I think he's the best prospect in the system. If Montgomery goes to Kanny and hits as well as Rodriguez has this year we'll all be thrilled about it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea other teams have home grown talent but it's from their latin systems or guys that acquired vie trade or whatever but the Sox have an absurd amount of draft picks from the last 6 or so years contributing as solid backups to solid regulars to stars.

How does max prep and perfect game make him the #1 prospect in Indiana and MLB pipeline have him as #48 prospect in the draft? Is it because he is from a small school and the coaches didn't see him enough? Edited July 14, 2021 by ptatc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it good because it recognizes the non-drafted kids or if its bad because the drafted kids don't get recognized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect a guy that is bandied about as a number one organizational prospect to bring a lot of tools and game to the table. What are we talking about here?

He is an all around guy, but has shown the best ability to get his tools to show in games and keeps improving as he rises. Kanny is a really difficult hitters park and especially for power. It’s also a huge jump from rookie league which is where he played at 18. He’s been batting lead off, where I’m his k% is down, his walks are up, he’s swiped 18 of 22 bags, and has 8 hrs in 50 games. At only 5’11 he doesn’t have a ton of room to grow, but he just keeps putting it together and feels like he could really put himself on the map in A+ where the park is easier. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
