Not in their 500

I've decided that despite it being unneccessary I don't really care anymore and if they extend him it's a nice move. His game calling is so nice. Even if his offense regresses you can easily get rid of the contract OR still pair him with a better catcher. Depends on price. Catchers that are working this well with the staff are worth keeping.

Hodges BA Writeup Also of Illinois dudes, Michael Massey has a nice college write-up. Oooh, Antoine Kelley, come on down: thanks @GenericUserName for the heads ups

Pro Hodges.

Derek Dietrich was signed in March and has a .700 slugging percentage right now. He'll be a FA, slot him over to 1b. That's the beauty of 1b, basically anyone can be one.

I mean, trade or sign for one.

I'm so excited for Cease. I think he's got that no nonsense attitude that plays well for a starter, more than the fake bulldog mentality.

sweet so in three years our players will be caught up to the 2014 Dodgers.

That’s an argument for why it’s jnexcusable to be so bad at international and player development. It’s hard to acquire talent, let alone star talent. You can’t be bad at things that improve your chances to find starters. But also Sox have been pretty terrible in the rest of the draft. Cleveland has finds like Shane Bieber.

I don’t think Sosa had an injury just a horrid slump in April and early May

The time gods chose my more boring modest title. kC you swept

TA WELCOME BACK

Left center so he pulled it.

Madrigal Bomb!

I already pulled your list. What is the 4 year college hitter list look like? Really good? Does it seem like this is a stupid way to judge whether to draft a player yet?

Again, Sox have followed your preferred draft philosophy. I’m confused why the results aren’t more positive?

This is probably just due to the necessity that most right handlers be decent against RHP to be proficient big leaguers.

That is a list of like 12 dudes out of 180 draftees. Most were not even top picks. Your being scared of specifically high schoolers as opposed to “all draft picks” is almost as idiotic as being scared of “athletes”.

I’m not sure it’s that much of a concern. Trying to drop Priester is probably impossible. But anyone mocked past 20 could probably be available anywhere from 21-60.

story of the decade.

Well bush but yeah. Big question is who gets Great Falls assignment. Weaver performed the best, and was the youngest.

Lopez going to suddenly have a much more interesting game plan than all fastballs for 4 innings before introducing a changeup.

Second rounder still sounds like a fun investment, but I'd still rather go after a prep pitcher over Hinds. I like that they are looking though.

He's really bad getting out of the box, but when he gets going it's like seeing old timey roberto clemente clips where he's flailing his arms and sliding in to the base like a mortal combat finishing move. I love it.

Just to be clear, you think Hinds is still in the latter category (lack of pitch recognition) but is far behind where Adell and Witt are/were, so not likely to be flying through the minors like them, correct? I also thought Adell was hit a bit because of geography.
