    Clearly it's about Rafaela.

    Field: After spending most of his career at shortstop, moved to third base in August 2022 in what appears to be a full-time transition off of short, or close to it. Was inconsistent defensively at shortstop. Would flash soft hands and fluid actions in the field, but also would also miss a routine play. At third base, he shows average range, but is a little stiff and upright in the field. Looks more comfortable at third base than shortstop. Bad decision-making also leads to errors on plays where he would be better suited to just hold the ball. Potential average defender at third base. He was still 21 when they transitioned him off SS. Maybe they just saw the writing on the wall with Mayer, Paulino and others in the system and wanted to relieve the logjam? They haven't really mentioned his OF defense. The next podcast should be interesting.

    Campbell completely deserves it. He's been great and his position diversity will allow him a quicker track to the bigs. I agree about Meidroth. ERnoC may pass Wikelman next month. Jordan and Yorke falling is just sad for that draft class.

    Well, I think there just isn't a real big difference between a lot of these guys. The rankings are really squishy as guys can move up and down. I think once you get to the top 10 or so, it's a little more solid. I don't think the difference between Arias at 21 and Jhostynxon at 33 isn't really anything at all. It's a judgement call. Also, he was probably pushed to low last season. They held onto Jimenez as a top guy for too long. I think they overcorrected with Lugo by pushing him out of the top 60.

    Perales is deserving of the 4 spot IMO. He's dominated this year. Bleis has been just fine, but hasn't really had the performance that pops out at you. Cespedes doesn't seem to have a position yet.

    The Lugo jump is crazy. He's having a good year, but c'mon. He's OF only now. I wonder what the metrics are pointing to?
  8. mvp 78
    ChiSox have lost 14 in a row. They are due to turn it around!
  9. mvp 78
    I'm surprised, but not surprised the SoxProspect faves Sandlin and Castro didn't fall a little in the latest ranking. I think they are both a little too high. I'd put Sandlin at 13 after Lugo and Castro at 16 after Rodriguez.

    So much for his anti-BOS bias.

    3rd percentile walk rate 10th percentile whiff rate 2nd percentile chase rate 3rd xWOBA 9th Av exit velo 20th k % 28th hard hit % 34th barrel % You ain't got no alibi you ugly!

    Yeah, we're all waiting.

    Niko's OPS is going the wrong direction the last 15 games or so.
  15. mvp 78
    Team would have been so much better with Story's defense at short even if Casas was out with injury. That one simple fix would have made a big difference.
  16. mvp 78
    I didn't realize how horrible Troye had been pitching. Seems like Alcantara will never hit. Shame. I never noticed the arrows before. Thank you for pointing them out.
  17. mvp 78
    Do they drop Castro or Hickey at all? Bastardo falls? Hoppe? Penrod maybe gets pushed up?
  18. mvp 78
    To have him jump to #20 or higher is wild IMO. I want to hear what they think has change with them. Not just blah blah blah isn't linear... Antonio Anderson drops 30?
  19. mvp 78
    Pitchers in AAA aren't as good as they are in MLB.

    @OverTheMonster Craig Breslow Vows to Pick a Lane at Trade Deadline In each of the past two seasons, the Red Sox approached the trade deadline with records that were more or less right around .500. This led to some confusing moves by former chief Chaim Bloom, who seemed to struggle with the choice to either push for the postseason or build for the future. This year, the Sox will likely again be right around .500, but new chief Craig Breslow hopes to avoid the muddy path that Bloom took, saying that, while they haven’t yet decided on what path they’ll take, the Sox plan to “pick a lane” this time.

    @SamDykstraMiLB Matthew Lugo's second Triple-A homer left the bat at 111.2 mph and went 428 feet. That's the second-highest exit velocity on a @WooSox homer this season (Mark Kolozsvary, 112.2). Only Triston Casas (111.9) has hit a homer harder for the #RedSox in 2024.

    Breslow spoke on the @BNightengale report about the Red Sox being determined to deal Kenley Jansen: “I don’t actually know where that came from… I would not say anything with certainty right now. We’ve got plenty of baseball left.”

    Not sure Chase has hit many balls 100 mph.
