Mayer has not lived up to the hype of being the #4 overall draft pick. I think its too early to write him off but if he doesn't stay healthy and have a good season in 2027, then it may be time to say, he will never be what he was advertised to be.
He has raised his batting average over 40 points and is showing some power. All in about 3-4 weeks. I would say that is great improvement. Prior to that, he was the worst hitter in baseball.
How in the world is that scored a base hit. Mayer looked like a scared little leaguer trying to get out of the way. That is an error all the way. Baseball's scoring has totally changed to favor the hitter and not make the fielders feel bad. F**K the pitchers ERA.
I just got home so I don't know if this has been talked about but I read an article today about the two guys that Breslow traded for Dustin May. One of which is James Tibbs who the Sox got from the Giants for Devers. Both are tearing up the minors and Tibbs is now ranked as the #24 prospect in MLB. Add in Kyle Harrison and Shane Drohan who the Sox gave up for non-hitting Caleb Durbin and its clear that Breslow and his staff don't know what the hell they are doing.
