  1. The only thing I wonder about is if college players are more expensive this year with juniors still having 2 years of eligibility in their pocket, vs high schoolers who would be looking at getting paid vs going to cash-strapped college baseball programs crowded with extra year of eligibility players. Could be a weird year of high school and college prices converging.
  2. One difference to me though is mendick had really great performance and was showing up in things like Carson Cistulli's fringe five, and he always hung in there and improved when jumping levels. Romy was decent offensively in college, decent in Arizona, bad in Kanny - disappears - Amazing in AA.
  3. Giolito, who has been very transparent on how much work he has learned to do to keep himself in sync, should really just click his "fix" button to correct the motion to get a 6 foot 6 guy to throw baseballs 95 mph accurately. Why doesn't he realize that?
  4. I don't doubt it! It's more just funny to me because it seems like a collection of those college hitters that would crush great falls then be awful in full season ball and you'd never hear from them again. Then baseball disappears and they pop-up in AA better than they ever were in college or minor league ball. I'm rooting like hell for them, sox have been turning later round guys like this into real depth so not trying to crap on them at all. Just completely unexpected to me and the way I've followed the minors.
  5. I would like to subscribe to the omarcoming newsletter
  6. And we get Kopech starting tomorrow.
  7. The average age of Birmingham position players is probably like 26 though so maybe it’s that leading to greater than expected success. but Craig Dedelows power so far ?
  8. That said, the offense out of Birmingham is crazy. That is like a whose who of college senior picks that I forgot about years ago all crushing it. Of course Jirschele puts together a competitive team out of the worst roster.
  9. Holy crap Kanny lost lol
  10. 2017 was a pretty terrible draft, and Sox May very well have landed two mlb hitters out of it.
  11. Here for the Vaughn love but I feel like we are also basically taking Yerm for granted. That 9th inning run was huge.
  12. It would be interesting if he uses Hendricks in the 8th for this high leverage situation then gives it to bummer for the 9th
  13. I'm going to claim victory for friendship regardless of what happens based on a 7 pitch at bat with 5 fouls.
  14. Why would I pay for that when I can just watch this and jump through a wall
  15. You know TA will get hamilton hyped about leading off in front of him this inning. I'm expecting an aggressive AB here.
  16. Ok but also tennessee fired its football coach and it's not even clear if crochet as a hobby will be as popular moving forward so you know that may affect his psyche
  17. Interesting pitch placement by Crochet. Wondering if its deliberate.
  18. this is such a happy question and it makes me happy.
