MLB pulled off a GREAT move by letting that kid make the Mariner's 1st rd pick. Very inspiring. Well done MLB !!
-
i understand that
-
well maybe those teams don't have the same M/L depth the Sox do
-
Another SP drafted at #16. So much for the theory that teams don't value P in the 1st rd. Bloom needs to focus on power arms now.
-
Nonetheless they drafted him as a C first.
-
Well he's NOT a SS--Sox system is lacking as bad at the C position as they are at P. They drafted Teel because he was a C and ranked higher then they were picking. Bloom shocked the MLB world again.
-
me too
-
There see I'm not so stupid after all. We need a good C prospect too.
-
next up is Bloom with his shock the world pick. Waldrep or Steele will make me happy.
-
Rated by pretty much everybody. There was general SHOCK when Bloom took Yorke with that 1st rd pick.
-
Well 4 of the top 10 picks so far have been pitchers. just saying. keeping my fingers crossed for Waldrep but like I said I am going to lose it if Bloom takes some guy ranked way below where we are picking.
-
BTW Chase Dollander a RHP from Tennessee is ranked #14 right where we pick. at #11 is another pitcher Noble Meyer. Could he slide to #14? Hurston Waldrep is another SP we could have in our decisions. I will tell you that I am gonna lose it if Bloom takes some guy ranked well south of #14.
-
and Casas goes where?? Myself I am not in favour of Doing a guy 24 or 25 years old.
-
and where is Jordan going to play?
-
My problem with Yorke is that he was rated at least 100 spots below where he was drafted and Bloom likely could have gotten him in the 3rd rd as we didn't have a 2nd rd pick that year. Hey I've already resigned myself to the fact that Bloom will be drafting another HS hitter because that's what pretty much always does. If the guy ends up being a player he likely won't be in Boston til 2027 or maybe late 2026.
-
well I am counting this year too because i simply don't see us as better than any of the other AL East teams.
-
Well I wanted them to SELL. Right now I am undecided but my gut tells me the right thing to do is to at least partially sell. Even with our recent hot spell BTW--we are stiil in last place.
-
no doubt Bloom has done sone good things but this is a results oriented business and the results have not been great. Pretty sure Henry is tying his hands some though.

The Red Sox starting rotation -- long term
Randy Red Sox replied to Fan_since_Boggs's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
We may as well trade Mata as that will rid the system of all the DD pitching prospects as Bloom basically GAVE away Groome, Ward, Song to keep such studs as Ort and Brasier on the roster. -
A Realistic View of 2023: Part II
Randy Red Sox replied to moonslav59's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
come on everyone. no need to get so personal. Everyone has their own opinions and that is fine. Duran is not starting today as the A's started a LH. No conspiracy there. -
fair enough but I don't see that as a huge thing given where he was drafted 4 drafts ago.
-
What list to you see Yorke as a top 100 prospects? I saw Keith Law's top 100 put out on May 8th with Yorke not on there. I don't pay for BA rankings.
-
Nonetheless Mayer WAS ranked #1 before the draft. I realize I am fighting a losing battle on drafting P in the 1st rd but seriously how many 2B, SS, and 3B can we have in our system at one time?? Supposedly Yorke is our future 2B { i am skeptical on that} , Mayer, is our SS and Devers is locked up at 3B with Jordan as insurance. We also drafted at least 1 more SS with a 1st rd pick since Bloom arrived too. The team Bloom came from has made their mark on young top cost controlled SP like we FINALLY have with Bello { thank you DD}.
-
Taking Mayer aside { no brainer pick given he was ranked #1} what great draft picks has Bloom made? we all know he hoards prospects so drafting SS and 2B every year in the first rd makes no sense to me but I know this is a losing argument. Name these top pitching prospects Bloom has brought us please.
-
Yeah because we should be OK with 3 last place AL East finishes in the 4 years Bloom has been here. I guess that makes us cry baby fans.
