Jansen: 0 games Pivetta: 0-3 games Go from a 81 win to 78 win team.

Say your prayers that Yoshida comes back HOT and that they can deal him at the deadline and only eat a small amount of money.

I guess the pitching in AAA isn't really better than AA if Yorke's OPS has almost doubled since promotion. Or is it just a small sample size? Yorke was at about 700 PA's in AA. He was going to get promoted no matter what. He'll also return to a 750 OPS or worse sooner or later IMO. Yorke is also Rule 5 eligible this offseason. They need to figure out if they want to retain him this year or not. There's no similar rush with the big three.

You can't know that by scouting box scores. Sorry. Anthony, Teel and Mayer all have stuff to work on. None of them are mashing like Betts or Devers did in AA that forced quick promotions to AAA and then on to MLB.
-
fWAR is not listed on the online voting ballots, OPS is. -
If Mayer can't hit LHP in AA, how is it helping him to face even more difficult LHP in AAA? Where is he going to find success? The step towards reaching his goal is succeeding at AA. Mayer is a guy that the SoxProspects guys think may not even be a SS 5-6 years after he enters the league. He's not a huge power guy. He'll need to develop other skills if he's moving off position and struggles against LHP currently, something he can adjust.
-
He's not getting called up to BOS this season. Not sure why you're trying to rush him to AAA where they'd have to get rid of depth players that could help a team that you're worried about falling under .500.
-
fWAR is the most meaningful statistic for the All Star Game?
-
Why would you call up a 3rd catcher to sit on the bench? If you get rid of a catcher and Wong or McGuire gets hurt, you're really in the lurch in BOS.
-
Honestly, if he had all of 2024 at AA, then 1.5 months at AAA next season, he could be ready for BOS. It's the same timeline. The "big three" are already close enough that I don't think there's a reason to worry about the timing of the next promotion. More important that they continue on their development path.
-
Mayer still struggles with offspeed stuff I believe and his OPS against LHP is gross. Still has work to do! Romero to AAA???
-
minor league arms, 15-20 on a team's prospect list maybe In my initial response, I didn't say A 15-20 prospect.
-
“I felt like I was hitting a lot of balls hard that were just getting caught,” said Yorke. “You see an outfielder usually run back on them and they’re running in and it’s like, ‘What do I have to do?’ Playing in a ballpark like Portland in April and May, it’s tough to get stuff going." Yorke (POR only) Home 569 OPS Away 836 OPS
-
You said "low prospect." If they were trading for multiple arms as the post you quoted suggests, then yes.
-
The GM wanted him to be the starting catcher. The manager disagreed and wanted to stick with Maldonado (0.4 bWAR vs Vaz 2.1 bWAR with Red Sox that year). The disagreement was part of a public dispute which in turn helped lead the GM out the door in the offseason. Owner was squashing trades and the manager was not playing acquired players. Click decided he wanted no part of Astros culture. After the trade, Vaz had 108 PA's, Maldonado had 114.

That's not what I said, but ok.

OPS Johanfran Garcia 959 at Salem 1256 away Jhostynxon Garcia 775 at Salem 958 away Zanetello 659 at Salem 982 away
-
Bleis leaves Salem carrying a 16 game hit streak, 914 OPS in March. He should really tear the cover off the ball in Greenville as many batters struggle hitting in Salem (Bleis away OPS is 80 points higher).
-
Promotion train keeps chugging along... @alexspeier Red Sox are promoting outfield prospect Miguel Bleis from Salem to Greenville
-
I think it's lower for the others because they have to squeeze someone from each team onto the squad. That limits the types of pitchers that get put in the ASG. If the Sox were a wagon, they'd have more representation, but they are a .500 team. They'll probably have 2 players and that's it. If there's a third, it'll be Duran. Nobody else realistically has a shot.
-
OAA 28th percentile Arm 10th percentile -1 Fielding Runs (-3 last year)
-
I think they've offered him a contract and he's turned it down. He's either going to LA or back to tv for a little bit. He's going to get PAID if he takes a coaching gig.
-
1 - 7 Innings 1 ER 2 - 4 Innings 8 ER 3 - 7 Innings 2 ER Seems like just 1 bad game? Of course if we gave up 8 earned to the A's, we'd lose our minds. Would make sense if the Sox were a game above .500 though.
-
For Vaz, we got two guys ranked in the 20's on another team's prospect list. They wanted a starting catcher as they headed towards a World Series push. There's no way Jansen gets a top 5 prospect. I'm very dubious Pivetta would either. If I'm the Sox, I'd rather take a 12 and a 14 from a team for Pivetta than get a 6 or 7.
-
Houck is 34 innings away from matching his professional season high (all levels) for innings. It will be interesting to see how they manage him going forward. I'm not comfortable with him being the #1 until we can see him go 170 innings and not have an issue. He might hit that right before the ASB.
