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.
-
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.

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

Putting him in the pen would help manage his innings as well. -
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?

A Realistic View of the 2025 Red Sox: Part II

If he comes up, it'd be in a relief role down the stretch IMO. -
Eventually, you learn which posters are just constantly miserable. Feel free to ignore them in the gamethreads and you'll enjoy it more.

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?
-
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.

FanGraphs has it listed at 5 right now. 👀

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?
-
He’s not the only one.
-
The counter argument is that the likely hitter he'd be replaced with in the cleanup spot wouldn't have made a difference considering how 4-9 has hit today.
-
🤨
-
Cleanup in 2025 is cursed.
-
Those guys are still on the roster though?
-
Should have been on the Opening Day roster.
-
Giolito doesn't have a great track record at Wrigley. The last 3 G (inc. this one), he has given up 6 💣.
-
The talk about the Sale trade above tripped me up on the timing! 😩
-
I can only have 3! I'm not sure I said he'd be DFA'd because he has 2 options remaining. If I did, I misspoke. I would have always dumped Sogard over him.
-
I never doubted Justin Wilson and stood firm against you stating he'd be DFA'd in ST.
