Sure, if he falls to 50, but I wouldn't want to take him at 12.
-
I kind of want it to be a short stop just to see Sox nation go crazy. Moore has been mocked to them a LOT, but he's a second baseman. There's been some talk of teams going pitching in the top ten and one of the top position players falling to the Sox, particularly one Konnor Griffin. I think Nick Kurtz could fall to the Sox as well, he may be Tristan Casas 2.0 For those obsessed with the Sox having to take a pitcher with their first pick I certianly would be excited about a Trey Yesavage. Wish he had a different first name, but at least he's a college pitcher.
-
Ok, sure. Still doesn't mean his value is much higher now than it was before this season.
-
The top of this draft this year is loaded with college bats. I'd take a college bat over a HS arm all day long, at least in the first round......after the first round I flip. I can see them going position player at 12, and then drafting more pitching than typical the rest of the way.
-
Mayer may need to move off of position, but he's probably going to be good at short stop for the front half of his career. Probably right around the time Casas goes to free agency, you can slide Mayer over to 3B, Devers to 1B and call up the 2024 draftee to play SS.
-
Hindsight is always 20/20 but if we traded Duran during this past offseason we may be seriously regretting right now. He probably wouldn't command the type of return a guy who is on pace for an 8 FWar season would. Which I suppose, from a certain perspective means that you trade him this offseason to maximize his trade value. If one wanted to trade him, which I do not.

http://news.soxprospects.com/2024/07/2024draftpreview.html We got a draft comin up this weekend. Here are some names to look out for
-
I meant Rafaela, I corrected myself.
-
Oh he meant Refysnder.....what MVP said.
-
CF. Easy.
-
Yorke was bad for two straight years and now people want to add him to the 40 and bring him up for a playoff run after a good month.
-
Unless we want to start talking about Crochet
-
1-7 ain’t getting traded. 1-5 I don’t see and Perales/Cespedes are hurt. But 8-20 and beyond, they can have a field day and go shopping at the pitcher store and the hitter store.

7/9 A's at Boston, 7:10 pm

How many times have we told you. No fun -
No, the draft. Essentially impossible. I should have switched my sentences, and that hypothetical makes more sense Sox should buy
-
Probably another week until the hot stove really lights up, but we are getting close. I expect to start seeing some activity after the all star game. Maybe one day teams can trade draft picks, wouldn't mind seeing the Sox bow out of this one. Hey, we get a draft coming up soon too.
-
Weird thing about DeJong is he has really struggled against LHP this year, reverse splits are weird. That could easily reverse the rest of the way, or if he's really going to struggle vs. LHP then put Rafaela at SS for a start or two a week against a lefty and load the outfield up with O'Neill and Refsnyder at the corners. Or just sit Ceddanne and play Hamilton there, I'm not in love with Hamilton at SS but he's fine there for a game here and there.
-
Duffy was also old for a junior, he was effectively a senior age wise.
-
Well they did draft him as a 21 year old....about a whole year ago. Early is a nice prospect, high floor but not sure there's much of an MLB future there. Kind of the Sox mo with pitching in recent years, I'd expect that profile with a lot of these "senior signs" but Early got slot last year.
-
People forget that there’s two sides to every trade. We don’t know what Chicago wants, or who they prefer, and what their scouts are telling them about said players. They may prefer young talent proven at the MLB level, and if they do, the team that offers them their version of Jarren Duran will get Crochet, even if a lot of teams think Anthony will be better. FWIW, BTV accepted my proposal of Mayer/Cespedes/Bastardo for Crochet.
-
Anyone is tradeable for the right price, I’m just getting the ball rolling with some proposals. You guys are welcome to add your own trade proposals. I’d prefer a rental over trading Mayer. But if you want a pitcher with multiple years of control who has TOTR potential, the price starts with Mayer or Anthony.
-
Casas will be fine, his injury is muscular. I’ve strained an oblique before myself when I used to box. Tons of core strength work to come back, probably very good for him. I still wouldn’t mind a RHH option at 1B who can slide into a DH role and split time elsewhere at the corners when Casas is back. Mayer isn’t an option in 2024 in my opinion. A guy up the middle who can hit and defend is the best option to upgrade the lineup.
-
I’m confused, I’m not focused on Story, he’s not here for 2024 and I’m trying to add up the middle talent, not rely on Story. I’d be open to 1B upgrade, but as time goes on and Casas gets closer to a return in becomes more pointless. I’d look to upgrade up the middle to strengthen the defense and also provide the upside in the lineup as well.
-
I thought you were saying that prospect package wouldn’t bring you back anything more than a marginal upgrade at best.
-
Want to go big? Marcelo Mayer/Yoenis Cespedes/Angel Bastardo for Garrett Crochet.
