just jumped up 21 spots. Brannon was ahead of him in their previous rankings. They have overreacted on prospects before...
  15. mvp 78
    I'd trade him if the return is decent (i.e. a top 20 prospect).
  16. mvp 78
    Who cares about team control for a guy like Arroyo? In a career year, he maybe gets 1 fWAR. Not worth worrying about the team control IMO.
  17. mvp 78
    He should just bench Arroyo instead against LHP. @itsbrianbarrett Arroyo 2023 v. Righties .293/.330/.425/.755 v. Lefties .196/.211/.357/.568 50% whiff rate against breaking balls
  18. mvp 78
    No idea. They didn't say. 18 in front of Paulino?
  19. mvp 78
    So not an impossible situation for Cora then?
  20. mvp 78
    They were keeping Houck stretched out, which in hindsight seems like a good idea since he was an ok starter this year. His stuff didn't really play up in a bullpen role. Maybe he is just a bulk reliever?
  21. mvp 78
    Brannon and Garcia are 18 and 19, it's a little too early to definitively state either way. Brannon is mashing in Salem. Garcia is mashing in FCL. Brannon has bigger power upside. Garcia is a more all around athlete.
  22. mvp 78
    Yup. It's just not a word my fingers are used to typing.
  23. mvp 78
    Garcia is a bat first guy too. I wouldn't automatically assume he sticks at C long term.
  24. mvp 78
    Brannon's defense isn't that great right now. He's a work in progress (at best) at blocking. Tell is far and away their best catching prospect right now and it's not close.
  25. mvp 78
    He's been better so far this season vs LHP. There's a definite split, but you can hold your nose with a 700 OPS. If it trends lower, then you platoon.
