Chris Hatfield said that Penrod didn’t really jump, but the others around him fell. Also, Meidroth leaped Cespedes due to proximity to MLB, missing dev time for Cespedes and ceiling vs floor debate.
-
They’ve said in the past that a reliever wouldn’t be top 20 and that seems to be Penrod’s future. IDK. Sometimes they get high on a guy and stay there. I have him above Wikelman too, but not Top 20.
-
Guys not on the 40 man that could be added: Penrod That might be it?
-
No reason to put Meidroth on the 40 man this season. They aren't required to add him until after next year. I like him, but seems like it would just add to a crowded 40 man. Would have to dump Romy or someone else. Why bother at this point?

How'd they do last time they met up? -
They'd say no to the first trade. They'd move Roberts I bet.
-
DFA Sims (on IL) and Option Shugart
-
A 40 man roster move would need to be made if Luis Guerrero is called up.
-
-
Knowing how long this thread will go, I bet some sort of injury will happen before we're done with the convo.
-
Hard to do anything more than a 2 for 1 trade unless you're adding in non-40 man guys. Only difference would be if the Sox are really blowing it up and trading legit starting pieces that are fitting on any roster and not middle relievers and backup role players.

"Well, if the Sox kept Sale, they had an option to keep him for 2025 so we'll just have to keep this thread going through 9/30/25!"
-
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.
-
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.

What the?!?!
-
It would be more about Devers falling below Duran than Duran passing Devers IMO.
-
I see him as a replacement for the David Hamilton bench role.
-
The only guy I've heard mentioned that has leadership qualities is Kyle Teel.
-
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.
