Moncada might be the one player that I would not include in a trade for anyone. Based on what he has done and what he looks like, he may be one of those very special players that don't come along very often. He looks like a linebacker, runs as well as the best base stealers and hits for power. Don't trade Moncada. When you see him with his teammates in Portland, he just doesn't fit the picture.

This sucks and it sucks worse when you look at both Pawtucket and Portland. O pitching on the way. -

I could not agree with you more and I am as guilty as the next guy when it comes to looking for that next best thing. 700's eye test works for me. Seeing them up close can tell us a lot. I actually kind of like the Romanski kid in Portland behind the plate. He had a long night last night because their pitching sucks so badly. Sounds familiar i think.

Benintendi is smooth very smooth but he doesn't look as big as the stats say he is. He and Dubon are comparable in size. He is small - wiry but certainly not compact. Once again, he is talented but he needs time to physically mature before he is close to being ready. Moncada is a physical specimen. It will be very interesting to see what they do with him. The Seadogs have 3 propects playing second base and ss without Moncada as it is. If they move him off second base, I think that that will tell us a little about what they see as his potential time line to get to Boston. At the present time, it looks like they are stuffed with second base ss type players. I will add that watching them stand in line up close and personal, if you were asked to pick the best looking athlete on the field, you would have no trouble picking Moncada. He is what they all say he is.

It really is beautiful. The coastal communities are a little too crowded for me but they are beautiful. I'm from rural western Maine. I've only left for short periods of time. When I do change residencies, it will absolutely just be for tax purposes. Hadlock field is also a great place to watch baseball. if we were just a little closer, we would have season's tickets.
-
Come on - don't forget about me up here Spud. You've turned me into a Swihart fan. I would not trade him. After watching Vazquez - after seeing Benintendi- Swihart's value is greater than most of us think.
-
not alone at all - I thought that they would get to 85. I actually think that they still will but they have needs.
-
I think that it would be wrong even if it was possible. Have you seen these kids play? They very well might become good major leaguers but in no way are they ready just yet. Personally, it is quite possible that I am guilty of over rating some of these prospects once again.
-
Ain't that just the way we like it! Come up sometime for a little visit. You are always welcome up here in vacationland.
-
Meant to say enjoyed watching Dubon. Also - comparing Swihart physically with Benintendi is a joke. Swihart looks like a power lifter by comparison.
-
screw the ocean and Portland too Spud. Get about one hour away from Portland, Mass, (north) and you get into the heart of Maine. Seadogs just aren't very good. Moncada, Dubon, and Benintendi will help though. over watching Dubon even though he looks to be about 15. He is happy and has a very good glove. curious to see what they do with Moncada. Sharing time with someone at second base shouldn't be in his future.

Brentz gets a chance because he deserves a chance.
-
Betts is compact and solid - Benintendi doesn't look to be that.
-
No one is guilty of doing that. Bottom line - he might be 5'10" I guess maybe but he is a pant load away from 180. No judging at all here just stating obvious observations. You have your opinion for sure and I'm stating what I saw. Like I have said earlier, if trading him would help to bring us a great young pitching prospect, I would do it yesterday.
-
After seeing Benintendi tonight, I think that I agree with Spud on this one. Unless you go out and get someone else to play left, a combination of Young and Swihart or the other way around might be the best case scenario. I don't see Benintendi leap frogging over Swihart anytime soon. Moncada on the other hand is a different story i think. he may very well force the Sox hand. Unless they plan to dh him(just a joke) they may very soon have to figure out where he will in fact play. Physically he just looks a lot closer to being ready than Benintendi.

Yikes - Wasn't prepared for what I saw in Portland. There really isn't a whole lot there. I was surprised to see Dubon at short. I haven't been paying attention. I think that he will be a nice player but he has a lot of growing to do. He looks years away from the the big time. Benintendi is obviously gifted - very smooth with great range in the field. He is very fluid at the plate and is a contact hitter. Personally I wish that he looked just a little more enthusiastic to be here. I also did not realize how small he is. He looks more like a marathoner than a big time major league prospect. Moncada sadly did not play but physically he definitely stands out. His body looks major league ready right now. My first impression tells me that out of this group, you have to try to keep Moncada. Wish I had seen him play but he has a powerful body at a young age. he has done some serious work already.
-
it has always been about the bat with Leon. As a catcher, there hasn't been much if any difference between vazquez and leon. with him, it has always been about the bat.
-
I would move on him right now. Myers - Bradley - Betts Outfield dilema (left field) solved for a very long time.
-
obvious to me that sooner or later Brentz would at least get an opportunity. He has earned it. i actually like the new concept - reward those who earn a reward. He probably won't hang around, but he deserved the chance.
-
You're a good one. I'm looking forward to getting down to Portland to see them this weekend. Obviously Moncada and Benintendi get the headlines, but more often than not somebody else appears down there that no one talks much about.
-
Now that he is in Portland, I think they will eventually have (key word here is eventually) to move him from second to somewhere else if they intend to keep him. Third and an outfield position look like the best bets.
-
hey seriously, Red was the best of them all plus he did it without the drugs
-
ty Spud - I've seen some really great ones go through Portland over the years. These two could some day be right up there with the best of them.
-
Heading down to the big city this weekend. Have to see Moncada and Benintendi. Glad to see that they both will get a good touch of Maine at least for a little while.
