And how many from the class of 2013 have?

With it being so early, I am not that worried. They are getting here en mas, the higher end guys are moving. The lower signings even seem to be having success at the lower levels.

If you step back and look at it, Micker, Tatis, and Robert is a pretty nice resume to start with. That is assuming you get nothing out of guys who are hitting in the lowest levels now like Quintero and Sosa, etc who are leading their teams.

And Paddy was hired in February of 2013. Realistically it means while he was there for the 2013 class, many of those guys had already been agreed to through early deals. Considering you are dealing with 14/15/16 year olds, those guys are just now starting to show the ability to evaluated. Micker, the primary guy out of that 2013 class, still is 21 years old.

And Hostetler And Paddy Etc. But loyalty.

Well the good news is that this means Bruce is Rondone.

In all reality, Considering they already had Vieira here once this year, he is who I would bet on.

He threw away his shot, now time for Hamilton!

Not for the last few weeks. About the time Castillo got suspended and Jones got hurt again, the pen has just fell apart. I don't know that they have a RH reliever outside of Soria that is better than mediocre at best.

Oh hey, what a stellar bullpen. I have no idea why he didn't want these guys in.

If you truly believe both things are true here, I have no idea how you can reconcile both of those ideas at the same time. The Sox can't develop young talent, so let's balance the entire future on it, and be excited the team is doing it.

He has Iowa State on his recruiting list apparently.

So the only option for future success was to build our entire future on the franchise actually being good at the thing that they keep saying was our biggest failure. Now you see my confusion as to how this was a good idea.

Ah yes, the party of unity.

Me too. Funny how that works.

Interest doesn't mean offers. And it sure doesn't mean good offers. Unless you can prove the offers were decent, I am going to assume they aren't considering the number of players we have moved in the last year +.

And to continue that narrative, will continue to ignore positives in the developmental team by adding more qualifiers so as to disqualify any success stories.

Herm can't even keep the coaches healthy.

What offers were out there?

So most of development happened at the major league level, after he wasn't good enough to get out of the low minors with the Yankees.

Blame Hermie.

He got to A ball with the Yankees.
