    There's a high variance for all prospects. Sox just do better with hitters for some reason. Since 1980: Hurst Boyd Clemens Lester Paplebon Buchholz Bello TBD vs Gedman Boggs Burks Greenwell Vaughn Valentin Nomar Nixon Pedroia Youk Ellsbury Mookie JBJ Xander Devers Beni Casas TBD

    We're competitive!

    2. Weird about Roman since Mayer was awful in AA and Roman was good in a SSS. 4. No, Rafaela will never fix his plate discipline. He will always swing at everything he can reach. 6. If they trade Verdugo, Abreu will be featured heavily for the '23 Sox IMO. I think he's fine as the 4th OFer since he can play all 4 positions. 7. No. 8. My guess is that '23 looks similar to '22 and that his bat is not transcendent. At least his glove is adequate now. I'd trade him. 9. He has a better chance to start than #7. 10. We won't know until '25 most likely. He'll most likely tear up the FCL. He won't see advanced pitching until Salem.

    That's why I want to trade Mayer (SS) for a pitcher. Also, if they drafted more pitchers, are we sure they would have been developed properly? Their pipeline hasn't really been great in my lifetime.
  5. mvp 78
    I never bought into it either. The smokescreen about him being a New Balance guy was DUMB.
  6. mvp 78
    And it's not that Mayer is a BAD prospect. He's still a good prospect. I just believe Anthony and Teel could be franchise type players. Maybe they don't pan out...
  7. mvp 78
    Prior to coming to BOS, he played 91% of every game. He also has a career 265 average and is signed through '27. Once Story's contract is closer to its conclusion, any number of prospects could be ready since the Red Sox HAVE DRAFTED AND SIGNED VIA IFA A METRIC f***TON OF SHORTSTOPS in the past few years (Zanetello, Cespedes, Anderson, Alcantara, Arias, etc.).
  8. mvp 78
    I'd hang onto Teel and Anthony. I think all the other prospects could be had in the right trade.
  9. mvp 78
    Gambrell could be an emergency starter if needed. I don't know if Penrod could do so reliably. More likely that Penrod is just thrown into a pen somewhere.
  10. mvp 78
    It's one thing that I don't know if I'll ever get over and I wasn't a Mookie superfan.
  11. mvp 78
    Would be deserving in this instance.
  12. mvp 78
    IDK, but we may find out.
  13. mvp 78
    Pitchfork time for me. I'd need to know who the decision maker was and there'd be some tar and feathering going on.
  14. mvp 78
    That'd probably be worse for Devers.
  15. mvp 78
    I wonder who the "they" was. My guess is that it wasn't DD.
  16. mvp 78
    It's not that the players are better or worse, it's that there is remaining theoretical value left on the contract/control. Whether the trades makes sense in reality is up to the respective FO's.
  17. mvp 78
    The tough part with Gambrell's age is that he missed 2020, was injured during '21 and missed all of '22. That's basically 3 years of lost development. He still has catching up to do so I wouldn't necessarily say he's reached his ceiling yet.
  18. mvp 78
    My trade proposal works according to our Lord and Savior BTV. If you add in Alvarez, the Sox need to throw in Anthony, Devers, Mayer and Bleis to make it work out.
  19. mvp 78
    It was when they decided to make the boneheaded move of ditching Mookie.
  20. mvp 78
    Gambrell really is another 5th starter at best. If he gets taken it's not really a big deal. He's most likely just an up and down guy. Penrod has such a SSS that nobody really knows what he can do. I can't fault the Sox for not protecting him especially with his control issues. Sox took a chance on a indy ball guy and he looked good for a few months, hard to see another team thinking that means he's MLB ready when he's only thrown 20 Innings in High A (4.96 xFIP). Both would be interesting to watch in '24 if they stay in the system, but if they are drafted I'm not concerned. Penrod would probably be returned. Gambrell just doesn't have a high ceiling so if he is gone for good it's no big loss.
  21. mvp 78
    Yeah, it was brought up before. High variance with him. Probably a guy a new GM wouldn't draft. It's just a Rule 5 pick, so no harm in bringing someone in for Spring Training.
  22. mvp 78
    I'm not sure if Bastardo is eligible for the MiLB portion, but if he's taken in the MLB portion he'll be returned 100%. I don't know why he's projected to be taken. Drohan at least is left handed and pitched well in AA. Aside from Drohan, I'm not really concerned about who is taken, even if it's Scott/Paulino/Castro.
  23. mvp 78
    Hit well in AA, but OPS'd under 800 in A+ this year and seems to be more DH than anything else. He was moved off of 1B/3B because he was pretty bad there. Was OF only in '23.
  24. mvp 78
    I'll take Henry over Jim Crane any day.
  25. mvp 78
    A second baseman to potentially replace Altuve and a reliever coming off an injury for Bregman and two starting pitchers. They'll take that, no cap.
