Moncada crushed that.

Jesus H. Christ. Pitchers continue to drop like flies.

They're both on the bubble. They had Kelley at 55 and Crochet at 50, but in the Sox T30 they ranked Crochet above Kelley, meaning that they have Crochet higher now but they haven't updated their scouting reports.

Sounds like dead arm from the short ramp up+Rodon coming off TJS. This is probably the reason why they don't show pitcher velocities in ST broadcasts.

More detailed response here.

I don't believe him. When he gets the contract offers this winter he'll change his tune really quickly.

I would have rather given Burdi a look given he's already on the 40 man.

This is the most impressive thing about Robert right now.

Moncada hits the ever loving piss out of the ball and he's becoming such a good hitter that even when he's not squaring it up, he's getting hits. His BABIP is always going to be an extreme outlier. He's just that good in EV and as a hitter. The way I look at it is that Robert is always going to put up bigger power and WAR numbers but Moncada is going to hit for higher average and slightly less power. Moncada is going to be in the 25-35 HR range, and probably hit .300 regularly with a .360+ OBP and Robert is going to be in the 30-45 HR range and hit .270-.285 with a .340 OBP. Robert's BA could be inflated a bit by his elite speed. I continue to be baffled by Moncada not running as he has the ability to steal 25+ bases. They're both great players.....but Robert is at a different level, especially if Moncada isn't going to run.

He was up 45 days in 2018 so they'd have to keep him down until ~May 20th to get the year back. Memorial Day is the non-obvious date.

It depends on the extent of Rodon's injury. If Rodon is finished, Keuchel and Quintana would be the only lefties the Sox have.

I think Quintana is coming back. It wouldn't surprise me at all, and I've thought this since the moment he was traded.

Given that they messed with Madrigal's service time, do you guys think that they Keep Kopech down until Memorial Day next year, or will they just take the extra year from the opt-out? I think they could be justified in sending Kopech to the Minors because he hasn't pitched in 2 years.

If that's the reasoning, I get it. I still think Robert is probably better than either Lux or Franco.

And Narvaez hits it.

Lmfao

Hahaha

Yeah in 2005.

I have no idea why the Sox hitters look so bad against Suter.

Cordero!

This is brutal.

Cordero was good last year and might be a good find.

Sisco.
