The pitchers they got last year have been mediocre to bad. They should have went with a few more ERC types which are further away, but have higher ceilings. When you load up on below slot guys, you're really just adding to the pigpen. I worry about the same thing with this draft.
-
Liu and Guerrero could turn into interesting late inning arms IMO. There's a lot of bats and not a lot of room on the BOS roster for them. Story's contract seemingly blocks one of the 2B/SS spots. Are they going to move Duran to LF? Will Verdugo be retained? Think outside the box and move Story to LF?
-
The O's went from perennial doormat to contender overnight. The Sox could get there quickly depending on how the farm matures and if they spend their money wisely.
-
They used to do draft and follow, but I believe that went away. I don't mind the shorter window.
-
They say they are close.
-
They have a good AAAA team. Just because they are winning games in AAA doesn't mean they have a good pipeline of talent ready to help BOS. Rick Lancelotti was mashing for the PAWSOX but wasn't going to be doing anything of note for the big club unless there was some sort of Donner Party/Andes Flight/Yellow Jacket incident.
-
Also, we all knew there was significant injury risk to how Bloom constructed this starting rotation. It's not a surprise that it's falling apart.
-
He can acquire a starting pitcher for sure. You just will not like the mileage on the arm.
-
Bieber can also be a stand in for any number of other trade pieces.
-
Perales has value now. I don't know if his value goes up or down, honestly. I just know that he'll take up space on the 40 man and the Sox have said they are looking to compete.
-
The Sox have a mish mash of low ceiling guys that include command/control with lower velo and funky delivery or higher velo and command issues. These are the guys that can impress early on in the system and flame out by the time they get to AAA.
-
If anything, they put Perales on the 40 man and Wikelman is available for the Rule 5 draft.

@tylermilliken_ The hype around Yoeilin Cespdes is growing by the day. 25 Games (DSL) .342/.371/.550/.920 4 HR 7 2B 11/5 K/BB “Already, Cespedes looks like one of the top hitting prospects to come through the organization’s academy since Rafael Devers” - @alexspeier
-
He's decent at building the farm. He's not good at building a competitive MLB roster. I think we can agree on those two points.
-
Aside from Rafaela and Abreu, there isn't much to take note of in WOO.
-
Most of the guys you mentioned aren't very good. Valdez is currently injured. Duran is called up. Murphy and Walter are in the BOS bullpen. None of the other names you mentioned offer any longterm solutions. If they left via MiLB FA, not much would be lost IMO. The talent is moving upwards through the system, but is currently in AA. The AAA squad is bad, especially the pitching.
-
The offer was good enough that Eovaldi came back to BOS and asked for the same offer after receiving the TEX offer. BOS said no.
-
He should probably be ahead of Rafaela. Bleis is injured and they tend to not ding prospects for that.
-
He deserves it.
-
Just to change the subject: @Phillies Additionally, RHP Noah Song, currently on the 60-day injured list with a low back strain, had his rehab assignment transferred from single-A Clearwater to double-A Reading. https://www.milb.com/player/noah-song-679977 Song is throwing in the low 90's, down from a few years ago. Once his rehab is up, he'll need to be put on the active roster or put back on the IL. Rumor is that DD is unwilling to give him up no matter what. Song's upside now may only be middle reliever going forward.
-
I believe Teel is a good framer though.
-
I hope he does. I'm just not counting on it.
-
They are moving guys quicker than they have recently. I'm not sure they are really ready to move Yorke yet. Can't move Bonaci until one of Yorke/Meidroth/Mayer is promoted. They would run out of AB's.
-
Teel's defense is supposed to be good enough to play the position.
-
I just don't think he's as high end as you do. He's not a top 100 guy. He might not be a top 200 guy.
