    Hickey needs a lot of work behind the plate. There's a good chance he'll need to be moved off the position. Runners are 37/37 in SB chances this season against him. Meidroth has a very advanced approach, but has a high GB% (kind of like what we saw with early Duran). We'll see if his numbers cool off a little. These players were just too good to leave in A+.
  2. mvp 78
    If that's the case, they should move a guy like Houck to the pen because he can throw multiple innings.

    If they fix him, I'm going to quit watching baseball.

    Hickey and Meidroth were just promoted to AA. @SoxProspects Some early season promotions/movement today. INF Edwin Diaz: AA -> AAA C Nathan Hickey (#SP60 #15) A+ -> AA 2B/3B Chase Meidroth (#22) A+ -> AA RHP Ryan Zeferjahn (#51) Activated from the 7-day IL (AA) C Matt Donlan (AA) + LHP Skyer Arias (AA) -> Development List @alexspeier A bit of early season movement is coming today in the Red Sox system, with C Nathan Hickey and IF Chase Meidroth expected to move from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland. Meidroth - a 4th rounder in ‘22- is hitting .338/.495/.459 w/more BBs than Ks. He needs to be challenged. @alexspeier Hickey, a ‘21 5th rounder - is hitting .294/.402/.588 for Greenville. He spent about half of last year in Greenville. Like Meidroth, his advanced approach likely requires the challenge of the upper levels. Portland’s staff also has two catching instructors.

    FanGraphs had a nice article on Connor Wong today. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/connor-wong-is-popping-and-blocking/

    moon brought him up. He's not even on my radar.
  7. mvp 78
    Luis De La Rosa. https://soxprospects.com/players/delarosa-luis.htm
  8. mvp 78
    De La Rosa or Guerrero? Are you getting two players confused? Guerrero is the pure relief guy. DLR is the org guy.
  9. mvp 78
    Unlike the Las Vegas Sin. Other previously used names: Rattlers Thunder Hawks Aviators Lights Ramblers Vipers All pretty boring names. I'd go with the Las Vegas Demolition. The logo would be an imploding Vegas hotel.

    Baseball America put this on the "Hot Sheet" today: "HELIUM -- Roman Anthony, OF, Red Sox. Anthony’s numbers this season might not jump off the page, but scouts who have seen him believe the ingredients are there for a potentially special player."
  11. mvp 78
    Las Vegas Golden Knights. That has a ring to it.
  12. mvp 78
    Maybe. We don't typically see guys come completely out of nowhere, but he could end up being a middle reliever or something.
  13. mvp 78
    There's already an MiLB stadium there that the A's are thinking of moving to in the meantime. Probably few day games which really only affects getaway days.
  14. mvp 78
    Yeah, MLB wouldn't want to be associated with gambling at this point. THIS POST BROUGHT TO YOU BY DRAFT KINGS!!!!
  15. mvp 78
    Guerrero is NOT a starter. He is a pure reliever but can be a good one. Wikelman had a horrible April. He pitched well last time out. Due to his age, I think he's out of the system before he makes it to MLB. De La Rosa is not even in the Top 60 of prospects. He's an org guy. Walter is a fringe starter, probably a reliever as his velo has ticked down. Mata is a pen arm IMO.
  16. mvp 78
    I don't think many people realistically think they'll make a run at the division. Make a run at the Wild Card? Maybe. The rotation just has to be ok. Sale/Whitlock/Bello/Kluber/Pivetta/Paxton (take one out) is good enough to be average. If the offense hits and the bullpen doesn't turn into a faucet, they'll be fine.
  17. mvp 78
    Haven't heard anything.
  18. mvp 78
    Winckowski and Houck are bullpen arms. Whitlock is an unknown largely due to his health. Should he be sent to the pen for this reason? IDK. Bello and Drohan both look good at the moment. Others of note: Noah Dean probably is moved back to the pen and sees a Winckowski type role. Elmer Rodriguez Cruz is probably a future 4-5 starter. Luis Perales has the ceiling of a top of the rotation starter, but just hasn't had much in game time. One scouting report showed him as a future closer maybe.
  19. mvp 78
    Joely is coming back. Sherriff is pitching well in AAA.
  20. mvp 78
    Oakland isn't great, but the surrounding area in the West Bay is nice. Oakland didn't have a huge attendance problem until the owners really started cheapening out on the team. When Fischer bought the team, he stopped maintaining the Coliseum almost immediately and just let it turn to s***. The Raiders moving back to the Oakland ruined it as a baseball stadium as well. It's no surprise that fans stopped going. He was holding out for public funding and got it out in Vegas. Dude put the A's franchise as collateral on a separate loan and has no money.

    @PortlandSeaDogs CJ Liu's complete game 7-inning no-hitter on Friday has earned him Eastern League Pitcher of the Week honors

    @PeteAbe #RedSox announced they returned James Paxton from his rehab assignment. What this means (and I should have been more clear) is that the rehab assignment is over. He'll be with the team here in Atlanta and will be added to the active roster and as was reported yesterday, he'll likely face the Cardinals this weekend.
  23. mvp 78
    The exceptions: Shugart, Thompson, Broadway and Mosqueda. None of them are great options. Shugart and Broadway may be ok at some point. Sherriff (LHP) is pitching decently. Maybe they try giving him a call at some point.
  24. mvp 78
    I wouldn't move Drohan just to get Mata into the pen. Those moves are independent to me.
  25. mvp 78
    Maybe more full time AB's now for a UTIL role later? I know they were trying to get him OF reps last year, but he has none so far this year. He's been 2b/SS only so far in '23.
