    I wouldn't have Naylor as the #1 acquisition because I think his pull heavy profile would be a bad fit for Fenway. He doesn't have enough power to really rake in BOS. He'd probably be an upgrade over Toro, but I think Muncy or Santana could put up more numbers over the last few months of '25 in a stretch run. That's all you need them for anyway.

    You mentioned "since June 1st," but it obscures a two and a half week stretch where the offense was pretty rough. Also, hard to be completely sold on the current run as there is a certain stat that really stands out to me. 6/1 - 6/9: 1st in R, 2nd wRC+, 11th highest K%, 3 games with 10+ runs scored 6/10 - 6/27: 29th in R, 29th in wRC+, 2nd highest K% 1 game with 10+ runs scored 6/28 - 7/13: 1st in R, 1st in wRC+, 30th in K%, 7 games with 10+ runs scored I do agree about the parasocial relationship a few fans have developed with Duran. I think that word is overused, but seems to really fit what is going on between him and a segment of the fanbase. I'm not sure he gets traded before this deadline though. Only other remark, I'm not sure the Sox see Cespedes as a SS since 90% of his time in the field has been at 2b this season. When he's been at SS, it's been pretty rough.

    Sox also released Luis Ravelo. Third highest IFA bonus in '21. All field, no hit MIF.
  5. mvp 78
    @Brock Beauchamp Penrod is not in the system anymore
  6. mvp 78
    Sounds light, but IDK

    Again, maybe I'm just crying wolf. We'll have to see how it shakes out. I just hope they don't ignore the offensive side of things. They've put a lot of work into pitching dev, but still need to keep churning out hitters the way they've been able to over the years.
  8. mvp 78
    Twins have stated they don't want to move Ryan as well. It may be a pipe dream.
  9. mvp 78
    With Toro struggling, I'd 100% give him a shot.
  10. mvp 78
    They are only "4 deep" because you are just listing guys whether they are decent prospects or not. It doesn't make it a good offensive farm system or deep. My main point was that after Garcia and Arias, there isn't a whole much to really write home about. The system is light on upper end talent. It will be evident in how the lower levels will start to look offensively in the near future. Only relying on IFA's is not a great idea. Just look at the top of the 24's IFA (Asencio, Carrasquel, Brito) signings and you'll see that it's not an exact science.
  11. mvp 78
    If you're worried about replacing those 4, Campbell (IF/OF) is a better replacement for their skills than Duran (OF only).
  12. mvp 78
    I think a deal for Keller makes more sense than a deal for Ryan. Keller would provide a lot of value. You'd keep the OFers through the end of the year. I think you can then decide between Abreu and Duran in the offseason when you can really plan out the roster more fully than on the fly.
  13. mvp 78
    In theory, it's fine. In practice, you have to develop these guys and actually fit them into the org. They will have pitchers pitching at the wrong level and run out of spots for them to play, unless they will start flipping them. They also need to actively acquire MiLB offensive talent via trades/FA.
  14. mvp 78
    I guess you just aren't a Ricky Gutierrez guy?
  15. mvp 78
    The Red Sox are planning on doing both. Win now. Win later. What's the point in having a farm system if not to develop guys then? The Dodgers are always bringing up guys. The Sox should too.
  16. mvp 78
    Maybe I'm crying wolf, but I'm not the only one (just the only one on here). C - none of those guys have a future as MLB C 1b - Jordan should be given a shot in BOS, but won't be. No idea on Tibbs. Justin Gonzales has played 0 Innings at 1b this year. He's OF only going forward apparently. 2b - Romero is maybe a future UTIL guy, but has an extensive injury history and is most likely going to be traded SS - Arias is a decent prospect and I've said as much. Soto is just too far away to know. 3b - a list of guys just to list guys LF - Ehrhard is interesting, but maybe a bench piece at best. If Riemer is LF going forward, he's toast. CF - Garcia is another very good prospect. Worried he'll be dealt. Sox see him as a platoon guy. Azocar has some buzz, the others don't and are very far away. As we saw with Yuten, these guys can drop off fast RF - Of the three guys listed, the guy with the highest likelihood of getting to MLB is Taylor. He's a strong defender and should get up for a cup of coffee. Bleis is a five tool prospect, but never shows well when I watch him in games. The only guys to get excited over are Arias and Jhostynxon. There are some other fair prospects. Some guys to watch and a lot of filler, including guys you mentioned (Zanetello).

    Welcome to TalkSox! 100% agree on Tolle!
  18. mvp 78
    Tell that to the Dodgers who run out of starting pitchers every playoffs.
  19. mvp 78
    Two straight drafts BTW
  20. mvp 78
    It's just swung too far in the other direction IMO. After Jhostynxon and Arias, there really isn't anything to brag about on the offensive side of things on the farm. It's very, very light. You can tell by looking at how SP projects their '26 rosters. SAL will have 9 college graduated pitchers, the majority of whom should probably be in GRE to start the season. The SAL offense is probably going to be putrid if the reports out of the FCL and DSL are correct.
  21. mvp 78
    Campbell was a Bloom pick though.
  22. mvp 78
    Pass.
  23. mvp 78
    SP guys think a lot of cuts from FCL.
  24. mvp 78
    Not going to get hot and bothered over DSL and FCL numbers. Need to see these guys in SAL. We saw what happened with Cespedes and Bleis early on.
  25. mvp 78
    The only problem I have with a Anthony for Skenes trade is that this org seems to be completely punting on ever developing a bat ever again. Otherwise I'd do it.
