Cora said Atlanta coaching staff typically offers candid, sharp assessments in spring. He said their staff praised how Devers and Bogaerts look defensively.
@SoxProspects
Jarren Duran went 2-for-2 with a double in today's Spring Training game. He scored a run and spent time in left and center field. Duran is fourth on the #SP60.
There were three 95-plus mph throws on infield outs in 2020. Tatis had two of them (topped by a 97.3 mph laser on a ground out). Xander Bogaerts had the other (96.1 mph) as he fielded a ball at shortstop, ran across the bag at second base and then threw to first with all of his momentum going in the direction of the throw.
If Houck can hold up his part at the start of the season, I'd keep him there. Maybe he figures it out?
Would be great for the Sox if they had two young starters like that.
