    We'll have to wait for SteAImer600 to do that.

    It's fine. Not like he's a bad prospect and we're trying to put a 30th ranked guy in the top 10.
  3. mvp 78
    I think they have another option year so they may just keep him around for SS/2B insurance until the kids are ready.

    To me, it makes sense to rank Meidroth ahead of Cespedes because Meidroth seems to have some MLB tools that could get him in games this week if the Sox wanted him there. He could fill in at 2B/3B/fake SS and show a decent batter's eye. Would he still have an 800+ OPS? Probably not. However, I'd bet that he could do better than Reyes' 716 from last year. If he's Brock Holtish in terms of production, that's a great outcome. Cespedes is a player without a position right now. It's undetermined if he can stay in the IF. If he moves to the OF, there's even more adjustment for the glove. His bat is good, but his body isn't going to fill out anymore than it already has. Is he on the Jasson Dominguez track where he can maximize his body type or is he just a bulky short guy? Right now, Cespedes is just so far away that almost anything could happen in his development. Meidroth is already on the doorstep.

    Move on? I think they have another 50 more pages of posting to get through before we can really get to the meat of the issue.

    The Ying Yang Twins of TalkSox.
  7. mvp 78
    What the?!?!
  8. mvp 78
    It would be more about Devers falling below Duran than Duran passing Devers IMO.
  9. mvp 78
    I see him as a replacement for the David Hamilton bench role.
  10. mvp 78
    The only guy I've heard mentioned that has leadership qualities is Kyle Teel.
  11. mvp 78
    At some point, his 866 OPS in AAA has to mean something. He's a solid player with a skillset that is clearly missing from the '24 Sox.

    If Lorenzen shows up to Sox camp, there's no telling what Bailey does to Lorenzen's elbow! Maybe the Sox are even worse trotting out Lorenzen as it pushes their Game 5 starter (Houck) to the pen for the year!
  13. mvp 78
    SEA also has a surplus of arms and may want a bat like Yoshida. OR NOT.
  14. mvp 78
    Meidroth with up arrow = TOP TEN LFG!!!
  15. mvp 78
    He's young and toolsy. Right now, I think there's an issue with Bleis' swing as he's hitting too many infield popups. I think scouts rushed to grade him too high too soon. I don't think he's the next Gilberto Jimenez/Antoni Flores to flame out though. He should at least show more promise and make his way through the system. Not sure he's going to meet the hype he once had though.

    So they end up at 81-81 instead of 78-84?
  17. mvp 78
    They want a team that is close enough to .500 to be seen as competitive. Would the currently injured Michael Lorenzen have made a real difference (5.00 FIP)?
  18. mvp 78
    If they were just slashing payroll, they wouldn't have signed Giolito. However, they still had 162 games to play and a roster to fill out. Funny how that works.
  19. mvp 78
    This is his Jacoby Ellsbury 2011 season. Sell high!
  20. mvp 78
    Giolito seemed more likely to be able to last a full season than Sale. The rest of the Sox arms didn't have the history to show that they could hold up over 162 and we have seen what has happened to them in the 2nd half.
  21. mvp 78
    They thought Grissom's cheap contract would outweigh the $$$'s spent on Sale in the short term.
  22. mvp 78
    @Brock Beauchamp, we tried to warn you. KC is trying to hand the WC spot over and the Sox absolutely don't want it. What are your thoughts on the Sox collapse this year as an outside observer? For us, this is the third year in a row where they've started planning their golfing trips in August.

    Click on the three dots in the upper right corner of your post and you should be able to delete it.

    That wouldn't have prevented them from drafting Campbell earlier OR in the 4th round anyway. If the scouts really liked him, they still would have grabbed him.
  25. mvp 78
    Well, I'm not sure if he can keep increasing the cost of the tickets. He is treating the Sox as a real estate investment, but that's at the expense of the MLB club itself. I think it eats into the overall value of the club more than he realizes. At some point, the Sox Nation stuff is oversaturated and people won't care anymore. They need to pander to their fans of a whole generation of people will simply stop caring or not learn to care.
