He has done a pretty good job. The only straight up failure was the Travis Shaw trade. However, Shaw looked horrible during the 2nd half of last year. No one was upset when he was traded.
-
Yeah, Rutledge is a waste imo.
-
I don't take names or really care anyway. I don't call out anyone unless it's completely in jest. It's all in good fun.
-
They like letting their guys compete in the MiLB AS games. That's the only reason he wasn't promoted earlier.
-
I don't think he's going to OPS over 900 in MLB this year. He'll do it someday, but not this year.
-
And you remember me posting about Devers in the offseason? You need to review the definition of strawman. You have no clue what it means.
-
Many people on here who told me over and over that he wouldn't get up here this year.
-
"Oh they'd never bring him up this year." TOLD YOU SO!
-
RIP Ari Schultz
-
P.s. Timlin is not good.
-
He won a WS and signed a 10 year contract a few years later in 2009.
-
Nope.

If you listen to the recent podcasts, they are putting more of an emphasis on results with their rankings. The eyeball test has value, but you do need to supplement it with actual performance.

They might not be "professional" but they have been trained by the MLB development program. Interesting that "professional scouts" like Keith Law often praise SoxProspects for the great job they do. Also interesting that the previous scouting director for Sox Prospects moved on to work for the well renowned Baseball Prospectus.

For a Ted Williams franchise/elite player, Sox Prospects would have a player noted as an 8. They currently have zero players with an 8 as a scale. For an AS level player, Sox Prospects would have a player noted as a 7. They only have 3 players noted as having a ceiling of an AS: Devers, Groome and Flores. Seems reasonable enough to me. For Sam Travis, they have him currently at a 5, with a 4-6 range. That means they seem him as being able to contribute as an average starter in MLB with the potential maybe of someday making an AS team, but not regularly. That seems reasonable too.

Someone at a big helping of hyperbole for breakfast this morning.

i.e. not worth it
-
Many people on here lamented the loss of Dubon as a throw in. Didn't seem to be necessary to include him. Trade should have just been Shaw plus one minor leaguer for Thornburg.
-
From SoxProspects: Arm: Accurate with average arm strength. Arm is passable on the left side of the infield in a reserve role.
-
Sure, but they aren't moving him. He has more years of control left and is the only draw remaining in their clubhouse to put butts in the seats.
-
"potential"
-
I'd say that 5, 6 and 7 all have star potential. No one else jumps out right now though.
-
To me, it's not generally smart to trade for relievers at the deadline as their price skyrockets.
-
Like trading Mata plus filler for Phelps. No thanks.
-
Oh fudge!
