Byron Buxton is likely to sign extension or be traded
If I was the Red Sox I’d be all over that, I know Hernandez has been a surprised this year but still.

Good tball drills for coaching?
Definitely my big struggle. We have just 2 coaches for 11 kids, and it just feels like everyone standing for hitting drills (and we only had one tee) This week I went to play it again and bought two more tees to bring.

I remember some writer mentioned he had a velo increase along with McClure. Sox biomechanics work is helping them find velo.

Trade Deadline Thread
God I don’t know how people can live with themselves sometimes. I mean having a terrible burner account isn’t like being a murderer but I wouldn’t want to be in a room with either.

White Sox select Colson Montgomery #22 overall
Yep saw his timing mechanisms change within the same game. Little Adam Engel-y I liked his swing best when he removed the kick altogether.

White Sox select Colson Montgomery #22 overall
Man I love watching videos of this kid but yeah there’s a lot of swing and miss. Gonna be interesting when he faces pitchers that have a plan against him.

Yoan Moncada should volunteer to play 2b this year

Upper Level
My experience has been that upper levels tend to be worse for concessions. One of those things with the Sox where even though it’s less people they give you less stuff and you just end up piled into the same stuff.

Carlos Perez
He’s starting to get noticed Perez was first put on the radar when a BA writer saw him in instructionals at 18 or so and said he could be a big league catcher (why BA writers are awesome) He has been on that long development path, but carrying with him decent contact as he moved up levels. After a 5 hit night, his average is up to .280. He’s hit more homers in Bham than he has in any other year (5). He doesnt walk much but doesnt k (10%) And his defense has always been his calling card. 24 years old. I think he’s a legit backup catcher soon.

ReyLo skipped at AAA: Spot start? Hug watch? stayed tuned
For all the reputation of having big stuff his pitches grade really poorly on baseball savant even in his early years.

ASB trade priorities
My old Hahn muscle memory worried well trade out heuer for a now arm and end up in a similar place. We have so much LHRP otherwise chafin from Cubs makes sense. John king or grave man could be decent groundball/control relievers for cheap. I wonder if NYY trades out bullpen help like Chad green.

7-14 MiLB games
To be clear - I know Perez had a strong rep for defense, just want to know if they still feel strongly about it where avg offense pairs with strong defense.

Machado and Harper: Hindsight
Try harder

7-14 MiLB games
Romy with a double Carlos Perez 3-3 now hitting .274. Each season he has been able to provide avg offense and would love to know his defense. But now he may be inching toward slightly above avg offensive production. Im intrigued.

Machado and Harper: Hindsight
I mean thank god he didn’t pick the Dodgers or Padres though. Considerate of him.
