Aren't Robert, Abreu and Alexi the only Cubans who really panned out for this scouting troupe? Maybe Marco Paddy should pull up stakes and we should stop worrying about being top bidder for the next Cuban "phenom".

The most productive first rounder that year was Nico Hoerner, #24 pick.

The Sox could very well get a top 6 pick next year, which would preclude them from being in the lottery for 2025, so they might as well try to compete in that pathetic division. They're returning most of the same team, so unless Yoan, Timmy, AV and Oscar Colas have magic years, they'll be selling next July, again. Or they do play up to their abilities, and they make the post-season. I think Hahn needed a talking point to validate his position on Eloy, Cease, and Kopech. Nightengale also said there wasn't an offer on Cease that made sense to take.

Victor Torres already has stats on Baseball-Reference.com

Yeah, but what if they sign, then decide they don't want to play baseball anymore?!?!? What about that?!?!?

Rodondo Beach Union High School graduated its class of 2019 this afternoon between 3-4:30. I'm disappointed Hahn wasn't on stage to hand him a pen. Of course, I don't know that he didn't.
