The Sox are in every avenue terrified of younger players and will pay for older, more certain production over and over.

Ss2k5 nailed my thoughts. Was hugely disappointed to read that.

I imagine this is opening day, but I'm still not convinced they won't put Jay in CF once his hip is healed.

I should add that it was not a negative report on the bat at all, but the other stuff profiled as a fairly limited player.

Said unlikely to stay anywhere but LF or 1b, has a 40 grade arm. Scouts are comparing him to hunter renfroe's ascent, and that if draft were held today he'd go probably top 10. Basically said he'd like to see more of him in conference play where he gets better offspeed stuff. Not a very flattering writeup of Bryson Stott's offensive game. Said he would put him at the back of the first round personally.

Thanks, was wondering about it after reading the syndegaard stuff.

Is there a Charlotte/Sox game this year?

He will, but he's not especially poor. But you just will not get that many shots on up the middle talent with plus defense, speed and power. I am as scared as anyone of our front office, but I will maintain that one of the reasons the sox are so bad at developing high school talent is because they have not invested in high school talent. Any other number of orgs have failed in greater numbers of high schoolers than the sox, but you get lucky with one and you get the type of athletic talent that doesn't often come to college.

I don't know, but it's definitely not going to be guaranteed he's there at 3. It's a weird draft, I wouldn't be surprised if its productive, but aside from Zion it's not one that you are thrilled to go through a year like this for.

This is a draft that I would be fine moving down in unless you get top two, but every other team will probably feel the same way.

On the other hand, nashville is great and may be the right choice for you, and you'll make great memories with your kids no matter where you live. You could even have a ballpark roadtrip.

People should always be optimistic about Leury Garcia.

2 or 3 is nice, but zion changes the franchise for years. I really like Ja Morant but he's a unique player that may need a few years to become more than something one dimensional. I don't know what to make of reddish/barrett. I would take jarrett culver over both of those i think, or Darius Garland. But all have weaknesses.

So we are absolutely locked in at 4 to end year. We may be able to become top 3. - WCJ will have missed half his first season - Chandler Hutchinson will miss half - They discussed porter just sitting out rest of year - Lavine will likely play - Dunn has an injured back Another year of injury after injury. It could all be worth it for some very nice lotto combinations, but this team has shown it has zero depth, but maybe that's what wcj/hutch would have been. Bad, bad year. Hope it's a turning point.

Definitely but this org could use like 10 more combine stars.

@Quin your trae young hate has not aged well

Palka double 3-0

Damn it.

1-0 Sox. Moncada double/ Eloy walk

Luis Gonzalez was horrible his first year too, I have a hard time believing being in kannapolis for half a year made him better even though he produced.

I'm pretty pleased with his AA year. He kept up a good OBP and in a park that is terrible for him he nearly slugged .400. If you think of Mendick as similar to Saladino, he's on a very similar trajectory. 11 of Mendicks 14 home runs was as an away player last year.

Very nice.

Jason Coats is an outfielder for the Durham Bulls.

I totally think as long as injury does not occur in april that mendick will get the call.

Floaters and mid-range. He's fine, but : 1) we don't have a max slot. 2) he would be a horrible waste of a max spot.
