    Porcello and Verlander were called up to the major league rotation after 24 and 20 minor league starts, respectively. Verlander had 7 starts in AA, Porcello none. Neither ever saw AAA. People would lose their minds if that happened in Boston.
  2. Jack Flap
    Ok, I understand a little better now. Carry on.
  3. Jack Flap
    Are you really arguing over someone describing a 78-84 season as "not the greatest of times"?
  4. Jack Flap
    Maybe some people are, but that's kind of silly. Of course, no one ever thought Mookie would be an elite player in the major leagues until, suddenly, he was. Letting these kids play and finding out what they turn into is half the fun.
  5. Jack Flap
    The link from Soxprospects that I posted earlier talks about how he lacks the elite upside of a Bogaerts, Betts, or Moncada and should be more of a solid starting player who could make some AS teams in his peak years. He doesn't have to be a superstar to be a really valuable player, so hopefully no one is expecting that (and definitely not right out of the gate).
  6. Jack Flap
    I'd say he has "dominated" AA since June 1st (.316/.382/.574) after struggling for about half a month upon his initial call-up. Whether that makes him ready for the majors is a different question...and one that no one here is really qualified to answer.

    Nice write-up on Benintendi from SoxProspects: http://news.soxprospects.com/2016/08/transaction-analysis-breaking-down_2.html
  8. Jack Flap
    Perhaps not. It was evident pretty quickly that he didn't have much to learn in A ball. As one of the top college hitters coming into the draft, I'd rather have seen him pushed more aggressively through the lower levels in exchange for some more experience in AA/AAA, but so be it.
  9. Jack Flap
    I was surprised to see this happen so quickly, but if they believe he's ready, why not turn him loose? Love this stat: 2B+3B this year: 43 strikeouts: 39

    Prior to this season he was ranked 69th by BA, 36th by MLB.com, and 59th by BP. I believe he fell off most midseason lists due to the poor season he's having, but it's still a nice piece to get back for a 2-month rental. He's only a year removed from being the 4th overall pick in the draft.
  11. Jack Flap
    It's okay, we gave up a pretty Light package.
  12. Jack Flap
    Hopefully it was enough (looking at you, Pomeranz). I'm fine with saving Moncada, Benintendi, Devers, and the rest.
  13. Jack Flap
    Beltran to the Rangers for Dillon Tate, others. Another nice prospect pickup for the Yanks.
  14. Jack Flap
    Yeah, looks like 1:1, Light for Abad.
  15. Jack Flap
    Not yet. Shouldn't be too much, I imagine.

    @ken_Rosenthal: Source: #RedSox pushing hardest to acquire #WhiteSox’s Sale. No indication trade will happen. “Late-night talks,” per @bnightengale. @ken_Rosenthal: Asked a source how strongly I should pursue possibility of #RedSox acquiring #WhiteSox’s Sale. His response: “Don’t waste your time.” Gonna be a long afternoon.

    Between the two, I'd take Quintana as well - extra year of control, should be cheaper. Don't know if that's on the table right now or not.
  20. Jack Flap
    Was about to say the same thing. I think some people (not here, just in general) are still underestimating how good Devers can be.
  21. Jack Flap
    I think you hit the nail on the head. I always loathed that trade...huge missed opportunity. The Yanks are really doing the rebuilding thing right so far, much as I hate that from a RS fan perspective.
  22. Jack Flap
    I'm glad I don't have to make that call. The White Sox have been rumored to like Benintendi a lot...if he was the primary piece in the deal, it would depend on what else is going, IMO.
  23. Jack Flap
    Definitely. I don't think Dave D. is one to be caught napping like that.
  24. Jack Flap
    These Sale rumors won't die... @BNightengale The Boston #RedSox had late-night talks with the #WhiteSox about Chris Sale. If Sale is moved, #RedSox and #Dodgers are likely destinations.
  25. Jack Flap
    If Buch is capable of being an effective reliever, then he'll have value down the stretch, either to us or someone else. No reason to give him away.
