    MLB.com article for December 2019, a poster over at SoxProspects posted this.... Giants: Christian Arroyo, INF -- A first-round pick in 2013, Arroyo enjoyed a steady a climb through San Francisco’s system, hitting well at every stop en route to his big league debut in ’17. Since then, however, Arroyo has twice been included in trades, as he was shipped to the Rays in the December 2017 for Evan Longoria, then flipped to the Guardians in a smaller deal before the 2019 Trade Deadline. Altogether, the 24-year-old has compiled a .215/.280/.342 batting line with six homers in the Majors (70 games). Moon, article was about Biggest MLB prospect busts....Owens was Sox's. Wasn't he your favorite at one time? There's still hope for Cordero.

    Danny Santana, 1B: 0-3, 1 BB, 1 R, 1 K Good to see that Santana is approaching his old self in his latest rehab stint.

    SoxProspects write up on Houck.....pretty right on, don't you think? Summation: Potential late-inning reliever, with a chance to develop into a back-end starter if his splitter develops to complement his slider and he refines his fastball command. Could also succeed in a multi-inning relief role. Will likely struggle to turn over a lineup of major league-quality hitters with his current pitch mix and mechanics. Arm slot and fastball-slider combination make him extremely difficult on right-handers, but his low arm slot and lack of a third pitch give him trouble against lefties. Splitter is a new addition to his arsenal, but it has shown potential against left-handed hitters, which will be vital to chances stick in the starting rotation. Has the size and demeanor you look for in a pitcher; able to bear down when necessary.

    Moon, he was a 1st round pick in 2017. It's going to be hard to split hairs on all of our guys as to who gets credit. I'm no sure how much change DD implemented when it came to analytics and such. Let's face it, he was a big picture guy. Big trades, big FA signings. Bloom came up in organization where little things mattered. Best thing about Bloom is he can now develop talent and we have the money to keep that talent. I'm NOT arguing with you.

    Yep, on paper I thought we had a pretty good team heading into 2019.

    I like this Bloom guy......Christmas in July. The Red Sox have completed their Jan. 18 trade that sent infielder C.J. Chatham to the Philadelphia Phillies. Boston acquired 21-year-old right-handed pitching prospect Victor Santos from Philadelphia on Saturday. Santos, who just turned 21 on July 12, has a 3.05 ERA (20 ⅔ innings, seven earned runs), 1.02 WHIP and .227 batting average against in four starts for Double-A Reading this year. The 6-foot-1, 191 pounder from the Dominican Republic began the season at High-A Jersey Shore where he posted a 1.33 ERA (20 ⅓ innings, three earned runs), 1.08 WHIP and .221 batting average against in nine outings (one start). He has impressive control. He has averaged 8.2 strikeouts and 1.3 walks per nine innings in 254 ⅔ innings in the minors.

    You'll never know if he can hit major league pitching until he actually appears in major league games. I'm grateful that in the midst of pennant race, we're able to watch and assess our younger players.

    Fyi...Bloom is not the GM

    Enigma...how will the Yankees rebuild? They do have an ace in G Cole, $36M for another 7 years. Stanton is already getting booed...$25M tax hit for another 6 years. (he's actually getting paid north of that) Gary Sanchez...how much longer will he catch? A3 looming this year. LeMahieu...$15M a year for another 5 years....looks like an overpay for singles hitter at age 32. Wasn't Torrez the next great shortstop? They dodged a bullet with Kluber....one year deal ....health concerns, no? Aaron Judge..making $10.75M this year, probably get to $18-$20M for A3? It's going to cost Yankees $30M at some point. Would he ever want to leave NY? Go to say.......the Dodgers?

    The Yankees look finished New York Post Headline

    Because Renfroe is steal threat...
  13. Nick
    He was pulled from his schedule start three days ago so I wouldn't be surprised to see him in 9th with 4 run lead. Give Barnes another day off.
  14. Nick
    I don't disagree with you...

    TANNER TIME....the team already looks better. Moon did call it but Arroyo now .800 OPS, 4th on the team. All 3 OF's behind him. I think he's little bigger than Pedey and stronger.
  16. Nick
    It's TANNER TIME
  17. Nick
    He looks pleased with himself on 3 long outs......he's still 0-3
  18. Nick
    Dalbec has no chance
  19. Nick
    Moon, Arroyo OPS just jumped to .800
  20. Nick
    In all seriousness, latest development will prevent the Yankees from making stupid trades. Keep the young players, stay under luxury tax. That was the point in trading Ottavino to the Sox, no?
  21. Nick
    What do we do if Duran wins one of OF spots? Arroyo > Kike?
  22. Nick
    I heard Judge is out 10 days....if true, that's 6 vs Sox.
  23. Nick
    Great lineup today against a lefty. No Marwin, No Santana. Let's put the damn Yankees out of their misery. Time to step on their throats.

    I am curious from strategy standpoint why we would have Arroyo work out at 1B. Does he have a reverse split or something? This is an organization that's having Cordero work out at 1B (apparently his first position was as a shortstop I've been told). Is it so far fetched to work out Duran at 1B? I was half ass joking when I made the comment. So if we play Duran in CF, Kike at 2B and Arroyo at 1B, why are we keeping Dalbec? No one but me thinks it's odd? Dalbec is not only platooning but he's also held out from hitting certain left handers? It's also interesting that many here, including Bloom has commented 1B is the easiest position to learn to play. But it's a tough position to master for one young man apparently.

    It was a rare contest under the lights for the FCL Sox, and the on-field events were worthy of the event. Connor Seabold, out since the start of the season with right elbow inflammation, took the mound in a rehab start against fellow rehabbing hurler Chris Archer. Seabold, currently ranked 6th in the system, went 2 2/3 innings, allowing two runs on one hit. Seven of the eight outs he recorded were via strikeout. Seabold also walked three and hit a batter. A trio of relievers followed, with Wilkelman Gonzalez the most impressive. Gonzalez was perfect over five innings, striking out nine batters. Will Seabold be called up later this year?
