caulfield12 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 QUOTE (DirtySox @ May 7, 2012 -> 05:52 PM) I think the Molina promotion is a bit premature. He wasn't exactly dominating AA. I just don't see the need to rush him. At first I thought this was a Marty34 post until I read the poster name, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he will be an ace, but more of a middle of the rotation type which is certainly valuable. I just don't really see the need to rush any of the prospects right now. Though to be fair the Sox generally have an okay handle on their pitching prospects. Much more so than position players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ok, why have I never heard of this guy before? And how is he not ranked in BA's top 100? http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/p...id=tolles001sha Video game numbers right there. Drafted in the 30th RD, yet he has dominated since the day he got drafted. How does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 He was very good at Baylor. As for why he's not top 100: age and RP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age is the only reason I can see. Hell, even Addison Reed was #66 going in to the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relievers have significantly less value than any other position. Addison Reed struck out 111 and walked 14 in 78.1 innings and reached AAA (and the Majors) at 22 last year. Their numbers are comparable. There's no 'even Addison Reed.' Reed did this last year at higher levels while being younger. If he was only 66, Tolleson is fringe top 100.

JPN366 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Petricka said on his Twitter that he's rejoining the Dash. I would assume that means Molina's rejoining the Barons as well and Axelrod is activated for Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 The draft is about 4 weeks away. Here's some clips of the top players... http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/prospects/watch/y2012/#list=draft I saw one mock draft with the Sox taking a high school pitcher. I doubt that happens at #13, but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's healthy, was the bullpen catcher for the Barons before going up to Charlotte. Luis Sierra's not hitting and Espino is playing 5 or 6 games in a row at a time.
