I could see Paredes getting moved, but HOU would still leave Cam Smith in the OF where he's playing tremendous defense.
Chapman's bat is in serious decline. He's hit well for SF before so we can't blame it on the location. It's the age. I don't see the point in the addition.
I'm not sure Bo is a good fit for Fenway, but he wouldn't be here long term. What's the point in bringing a guy here if he's just going to opt out? Feels like this season is kind of a lost season anyway.
Semien has a very pull happy swing that could work here. Sox would definitely be getting a guy close to retirement rather than prime Semien. Even his defense has fallen off this season. If his defense was still at least average, I'd give it a shot. He's going to fall off a cliff quickly. A guy that could have had some really big seasons if he played here earlier in is career.
That's the only point we're trying to make. They chose the wrong guy to deal, unless the ChiSox were adamant about Teel, though they already had a highly ranked C at the time (Quero).
Having them trade the MiLB Player of the Year instead of a guy ranked in the teens for the org is kinda crazy don't you think? Swapping those two doesn't make sense. If you want to move KC, get more value than a return of a guy well outside the top 100.
He sees 4.09 pitches per plate appearance. The only '26 Red Sox to see more are Anthony, Monasterio and Narvaez. 10 of 15 Red Sox hitters see a below league average amount of pitchers per plate appearance.
Thanks @Nick John
Seigler is an interesting player. He's ambidextrous and can play all 9 positions. Not sure how well his bat will translate to MLB, but seems like a chill dude.
Campbell increasing his FB rate this season is definitely a good thing. The under the hood stuff looks a lot better than it did last season.
I liked Meidroth when he was in the org. I was higher on him than SoxProspects was. Thought he could at least be a good UTIL guy for them since the Red Sox didn't see him as a starter.
Development is not linear. They have already invested heavily in Campbell and believe Marcelo is worth more than Ketel Marte. Let's see where they are in a few years rather than relying on faulty ZiPS (who projects Contreras to only have 13 HR's this season and 1.7 fWAR and he already has 11 and 1.8).
