    The 4 highest nationally ranked draftees were all hitters. Even though it went 11/9 towards pitchers, this was a hitter focused draft. Most of the money will be spent there. My complaint last offseason was a lack of offensive guys. They seem to be turning it around.
  2. mvp 78
    Not Lindor though!!! There were some people who wanted to trade for Lindor because of the drama with Soto. I think we saw what happened recently as reason we don't need him on this team.

    Henry should keep the team, but hold onto a CBO for longer than 4 years and make sure ownership stays out of their way. That's the whiplash that is causing the Sox to not have a real run. Bloom/DD/Breslow, they should stick with a guy and hand the keys over. Ever since Theo left, it has felt like ownership has played too large a part in decision making.

    I haven't seen any of his starts this year so I can't comment. Is he better or worse than Brannon?
  5. mvp 78
    Huh? I no longer trust the Sox valuations. They need to be willing to take a loss on a trade to make the right deal.
  6. mvp 78
    100% We just pay attention to the guys in our system. The same types of players exist throughout MiLB.
  7. mvp 78
    Tell that to John Henry? 🤷‍♂️
  8. mvp 78
    He won't this year. If he does, I'm not sure the Sox would worry about it. He's not worth a 40 man spot.
  9. mvp 78
    The Yankees aren't sellers because they make the playoffs almost every season. They are still 7 games ahead of the Sox even after the Sox have gone on a crazy winning streak and Judge has been out.

    I think Soto is very overrated. The pitching in the FCL isn't very good and he's only sporting a 586 OPS. All the hype centered on his athleticism and signing bonus. I've seen enough of those guys flop (sorry) over the past few seasons that I'm over that profile. They need to prove it before they get a rocket strapped to them. Phillips is a reliever to me. Ramos also has a 570 OPS in FCL. All young players have some sort of upside. I think this group just has less upside than some recent top 30 lists we've had.

    It was supposedly a very deep draft with a lot talent, but the issues of signability will make it harder to evaluate it right away. The MLB draft is just a lot more complicated than the other drafts. Should it be? I'm just glad they didn't overstock on arms again. We'll see how the Sox do at developing these guys going forward.
  12. mvp 78
    I think you'll find that I'm being realistic.
  13. mvp 78
    I'm taking the GRE numbers with a huge grain of salt because that league's offense is greatly inflated this year the combination of bad pitching and tiny ballparks. Heyman and White combined for 12 HR against GBO and ASH, the two worst pitching staffs for HR in that league. It's the same for guys like Yophery who has 7 of his 12 HR against ASH and GBO as well. Sox must be high on Heyman as they have him hit 3rd when he starts.
  14. mvp 78
    I'd take Alonso as a DH. It would depend on what they are giving up, but you'd get him to sit on the bench and hit dingers. I just don't want them to buy expensive rentals.
  15. mvp 78
    The system is still very top heavy. After the top 10 guys, there really isn't much left to talk about.
  16. mvp 78
    They have a good stretch at home to reverse the nonsensical way they've played at Fenway so far. Then they can go out west and have a strong showing and maybe make a real case. Right now, they are still 2 games below .500. That's a huge point to me.
  17. mvp 78
    Maybe Oviedo can come back as reliever? Maybe? I agree on not wanting to trade Eyanson or Arias. It's not that they are untouchable, but I don't think they are going to swing a trade where it's worth their while to move them. They could probably trade anyone outside the top 10 and it wouldn't be the end of the world considering where the farm system is. Though I do like Rivas a lot and Winnay has really been swinging it.
  18. mvp 78
    Yes, it wasn't all on Devers the way some people make it out to be. There's enough ways to spread the blame out among Devers, Cora, Breslow and JH. If the only negatives that people can find were "he wore headphones in the locker room and he was hesitant to play a new position in the middle of the season" it says a lot about how much of a "diva" he truly was.
  19. mvp 78
    You'd be buying if they go 5-4 against the 4th and 5th teams in the AL East when playing at Home? I guess it's better than losing, but it's not something I'm pounding my chest over. They still have a west coast trip vs A's and Dodgers right after.
  20. mvp 78
    Paez and Romero wouldn't get drafted in Rule 5 anyway. No reason to worry about needing to trade them.
  21. mvp 78
    Sox system is notably weaker than it has been. Being a top 20 guy doesn't mean much.
  22. mvp 78
    I don't think those names fetch anything interesting TBH.
  23. mvp 78
    SF wants to extend Arraez. Crochet and Anthony don't have a timetable for a return. Don't really know about Early. With the added innings, are you not concerned about future injuries to Tolle or Bennett? Duran, Mayer and Bello all saw their stock plummet. They wouldn't fetch much at this point. Trout's contract would be a nightmare. The reason you sign a long term guy like Trout is for the first few seasons, not to get him for the back half of the contract.
  24. mvp 78
    Sure, they could make a huge mistake and start buying players.
  25. mvp 78
    The problem is that the Sox have always valued Duran higher than people outside the organization. A deal was never going to get done unless the Sox were willing to take a perceived loss on the trade.
