Red Sox (Suarez) vs Rockies (Freeland): 6/24/26, 3:10pm
FredLynn replied to Brock Beauchamp's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
None of that matters. What matters is that we move up a notch in our quest to be the worst team in all of baseball and securing the top pick. It’s best if all those injured players stay out of sight for the rest of the year. This franchise absolutely sucks -
Well there is that.............
-
More little league baseball. Unwatchable outta here

Would you rather have the #1 pick or the #30 pick? The 5 or the 25? I take the higher pick in an every circumstance. You would too.
-
I kinda don’t want to go through the list right now. Other than to give him a B+ for dumping Devers. He’s an incredibly self centered player who I wouldn’t want on my team at all. Not sure if you have been following how self centered he has been in SF lately. He refused to come out of a game recently when the manager came to remove him for a pinch runner, waving the manager away. But since you agree with me about the draft position being meaningful then why not plan for the best possible future by losing as many of these meaningless games as possible? I always want what’s best for the team and this year it means losing.

The bottom large font bold print is a statement of fact without presenting the data. Its a summary of the data. Its also common sense that, in general, higher draft picks will tend to do better as pros. Otherwise why even have a draft order? Why not just let all the teams pick a number out of a hat?
-
I think that Breslow is history and that I am hopeful ownership chooses a new GM that can make better choices. Breslow has made a few good decisions, but too few IMO.
-
I gave you the facts. You didn't like them. Too bad. For the purposes of review since your memory seems to be short: To determine if higher baseball draft picks tend to be better, consider the following points: Historical data shows that higher draft picks often have better career statistics. Top picks usually come from elite college programs or high school talent, indicating higher skill levels. Teams invest significant resources in scouting and analysis, favoring top prospects. Many successful MLB players were high draft picks, but not all top picks succeed. Injuries and development paths can impact a player's career, regardless of draft position. Overall, while higher picks tend to have better outcomes, exceptions exist.
-
Not a bit. Not only do you have to draft high but you also must make good choices as to who you draft. The FLOPS have sucked at that.
-
It’s not my intent to do anyone any favors. Just pointing out the facts to those who are open to digesting them.

Its an odds thing, not a guarantee. This (below) is from an AI search when I asked the question "do higher draft picks tend to perform better than lower draft picks": "To determine if higher baseball draft picks tend to be better than lower picks, consider the following points: Historical data shows that higher picks generally have better career statistics. Top picks often come from elite college programs or high school talent, indicating higher potential. Teams invest more resources in scouting and evaluating higher draft picks. Higher picks usually receive larger signing bonuses, attracting more commitment to development. Success rates for higher picks in reaching the majors are significantly higher than for lower picks. However, there are notable exceptions where lower picks have outperformed higher ones." Just lose baby...just lose!
-
One that is well paid perhaps?
-
Yes Fire BresLOW and get a GM who actually knows what he is doing. . PAY FOR top talent on the FA market. Make trades that are likely to help the team. And PAY FOR the talent we already have to stay put while not handing out stupid extensions to players of questionable value. Cut bait with the deadwood on the team immediately. Id make an excellent GM I think.
-
It’s kinda silly to deny that the higher the draft pick the better the chance of choosing a more talented player. It’s why there is a draft order rather than all teams just picking a number out of a hat. Is it a guaranteed that if you have a high draft pick you’ll get a top talent? Of course not. It’s a matter of odds. The higher the pick the higher the likelihood that the player will contribute more. So….JUST LOSE BABY! LOSE!
-
I’ll take my chances with a top five pick and you can take your chances with a bottom five pick. Chances are I’ll come out ahead most times.
-
Apparently better than you do
-
You realize that between the #1 pick and the # 30 pick there are 28 players, generally in descending levels of regarded talent. Right?
-
No thanks. I’ll simply say that there is an order in the draft for a reason with the teams with the worst records choosing ahead of those with better records. That way the worst teams have access to the more highly regarded players eligible. Otherwise why not just make it random? You know, pick a number. This is why it’s so important to lose as many games as possible for the rest of the year. You know, TANK. It’s a lost season anyway so it’s best to plan for the future.
-
Wrongaybe it’s a crapshoot between # 10 and # 15, but getting a top five pick has a higher likelihood of choosing a player with more talent than a #20. So LOSE BABY LOSE!
-
A shame? It’s a blessing.
-
Yes! Another loss! Moving up in that draft order….it’s what is best.
-
The Flops may have found their equal!
-
A ringing endorsement! I can’t take much of these bums. Only when I get bored watching the paint dry then I’ll flip on the game..

A Realistic Look at the 2026 Red Sox: Part I
FredLynn replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
Well of course! We not only need to spend a lot more money but we need to spend it wisely. That doesn’t mean nailing it every time but despite a few good moves BresLOW has sucked at his job. He’ll be gone after the season is over
