Sooo he’s playing in Charlotte and is 0-2

That is remarkably level headed. I enjoyed rum bunter a lot during the Q days. Their prospect site is awesome too

there are bad times for everything. "What? You are drafting players in the middle of the college world series? And what are those players supposed to do, just keep playing after being drafted? Oh my god that's terrible whaarhrr"

The college students that play baseball can continue going to college and potentially playing baseball, and they can pay for the education they get in the meantime. The high school students could easily be drafted before their senior year of high school baseball, because...nobody already cares about their high school baseball except in 2021. The college coaches can figure it out because I don't know why mlb should care about them.

I like the quick peak at guys post-draft, and yeah, it would really make life difficult for college programs... but that last guy is right - November right after the season is great. Gives those drafted players months to prep for living somewhere else and get a training regiment to follow. College players could go play in a wood bat league after the season and show off pro skills. High schoolers can keep doin what they are doing. It seems like it would work way better, and gives the mlb an offseason of World Series - Draft - Winter Meetings - (Jan) - Pitchers and Catchers - ST

I believe retiro in spanish means pregnant

playing now, mieses double. Ramos cooled off quite a bit but started off with a walk today. Hope he gets hot again.

good for him. Not sure he is capable of being more than danny palka though.

SFG has la stella coming back.

Yeah that's what I remembered later but then when I saw others mention it I thought maybe we just gave up a 2nd rounder but still got a 1st round comp. Oh well, still would be an extra million.

"I don't see that many teams needing them, but it will take a lot to get him"

I don't see the yankees wanting a 2b and solidifying gleybar at SS, and I fully expect them to be in on the SS market this offseason. And with DJ's 6 year contract, they already have a somewhat flexible infielder on the books for a while.

They are about to get two of the best offensive prospects in the game. I don't really get the swooning for the tigers, the kc pitching isn't at the same level but it is deep and their offense looks much more promising.

I can't find the thread but I polled soxtalk on who we thought would be tops in most offensive categories and eloy was tops in almost all except average with tim. We've had so many nights of just a guy carrying us, hard to remember how nice it is when you have 3-4 clicking at the same time.

I don't know, they are very milquetoast in how they deploy him. If he was on the dodgers he'd probably have a 900 ops and play 5 positions like the rest of them. He just reminds me a lot of zobrist but granted does not have the same obp. But I think that's partly because kc is a little more old school and may want him to lean into that. Sox don't really change that though.

I mentioned that I think the royals could be interested in a package surrounding Jake Burger considering the structure of their team where lopez could move to second, witt comes to short, but I did not know of a great 3b option (Pratto will also be coming up to 1b). In Rosenthal today: • The Athletic’s Jayson Stark hears the Royals appear more open than in the past to trading All-Star second baseman Whit Merrifield, who is batting .272 with a .726 OPS, leads the majors with 24 stolen bases in 25 attempts and remains one of the game’s bigger bargains. Merrifield, 32, is owed the rest of his $7.25 million salary this season and $3.25 million next season, and his contract includes an $11 million club option in 2023 (he took less money in ’22 to protect against a possible lockout). The Royals, though, have told other teams they believe they are close to contention, and are signaling that they do not want to trade established major leaguers for prospects who might not join them for three or four years. That could make it difficult for them to match up with clubs that have expressed interest in Merrifield. While Merrifield's offense may be underwhelming, he would be an excellent utility piece to have that reminds me of fitting in zobrist. His speed and contact ability to me add to our fun complementary group of anderson and madrigal alongside the obp and power of grandal, abreu, moncada, eloy. While right haned, he's been able to maintain league average production vs righties for his career, though he has dipped. Concerns would be : sapped power this year, but he was really heating up in june power wise - but has had a tough July to date. Burger seems great, and I am against the notion of trading because they are blocked, but as a corner RHH on a health sox team with eloy coming back, I really don't know if we can find him time. And his play at 3b showed to me at least that he can stick.

Next year the following middle infielders are free agents: semien story seager crawford correa baez a. simmons c taylor schoop miller iglesias gonzalez lowrie galvis adrianza Some of these guys already had to wait until march for deals this year. This is a good time to need a MI, next year the sox do not, as is the case with many teams.

Wtf south side Sox saying Butler has a 48” vertical lol

Ah, the post from all of last week when Parkman said if the Sox hadn’t signed him to an extension they probably wouldn’t even pick up his option lol

I love this and yeah…been asleep for both games heroics

Phewffff I missed the Colson interview, any breaking news?!?!?

Samil Polanco 5-5 with three runs and a double:) Lenyn Sosa 3-4 , average up to .280

Another Romy home run

Durnit

Cleveland being 15.5 games down in 2005 will forever terrify me of taking foot off the gas in a division race.
