Where is this surplus??
-
Guys with long swings, Jordan, Kavadas and binelas seem to struggle at Portland.
-
Those little dances and jumps he does when he strikes people out is fun to watch if your a Red Sox fan, but must be aggravating if you are the opponent
-
The stat that I would like to see is his ops on fastballs versus breaking balls?

1b - cassas - average defense and developing bat 2b - story - average defense and potentially nice bat SS - Reyes - average defense and hot bat currently 3b - devers - bad defense and nice bat if he is protected in the lineup. LF - yoshida - bad defense and developing bat. CF - Duvall - decent defense and average bat. RF - verdugo - average defense and average bat. DH - turner - nice bat. C - wong - decent defense and developing bat. Potential Additions for 2024. CF - Rafeala - gold glove defense and weak to mediocre bat C/DH - scott - bad defense and potentially decent bat 3b/DH - dalbec - decent defense and weak bat

I think we need two free agent starters. But we should be looking at guys that will accept one year offers.

I agree. Graduation is definitely affecting our ranking negatively!! Good call on that. Two other things holding us back in the rankings: First: we have some vastly underrated prospects because of the power bias in the rankings: for example rosier, A Castro, and bonaci. They do not have much power. But they hit well, play defense and can steal bags! They barely get noticed outside of diehard Sox fans. Second: the lack of pitching in our system is always going to hold us back in the rankings. We got two guys with stuff that plays. Winkleman and montgero! Also the guy with the best stuff in the system, mata, is injured and before he was injured, he had command and control issues! Most every other pitcher we have is JAG in terms of stuff. Hang’em Chaim is building an incredible pipeline of offense. And I think he is a year ahead of schedule in terms of rebuilding our offensive pipeline. However only he knows what his pitching pipeline philosophy is, and I am not sure even he has a clue what he is doing because right now, it is a mess!!!!

I think Bello had hit a wall and his arm is dragging a bit. But the strength he develops this year should mean he is a stud next year
-
Very few of his contracts are long term deals. It seems like he is building a cost controlled group of position players, and that he intends to use the farm system to replenish these guys! But I have yet to see a strategy for pitching
-
Anthony has really impressed me this year. Love the swing!
-
Will leaving him behind the plate hurt his offense????
-
I thought sale was impressive tonight
-
Walter’s stuff is below average. But still better than Robertson’s
-
Hang’em Chaim may not know anything about pitching or outfield. But he loves those middle infielders
-
I think we need to see if teel can hit left handed pitching
-
I would take Walter over Robertson every day of the week
-
I like the job Winkowski and Crawford have done this year!
-
Rafeala is ready for Boston
-
Who was knocking desperate Dave???
-
Kavadas’s swing is longer than desperate Dave’s tenure as GM!!!
-
I like rosier’s swing. No power, but he puts wood on the ball
-
Whenever I watch Drohan pitch, I wonder “where is his stuff???” Yet he is still ranked in the top 20
-
Our infield defense has to be improved at some point
-
I like scott a lot! He seems to make plays when the team needs them!
-
And I like some of the guys at Worcester being able to help soon! Center fielder Rafeala is just about ready now Catcher scott is very close, but not the best defensively
