    Is that because of his walk off HR, yesterday or his .692 OPS in his last 6 games? (To be fair, Duran has great numbers with any longer sample size than the last 6 games.)
  2. moonslav59
    Casas is hitting .837 in AA, and a small sample size at that. If every minor league player hitting .837 or better were called up on 6/21/21, there may not be any room for existing major leaguers. I'm not sure what separates him from others hitting very well, right now. I love the kid, and expect great things, too, but not every ,837 hitter is ready for the bigs.

    I didn't mean it as a slight on Duran. Jimenez has 4 years to improve his power. Maybe he waits to 24 to bulk up. I was just talking upside and "ceiling." I really like Duran. I get the feeling that just because I say I trust Bloom to know when he's ML ready, that is taken as a sign I don't like him as much as those who want him called up, right now. I have very high confidence and expectations for Duran, once he is called up. He changed his position, approach and work out regime. I'm thinking some time is needed to get into his new comfort zone. It looks like he's doing a great job on that front. It looks to me, like he's ready or very close to ready, but I trust Bloom knows more than I do, and I've never seen the guy play- even on TV. (Even if I did see him numerous times, Sox brass knows way more than I do about his readiness.)

    Chavis over Arroyo? No Renfroe love?
  5. moonslav59
    The top pitchers seem to be Leiter, Rocker and Jobe (HS). Jobe's stock is rising. Top position players seem to be Davis, and 3 short stops- Lawlar (HS), Mayer (HS), Watson (HS) (House being the 4th) Of these 7-8 players, only 3 are from college.
  6. moonslav59
    I'd like to see us get Davis or Leiter. Rocker is next. I'd be happy with a HS SS, but I don't want to wait so long.

    Jimenez is just 20, so when you talk "ceiling" it seems easier to think it's higher for younger players. He may never match Duran's power, which incidentally, he's really only shown this year, at age 24. It's a close call, and I am very high on both of them. Aldo is 2 years younger than Bello, so I can see ranking his ceiling higher.
  8. moonslav59
    I might go... Casas Bello Jimenez Duran (close to Jimenez)
  9. moonslav59
    I doubt the 3 you listed at the top, and the 3 I like most, will be gone at pick 4. Maybe that's just wishful thinking.
  10. moonslav59
    The real test is the first 18 games after the all star break. They bring us up to the trade deadline.
  11. moonslav59
    Minoeaguebaseball.com shows very different numbers.
  12. moonslav59
    He’s certainly making a strong case for another chance. Santana is helping, too.
  13. moonslav59
    So true, and that is one major flaw with the BTV site. One never knows how another GM values our marginal prospects. Sometimes you see trades like this that are head scratchers.
  14. moonslav59
    He won’t be up in August. I loved the Devers call up and timing of the call up, so I’m not sure where you are going with this. If Casals does get called up before I expect, I’ll be thrilled, and I’ll trust he’s ready and will do well. Better than Dalbec? Questionable but certainly possible, especially if Dalbec is slumping again, which he’d have to be for Casals to get a chance to play everyday with Boston.
  15. moonslav59
    Pure conjecture and IMO doubtful.
  16. moonslav59
    Exactly, that’s why I said “wish.” It would never be accepted, unless the BAL GM liked these guys more than we do.
  17. moonslav59
    Dalbec has better minor league numbers than Chavis and has been hot for 23 weeks. His “rope” has been lengthened. I also think Cordero is close to deserving a second long look-see.
  18. moonslav59
    The biggest stumbling block to making Whitlock a starter is Sale. IMO, we will need at least one starter by August 1st. Needing two is not such a sure bet, but “I figure the odds be 50-50.” If it turns out we don’t need him to start, it can’t hurt having a RPer that goes 4-6 innings every 4-6 days.
  19. moonslav59
    My idea of stretching him out would be to continually increase his workload until he can go 5-6 innings by August first.
  20. moonslav59
    I actually like Bello more than Downs. I wish they’d take Chavis, Groome, Ward and RHernandez.
  21. moonslav59
    I doubt we give up that much for that little control.
  22. moonslav59
    How many years does Mancini have under team control?
  23. moonslav59
    I don’t think it’s hard to stretch out a pitcher during a season, but the tricky part is to not max out his innings limit by August.
  24. moonslav59
    Bloom may like some, many or all of the pitching prospects he inherited, but chances are he like some much more than others.
  25. moonslav59
    Marwin sure has gotten a lot of PAs.
