    Just read somewhere that Puig and Holt are the last two remaining top 50 free agents.  I hope were in on them...particularly Holt.  He would probably be handy and cheap.  As I have mention before...Puig is interesting at a price and see if our Cuban clique can keep him in line.  I know the arguments against Puig but just wondering if we could catch lightning in a bottle for cheap.

    One would think the staff talked to Jose and some of the other Cubans on the team for their input on Puig. Maybe it was a resounding no.

    Question.

    I know we will lose our 2nd round pick if we sign Wheeler or any of these other guys that get a QO.  But do we lose pool money as well?

    Thanks I'll hang up.

    The post right before yours, last sentence, answers that as affirmative.

  3. Winston-Salem, Kannapolis and Great Falls have all been having trouble hitting the ball. Need some guys to take that next step up in 2020, just not a lot of good bats, or at least consistent bats.

    The dude looks massive, probably even bigger than his listed size. He’s potentially a 1B/DH down the road (that said, even getting a bat first player at this point is a big win for the LatAm program)

    Laureano didn’t graduate because it wasn’t justified, but it’s not out of the ordinary for kids at his age to adjust and improve and become legit prospects.

    Until there is better scouting report, I’d go with the kid who could hit and play CF.

     

    Yep, give me the CF kid Laureano too.

    Years ago there was a light hitting IF in the Sox farm who hit only 14 Hrs in over 2,400 plate appearances. He went on to hit 20+ hrs each of the last 3 seasons.

    Juan Uribe, likely not, did not have 2400 plate appearances before doing it

    I looked up "show minors" and he never was listed with the Sox, so idk what you're looking at. 

    Extended Spring training "minor league games" do not count. They get players who are repeating Rookie ball ready for Rookie ball after the draft. Feliz played in those games, but not legit games in any specific league.

    IIRC yes, but he got traded shortly before the draft and AZL doesn't start until mid June. 

    I do not believe extended spring team is same as the AZL team. Extended spring team is all the players that end up at Great Falls and AZL after the draft but not newly drafted players. Before that they play other teams in the same area with some of those players. They are the players that are in at least their 2nd year with the Sox (but not in Kanny or above), before we add a lot of draftees as you said in June.

    Interesting. If accurate 6'2 185 lbs and 18yo.  Wonder if next year you bring to AZL and/or see if he can start?

    If he has the right makeup to be a closer type I do not mind him staying there. Guess you want him to work some innings though to work on all his pitches. Either way, but seems he deserves a shot.
