    Ceddanne has a much higher OBP in the second half, but with lower walk rate. Barely 2%. It's because hes dropping hits and getting hit.
  2. Hugh2
    Not sure how much of a chance he really has, but his lagging Fwar is lacking (or at least partially) due to his early struggles at SS. Which, he was there for necessity and probably better than other options they had at the time. Kind of unfair to him but it is what it is.

    Best two Soxprospects podcast. Baseball isn't boring.
  4. Hugh2
    Fair

    No, those were the injuries that occurred in 2023 that started this all, when Mookie Betts played right field but also started over 70 games in the infield (mostly 2nd at the time). This is when he started to move back to the infield, NOT this year. It Lux being injured and not having an arm that moved him to SS for 2024.
  6. Hugh2
    The injuries were Miguel Rojas, Chris Taylor, and Gavin Lux. All guys LA was trying to plug in up the middle. Kind of the same situation here, not because of injury, but because of need. Still, if the Sox are plugging Duran in the infield in 2025 then it's because EVERYTHING went right in the outfield with Rafaela/Anthony/Abreu/REF ++++ and EVERYTHING went wrong in the infield with Mayer/Story/Campbell. Again, I don't think this is very realistic at all, certainly not likely, call it a slow day point of contention. But yet I still have this feeling like someone is about to come in here and tell us about how the facts are indisputable any second.

    Yes, I listen to all the soxprospects stuff as well, there's a reason why those guys STILL have him ranked ahead of his brother. If all he was, was a bat that would not be the case. yes, there's a risk he can move off the position, and his athleticism will have to be kept in check, but you act like it is a certainty or very likely. Or at least, that's the impression I'm getting, maybe that is not your stance, in which case I apologise. And if that is the case.....I REALLY hope he can hit.
  8. Hugh2
    I don't think he looks like someone who can't catch, looks about as athletic as most MLB catchers. Doesn't mean he can't grow out of that body, we just don't know, but I think Garcia has tremendous upside. And he was starting to get serious hellium right before he got hurt.
  9. Hugh2
    I pretty much agree, people probably would have called us crazy around here if we suggested Mookie move back to the infield.
  10. Hugh2
    I feel like it might be a crime against humanity for suggesting this but......Duran was a second baseman by trade. That certainly wouldn't be my 1st, or even second choice. But if EVERYTHING broke right and you wanted to get all these guys in the lineup, then one has to assume there is a great than zero percent chance of that happening. And yes..... .01 is still greater than 0
  11. Hugh2
    It's going to be someone on the 40 man. Chris Martin should be back any day now, The Toronto series is still almost 3 weeks away and theres' a very good chance that Slaten will be back by then too. Aside from that you have: Keller Weissert Horn Down in AAA before Priester. Priester strikes me as the type of guy they want to work on down there, and aren't counting on but at the same time if it clicks he could find himself back in the bigs quickly. But he certainly ain't that guy right now.

    If Anthony is going to platoon and not play full time then he has more value right now as a trade chip for some pitching. Something gives, They're not sitting Anthony unless something horrible goes wrong. These things work themselves out, someone will regress, get hurt, move position, or just get traded.
  14. Hugh2
    If Anthony, Mayer, or Teel get 250 at bats in AAA I'd be very surprised. But yeah, a lot of things can happen for a lot of different reasons.
  15. Hugh2
    Are you sitting Anthony vs. LHP???
  16. Hugh2
    His brother WAS considered the better prospect, but things are interesting now, unfortunately Johanfran hasn't been able to show us anything this year. Both these guys are still very far away and a lot can happen, but have two brothers ever been top 100 prospects before? it would be pretty cool. It would be pretty cool to see them both on the same team in Boston some day as well. Of course I the Sox can always go the Bogaerts route like they did when they traded Jair, but he was never highly regarded nor did he ever play in the majors.
  17. Hugh2
    I also don't think the talent level in AAA is what it used to be, I suspect he won't spend much time in AAA when he gets there.
  18. Hugh2
    That's one guy for one game, I'd be interested to see what Kutter looks like as well as the rest of the rotation a few times through with some extra rest.
  19. Hugh2
    This is pretty much the way I see it as well.
  20. Hugh2
    And Abreu plays the field more with plus D in right, Ref isn't as bad in left field as he is in right. That platoon would still round out to be plus D.
  21. Hugh2
    Agreed with all. RF is probably Anthony’s best fit
  22. Hugh2
    That’s a fair point, and how can you let him work on it when someone like Ref is just so good against lefty’s???? Makes you wonder if he is trade bait. We don’t know how any particular team values a certain player. But anyone who is convinced Abreu can adjust to hitting LHP probably sees a potential all star caliber player. Would make for a nice piece in a trade. I’m not 100% convinced Anthony starts in Boston next year, nor am I convinced he won’t struggle for a while until he adjusts, so I’m not sold that this offseason is the time to do so
  23. Hugh2
    I truly believe the rotation is just a little fatigued. I also think giving these guys some rest can help them end the season on a high note and leave them prime for the playoffs. The solution may be a 6 man rotation for a while, whether that be Criswell, or Winckowoski, or someone like Fitts/Priester if they look primed. That would be equivalent, or essentially is adding a 4/5 starter. But if that guy rounds out a 6 man it might make the guys at the top better
  24. Hugh2
    Feels like some combination of a Mayer/Anthony/Teel promotion is imminent.
  25. Hugh2
    I read this as, he can be average to fringe average in center, maybe passable at worse....but can be plus on the corners.
