I found this "consensu ranking list, which averages out Soxprospects, BA, BaseballProspectus, Law and fangraphs: https://www.overthemonster.com/2022/1/24/22898832/red-sox-top-prospects-2021-marcelo-mayer-triston-casas-nick-yorke-jarren-duran-bryan-mata I put a space between big gaps. 1. Mayer 1.8 2. Casas 2.0 3. Yorke 2.6 4. Duran 4.5 5. Bello 5.6 6. Downs 6.6 7. Mata 9.4 8. Groome 9.8 9. Jordan 10.6 10. Jimenez, Walter, Gonzalez 11.4 13. Seabold 13.4 14. Blies 14.6 15. Winckowski 16.2 16. R Hernandez 17.0 17. Lugo 18.6 This list seems pretty reasonable, and the gaps as well.
-
Jimenez and McDonough seem to be higher than other ranking sites.
-
Well, the Gonzalez ranking goes against the sooner call-up theory. I think after Mayer, Casas and Yorke, it's pretty much a guessing game.
-
Same here. If Wacha or Hill suck, we could see both starting by May.
-
I could see that deal for Manaea, Pache and Trivino (accepted by BTV) but they will get better for Montas. Maybe Peraza, Garcia & Voit for Montas & Piscotty would be accepted by the A's. It was by BTV,
-
His numbers may explode at Coors. Maybe that's what he cares about most. Nice city, too.
-
Matt Duffy to LAA for only $1.5M. Hmmm....
-
Glad we did on him, assuming we even kicked the tires.
-
If you guys are so low on Voit, why would OAK want him so badly, even if paid for by NY? You're not getting Monats for Peraza & Voit.
-
II totally respect that view and see several reasons to choose Houck over Whitlock. It's nearly a 50-50 choice, to me.
-
Adding Diekman puts us at 40 on the 40 man roster. Paxton will go on the 60 IL. Maybe Sale, too.
-
Reds say they are not trading Castillo or Mahle. Expect a deal, shortly. The Royals, yes the ROYALS, just signed Greinke to $13M/1 with $2M incentives. MLBTR reports Joe Ross was placed on the 60 day IL to make roster space on the Nats 40 man. I thought teams couldn't do that until opening day. Did that change or am I misremembering, again?
-
I don't recall. Then, we heard only west coast teams. I'm still thinking he might have chosen us, if we offered more. I just think Bloom has a lower value placement than other GMs or his limited spending budget is forcing his frugality.
-
You might want to know Whitlock is 18 days older than Houck, so maybe your "as young and inexperienced" statement needs revising, too. On "experience," Houck has 13 more innings in the bigs. Minors: 205 Whitlock 270 Houck Not a big difference there, either, but still significant.

lol
-
Pitches per PA 3.86 Whitlock 4.02 Houck
-
Interesting note: pitches thrown in 2021: 1150 Whitlock 1149 Houck
-
Sorry, my eyesight is toast. I thought it said 7+ inning DH's. My bad. My new glasses are worse than I had B4. Going back to the doc, soon. Sorry.
-
I'm fine with it not matching my opinion, and I've said I'm fine with the Houck choice. I've given my reasons why I prefer Whitlock, and I respect the argument of GS'd experience working in Houck's favor. Will you be terribly upset, if Cora chooses Whitlock over Houck? It may ultimately come down to who looks better in ST'ing and most ready by the time a 5th starter is needed. Hell, someone else might get hurt and both start.
-
Houck had 4 starts in 2020. Does that make him a clearer choice than Whitlock? Yes, Houck has 13 GS'd in the bigs. That's a big plus in his favor, but Whitlock has some things in his favor, too- like a decent and proven 3rd pitch. It's a close call, right? Career numbers Houck 86 IP (less than 13 IP more than Whitlock) 163 ERA+ 2.71 FIP (slightly better than Whitlock) 1.08 WHIP .580 OPS against (Better than Whitlock) Worse minor league numbers (4.17 ERA/1.39 WHIP) Whitlock 73.1 IP 241 ERA+ (almost 80 points better than Houck) 2.84 FIP 1.05 WHIP (slightly better than Houck) .631 OPS against Better minor league numbers (2.41 ERA/1.16 WHIP) Do you at least think it's a close call, and if not why not?
-
But Pivetta is our #2 or 3, now.
-
I thought they were super high. Adding Eovaldi & Pearce helped a lot, though.
-
Apparently, the Rays are offering the world on a 1 year deal. I'd prefer we not outbid them for a 1Bman.
-
I've answered I'd take all these teams rotations over ours. My point was that very few have more than just one sure-fire & solid SP'er with no of very few question marks.
-
I thought they did away with 7 inning Doubleheaders.
