With all the hard-throwing righties they have coming up for the pen, still shaking my head at how they prioritized Herrera and Colome this off-season. Charlotte’s pen is going to be crazy, Birmingham figures to be stacked as well. My guess is that Engel did not make the team.

Where would Ian Happ play for the Sox long term? I gotta say, if you don’t like Moncada’s strikeouts, you wouldn’t like Happ either. That said, probably still has more value than Gio.

Like it. Would much rather have Moncada hitting second though. Also, Castillo is not as good as Ricky thinks he is.

That sounds about right. Too bad for Ruiz and Thompson. Both pitched well enough to make the team

Escobar is godawful. That said, he may be better than Goins? Sox really good at collecting garbage players.

Ha ha on getting paid millions. He got a one time bonus and now makes less than the drive thru guy at the Wendy’s. He hasn’t received a check from the Sox since Labor Day 2017. Listen to him being interviewed about his rehab. He worked hard. You are turning his body type into a moral issue. Take it up with God or his DNA or whatever.

I get it, people are negative about everything since Machado, but do we really need to fat shame some 23 year old kid recreationally? He doesn’t have the ideal body type for a third baseman, let’s burn him at the stake. Not his fault we drafted him in the first round. The personal nature of the comments in this thread are astounding. I think you’d be banned if you said any of this to another poster.

Yeah, I think Adam Engel and Yolmer both have compromat on Renteria.

He played in instructs. That’s where his profile jumped.

That is absolutely not true. Keith Law wrote at least one piece where scouts said, if eligible for the draft, Tatis would have gone 1-1. I remember because I was horrified the Sox were even contemplating a foolish move like that. A lot of people knew Tatis was good.

How the heck do you know? Betting against any individual pitcher becoming a number one is a pretty solid bet, but are you a scout? A pitching coach? A character from Back to the Future?

One key difference: Fulmer has never dominated at any minor league level. Hansen led the minors in K’s. Hansen just needs to return to form. Fulmer needs to form.

Equally important, also said he was in a good place mentally.

Fixed it.

Getz had nice things to say about Hansen on the broadcast today. Still cautiously optimistic.
