See how terrible the Mets' have been since they traded him away?

You bring up Gonzalez to displace Benintendi and/or Acuna. If he can really hit, he'll be a big asset as a DH and a backup to give any of the other infielders a day off.

Trade him back to the Mets.

Well the big club could use a bat; several guys with utility/4th OF profiles. He can DH and spell various IFs once a week.

The idea is that the middle infield prospects should be athletic enough to play a good OF. Jackson Merrill. Robin Yount.

Boy you pretty much nailed this situation.

Although his production was modest prior to this season, he took his walks and kept the Ks down. He just showed no power and had a low average. Now he's producing while also walking and keeping the Ks down. As you said, they need to do something with him (and it really seems like they wrote him off). Maybe he's not athletic enough for OF, but how about DH? They need to see what he's got.

9th. That's how the first guy got on. Then 2 walks. Anyway, hopefully just a one-time brainfog. And he's still a work-in-progress. At least I hope so.

It's not the walks. It's being late to cover first..

The Angels ought to sign him: they already have Moncada and Vaughn Grissom; Kopech would give the almost the complete Sale return.

This board needs an Edgar Quero apology thread. And Grant Taylor needs a dressing-down by a team leader. Maybe Vargas. Don't need to see that lollygagging again. Nice W.

2 more hits for Gonzalez tonight. It really seemed like they had written him off when he was over-promoted to Charlotte. Not sure that's changed. But perhaps it should.

Roch was billed as a generational/transformational prospect. Lately I've been hearing he's a "high floor" prospect. That's quite a difference. So I'm wondering, which is he?

If the idea is that McDougal's injury has significantly set back this rebuild, then it was never anything more than a Hahn-style rebuild: little depth and will last until a couple of injuries or downturns in performance (if it succeeds at all). And any thought of drafting to help the current team is consistent with that style of rebuild. That said, it's pretty clear that the pitching is thin org-wide.

I think that the O will continue to improve. Sox have some young guys who right now have modest OPS...but they take their walks and don't K a ton. Few bad habits. Ripe for improvement. Meidroth, Antonacci, and even Vargas (put some batting average on him and his close to .900) Don't force anything with young-for-old trades.

How great is Fedde. The best!

Yes I would be. But I doubt anyone would offer a real haul anyway. Plus, the Sox will likely get a supplemental pick if they keep him. I'm not sure how that works if they trade him; but if they would lose it, some team would have to pay the Sox the value of both Murakami and a supplemental pick. Even more doubtful.

Even if he didn't want to play for the Sox, draft him anyway. He could still sign. If he doesn't sign, Sox get #2 pick next year, right? Unless Emerson and someone else are generational players and far superior to the top of next year's draft, it will work out fine.

The Mets are similar to Sox. Both solid at 2b, SS, 3b (Sox are younger). Soto and Murakami. Mets play Vientos, Baty, Tyrone Taylor, Mauricio, Melendez, Benge and Robert and now Slater. Sox play Peters, Hill, Benintendi, Antonacci, Acuna, Pereira and now Kelenic. Mets better at catcher (also older) Overall, I'll take Sox position player group.

Still a lot of Ks in Bonemer's game. Gonzalez continues to rake; Baker's hitting well. Bring one or both up in lieu of Peters/Hill who seem to share the 5th OF role. Assuming Gonzalez isn't ensconced as an org guy. Kanny seems to be light on pitching; that will take its toll going forward. I'd like to see some young pitching added when the bullpen is hopefully dispatched in June and July.

Nice W. Now let's get the W tomorrow to make up for losing a series to the Nats. Just looking at the rosters, the Tigers to me should win this division by 10 games and be right there with the Yankees. They are missing something, and I hope they keep missing it.

I guess, but their last 3 FRDs aren't looking too sporty.

No

And based on his stats, although is so-so WHIP gives a clue. But some of last night was well placed fly-balls that fell in.

It was hit right to him and he dropped it, and then went and swiped it away. Nice.
