Throwing prospects at the wall and seeing which one sticks. A lot of the MIF prospects recently have had to move off position and/or haven't reached their potential. Eventually, one should work out.
Meidroth is feasting on the automated ball/strike system in AAA. His OBP is up almost 60 points from last season. BB's are up, K's are down. Don't know if he could carry that into MLB unless the ABS follows him.
That's why it's important to worry about beating the Royals as they are team you're playing this week and can actually impact in the standings. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
Conceivable, but unlikely. You could sell me on the Sox going 4-2 and the Yanks going 2-4 over the next 6.
Putting more room between the Sox and Royals in the Wild Card race before the trade deadline may be more important than catching the Yanks.
At least let him have sustained success for the rest of the year and be happy about 2024 going into 2025. Then give him a real shot to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. That seems fair to me.
And that's the entire infrastructure from DSL up through BOS. It wasn't just adding one guy. They made some sweeping changes that could have bigger impact down the road.
Red Sox are 49-40 and in the playoff hunt. I think it could be much worse for them if you want to be honest. If Grissom doesn't work out at all, it's not the end of the world. Posters were joking about "full throttle" all offseason. That the Sox are playing good baseball is a godsend. What Sale does in ATL is irrelevant.
