    Uh huh. DD wasn't the guy who let Lester go.
  2. mvp 78
    He was fine from 16-18.

    Latest SoxProspect podcast downplayed promotions to AAA for Teel/Mayer/Anthony. Teel: don't want to get rid of the MLB depth guys just yet though Teel is ready Mayer: hasn't shown he can hit LHP, also a lot of MLB depth guys in the IF in AAA Anthony: probably won't be ready for MLB early on in 2025 so no reason to rush him to AAA

    Wehunt was also promoted to GRE

    Ok? I don't think about Mookie except when I log in here or look at baseball cards.

    I think they sometimes jump on a hype train too quickly. Drohan in '23 (6 was too high IMO, 28 prior July) Seabold in '22 Jimenez in '20 Flores in '19

    19 - 663 OPS COVID 21 - 702 OPS 22 - 830 OPS (GRE) 23 - 678 OPS 24 - 1069 OPS It's not too surprising he yo-yo'd. He was a high pick when the farm sucked, so he started off high. They gave him the benefit of the doubt for a few years as he was signed young, but through 2021, he hadn't done much. He bounced back with a decent year in 22. He started 22 at 29th, but was pushed up to 15th midseason and stayed there for awhile. He dropped back down once he showed that he couldn't hit in 23 and was completely moved off of SS, which really hurt his profile. I think he bounces back again, but not to the teens quite yet because the system is much better now and the defense is no longer there. He would really have to rake to be higher than 20 and show it in AAA. I think him getting anywhere higher than 25 is a huge win.

    Anderson has been awful. I know they still like him, but if he was drafted a few years ago, he'd be working out and waiting for Lowell to start. Lugo was a 50/50 split between 3B/LF last season. He's now completely entrenched in LF. With all the injuries, there'll be room for him to play anywhere in WOO.

    On offense: Volpe Stanton Judge Soto Pitching: Cole (DNP) Cortes/Stroman/Rodon/Gil/Schmidt Sox only have Devers and Casas (out) that can compete with the Yanks offensively. Houck and Crawford have pitched as well as the Yankees rotation, but everyone else has been less than. Yankees have a higher payroll. Red Sox did a bad job developing players under Ben and DD. With Bloom, a lot of strides were made, but he drafted HS guys that took longer to develop so they just aren't ready yet. Also, there was no focus on pitching at all until Breslow. Sox are just hopelessly behind right now. It will take a few more years. No reason to be permanently pissed about it since we can't fix the problem ourselves.

    Oh and today is Opening Day for the DSL. We did it! We made it all the way there!
  11. mvp 78
    Consider who he's been throwing with. 2/30
  12. mvp 78
    Yankees are good this year. Red Sox are not good this year. This is unsurprising to all of us.
  13. mvp 78
    I know they've been down on Meidroth ever since he's been drafted but the Sox have him playing all over the field and he's still getting on base. I think he's going to get a shot to be a UTIL guy at some point. I don't know if the bat will play with the extreme lack of power, but we'll see.
  14. mvp 78
    I think 25 is probably a little high for Lugo. The way I look at the standings is would I trade #25 for #26? Lugo is really a LF only glove now, which really hurts his profile and was repeating a level after struggling mightily for a full year. I don't think they'd push him really really hard. I think being cheeky and putting him at 31 is fine for now.
  15. mvp 78
    That only makes you feel better about him leaving.
  16. mvp 78
    A horse who has never thrown 180 innings.
  17. mvp 78
    Only 4 pitchers last season got 4 seasons or more: Ohtani, Hicks, ERod and Nola. I don't think he's getting to 4 years.
  18. mvp 78
    Still not out yet. I would say: no change to top 3 Perales to 6 Meidroth is 11 Campbell is 12 Yorke is 13 Elmer to 14 Antonio Anderson into the 30s Penrod to 21 Early to 25 Jhostynxon and Wehunt into the 20s Lugo to #30
  19. mvp 78
    Lugo promoted to WOO. Campbell promoted to POR.
  20. mvp 78
    Great pick by Smith.
  21. mvp 78
    No, he’s just not a good control pitcher.
  22. mvp 78
    Rafaela has an arm. A few nice throws today.
  23. mvp 78
    Hamilton needing to crowhop from short.
  24. mvp 78
    Patented big inning for Bello?
  25. mvp 78
    He let Theo do his thing and let DD do his thing for a very short term. Otherwise, he hasn't really "let them do their thing."
