In 209 PA on the south side his line is .235 .278 .383 .660 In 2019 over 26 PA his line looks a lot different .417 .462 .792 1.253

That doesn't mean anything Jack. By my count the Mets, Phillies, Brewers, Cardinals, Giants, Indians, Tigers, Twins, Astros, and Mariners (a 3rd of the league) have traded with the Sox 3 times or less in the same time span.

Does Zack Burdi have another brother? 🤮

Here is a quote from an article on MLBTR today "players like Kole Calhoun or Jose Abreu will reach free agency coming off 33 home run seasons and stand no chance of receiving the $42MM contract Melky Cabrera got coming off a 16 home run season" That was the 14 million a year contract the Sox signed Melky for. Unless Abreu accepts a qualifying offer which I think he would if offered. I fully expect the AAV of his new contract to be below what he made in 2019.

That hasn't been the case since the 2017 draft

My first complaint about Ventura was that he was inexperienced, but since then inexperienced managers have had a lot of success on other teams. If the Sox went with an inexperienced manager from outside the org I'd be totally fine with it, but if it were anyone from inside I would be very skeptical.

Dickman with the Kansas City special ❤️

Outside of Madrigal when is the last time the Sox drafted a player that even projected to be a plus defender at a non 1B position the first round?

Batting Collins there is a great way to neutralize Robert and Moncada's speed

It's nice to see Dickman make the cut

If anyone wants to get hyped for Burger's return you can watch him almost rupture his achilles twice on two routine practice ground balls in 30 seconds of video. He's a special player

Looking at past drafts 2018 - Madrigal was the first to receive full slot value at #4 Kelenic was the first over-slot at #6 2017 - Lewis pick #1 was the only under-slot pick in the top 5 2016 - Ray was the first to go over-slot at #5 2015 - Jay was the first to receive full slot value at #6 2014 - Rodon went over-slot at #3 the next player to go over-slot was Trea Turner at #13 So in general you're most likely to sign a top 3 pick under-slot, however 2017 was a lot different than other recent drafts

I would be surprised if they don’t give a big bonus to their 11th round pick

Hopefully they give him a full arm and shoulder examination before he's called up so they don't waste a year and a half of development and service time like with Kopech 💔

I think you've made it clear that when it comes to Madrigal you are one of the least hopeful people here.
