    Bubic, Keller and Kelly would be the top of my list. Not overly excited about the other names.
  2. mvp 78
    I think he should be given a legit shot at some point. He's a different player this year.
  3. mvp 78
    Who did this happen to? Campbell came up and hit fine. The league then caught up to him. If he stayed in AAA for 6 more months, the league would have just caught up to him at that point. He just needs to figure it out.

    For me, it just depends on the price tag. Sandlin? Seems a little high. Romero, Bleis, Cespedes, Paez, Monegro or similar? Sounds better to me.

    Well I don't think Fenway would be a good fit for his skills.

    Speier isn't providing numbers for unannounced signings, but has mentioned which guys haven't signed yet:
  7. mvp 78
    They are approximately 60k over the 5% threshold if every other pick gets slot (they won't). None of the other picks look like they'd be over slot by very much and a few look like they'd be under slot. Phillips, Eyanson and Witherspoon were the big signings for the class. Everyone else shouldn't be a problem.

    I prefer wild speculation.
  9. mvp 78
    Per Alex Speier and Pete Abraham, they also signed 11th round pick Barrett Morgan (RHP) for 500k.

    This is the whole comment. I don't think he was talking about rounds 3-10, because the picks we had in 3-10 ended up pretty good IMO for what you can expect. This year they even added Eyanson in round 3! That's why I figured it wasn't a round 3-10 comment.

    That was his comment which started the discussion. I noted this morning: Last year, day two was rounds 3 - 10.
  15. mvp 78
    Yes, but I assumed Larry was talking about other rounds when he said "the 2025 college pitchers on day 2, may be actually worse than the 2024 day 2 college pitchers we took!!!" Aita, Clarke and Futrell have been very good so far. Cason and Neely just got injured. This is much better than we got out of the Bloom pitching in those rounds (Duffy, Weins, O'Donnell, Ammons, Rogers, Dean, Bolden, Brand, Olds, Litwicki, Hoppe, Coffey: Not Good. Early, Wehunt, Elmer, Dobbins: Good). A lot of guys that I really barely remember in there.

    Rays exercised his '26 option, so I'm not sure they'd trade him. I know they are in the process of being sold, but I don't think that impacts short term salary like this. I also don't think he'd be a Fenway masher.
  17. mvp 78
    Putting him in the pen would help manage his innings as well.
  18. mvp 78
    Let me pill you on a AAA guy: April OPS 844 May OPS 567 (maybe skews the overall numbers too low?) June OPS 854 July OPS 1097 vs RHP OPS 856 Give this guy a shot at 1b for a little bit?
  19. mvp 78
    If he comes up, it'd be in a relief role down the stretch IMO.
  20. mvp 78
    Eventually, you learn which posters are just constantly miserable. Feel free to ignore them in the gamethreads and you'll enjoy it more.
  21. mvp 78
    Last year, day two was rounds 3 - 10. Neely: hurt all season Clarke: great Aita: very good in SAL and GRE Cason: hurt all season Futrell: very good in SAL Aside from the injuries, the pitchers in those rounds were good picks. I think Neely will end up working out. Cason is a shot in the dark, but the signed him for the upside. Maybe he winds up being Trey Ball? Maybe he figures it out?
  22. mvp 78
    I believe there were only 2 days for the draft this year and three days of the draft last year. By "day two guys," I assumed the OP meant rounds 11-20.
  23. mvp 78
    FanGraphs has it listed at 5 right now. 👀
  24. mvp 78
    Per Statcast: Naylor career HR: 97 Career AZ: 96 Career Fenway: 69 I don't believe putting him in Fenway is going to improve his power at all. Simply plotting his spray chart onto a different field doesn't show us what he'd actually do at Fenway. Is it worth it to trade Sandlin for two months of a -2 OAA 1b that won't be tearing the cover off the ball down the stretch? If you really believe this team is going to make some noise in October I guess.

    I heard we don’t need an upgrade for Wong?
