Just wanna say I appreciate the videos, Harold.

It’s too bad Eloy didn’t sign as a starting OF somewhere.

The odds are extremely low, just thought it was a fun side note.

I believe Quero cracking this list means he could net us an extra pick if he somehow with ROTY and is with the big league squad out of Spring? I think you need to be on 2/3 top 100’s: pipeline, BA, ESPN.

I believe Pipeline goes by service time and Baseball America goes by IP or appearances.

The fact Thorpe disappeared from our top 30 pipeline prospects after one of his starts should be a safe indication he exceeded their prospect limits. I mentioned this. Unless for some reason they have a different threshold for their top 100 than for their top 30 by team, he wasn’t eligible for this list.

Dude did you read my post? I said BA put him on the “others mentioned” list. I know it wasn’t lack of eligibility for them. Thorpe isn’t eligible for Pipeline’s criteria is what I’m saying. So your initial post I was replying to is incorrect. That was my point.

I think you’re wrong. He was “others getting votes” for BA, but this list is Pipeline, so he could have been among the Top 100 if still eligible. He exceeded prospect status limits for our Top 30, so I would guess the same for Top 100.

Your thoughts on Thorpe aside, he’s not on the list because he graduated. Isn’t that the the goal?

You said to take the experiences. My point is 200K can be exchanged for better experiences than what are being offered. Not complicated stuff.

You could literally travel the world with $200k.

I don’t think that’s related. I think they had more to gain by Toronto getting him.

Seems like they will. Haven’t heard of their guys getting poached.

They have a young guy named Lux you guys might like.

There’s a lot we don’t know the answer to here, but one thing I do know is that if Montgomery’s career doesn’t go well, it will definitely be because the Sox signed Josh Rojas.

Great answer!

What do you think young Yobal is hiding under that hat?

He also turned into a possibly usable prospect.

What the f*** are you going on about? Rojas is a an actual decent major league player, and the fact that teams with aspirations of contention wanted him should tell you he should have trade deadline value.

I like Rojas. Was hoping we’d make a move to get him from AZ back when we were contending.

I mean…I don’t think it was at all realistic to expect him to want to come here. But I do appreciate they seemed to make a genuine effort to go through the courting process if for no other reason than it’s good practice for down the road when hopefully we’re better positioned for similar circumstances.

Seems to be comfort level, which at his age switching countries/cultures seems like a wise decision.

Well said.

I want Zyhir Hope. It’s who I was hoping we’d get for Crochet, but maybe we can talk them into it for Robert. A guy can dream.

It’s also good practice for down the road if a similar situation arises and they’re in a better position as a franchise.
