In two years, yes.

His value is in that he puts up .300/30/100 and .900 OPS year in and year out, while also being willing to teach these kids how to be major leaguers by example. Both are super important.

Jim Callis keeps saying Swaggerty is the one HS bat connected to the Sox.

That's an understatement. They would either need to eat most of that deal or offer some prime prospect to get it done.

Just like the other 32,000 posts, we can stop reading here.

Only 79 more games to go.

If memory serves me right, didn't the Padres have a 40 man roster crunch?

Trust me, I would much rather them take Madrigal, but I also have more faith the Sox are able to develop a pitcher versus a hitter.

lol, so what hitters have they taken that gives you faith that they would do that right?

Typically when the teams start doing the pressers at the ballpark is when this stuff comes out.

He has Singer over Madrigal. That would really not be the guy I would like to see them go with. I guess at that point you'd have to trust the Sox ability to ID pitching.

With the guy being new to our system this year, I am guessing silence is due to this is the first time most people are seeing him. What I see so far is a guy who seems very fundamentally sounds, without a real carrying tool that stands out. He's a guy who you can plug it and he won't hurt you, but if he was a starter, you'd be looking for an upgrade.

NO WHERE near that level of power.

This. And it is a LONG tradition of doing so, without any consequences.
