Solid return; let the kids play. I've liked Mead for a while but hes been bitten by the injury bug he needs ML PAs and he should get plenty on this roster; Peoples is a very interesting get.

If Sam Antonacci contiues destroying AA do you think they'll push him to AAA for the final 10 games? at this rate if he starts AAA next year he could spend the next two years there and be "on track". His profile reminds me of a Jason Kipnis / Corey Koskie like player. Also curious what the reports are on his defense and if he can handle LF.

Do they keep it in the backyard with Bauer?

f***.

would love Brendan Summerhill if hes available

If JoJo is the pick at 10 do you pick his brother at 76th in the third or 106 in the 4th?

just some quick reference we're 50 days out from the trade deadline; for Luis to return to his career norms he would need to hit the following .360/.400/.550. Its elite but not impossible, personally I think he's too lost in the sauce of his swing choices that have allowed for his best walk rate but at the expense of nearly everything else. he needs 64 hits of which 10 are xbh and a .380-400 OBP just to get back to his career norms of .261/.313/.461

If everything clicks for Zavala and thats a big IF; I think we're looking at a left handed Carlos Gomez with good but not elite defense in CF.

Personally I like Jace LaViolette and Brendan Summerhill along with any of the top lefties. I would love to see Summer Hill taken early and potentially underslot and Jack Bauer in the second; but I find it hard to believe he'll last to 44.

RIP Alex and condolences to his family; really sad day for this board.

Well this is not what I expected but i'll take it; i'll check back in at the end of the series and see if it looks like similar to the opening series against the halos.

The return feels right even if it brings in a second highly touted catcher; now move off Robert.

Nice layout; i'll join you. Exchange: SP Garrett Crochet & RP Tanner Banks to BOS for SS/3B Marcelo Mayer, 2B/OF Kristian Campbell, & RHP Luis Perales Rationale: Bo Sox need a TOR arm beyond this year and their relief pitching is middle of the pack Banks would serve them well. Sox Get a top 10 prospect in Mayer that should stick at SS but could move off to 3B or over to 2B, a break out prospect in Campbell that can play 2B or CF and an arm that is recovering from TJ but has elite stuff. Exchange: CF Luis Robert & RP Michael Kopech to PHI for SS/3B Aiden Miler, OF Justin Crawford, & RHP Mick Abel Rationale: Dombrowski cement his plaque for the HoF and does what he's always done and lands the big fish. Sox get more top up the middle prospects as well as an arm that could use a change of scenery in Abel. Exchange: SP Erick Fedde & OF Tommy Pham to CLE for OF Jaison Chourio 1B Ralphy Velazquez & RHP Andrew Walters Raitonale: Cleveland gets their cost effective starter for this year and next as well as another opition for their OF in Pham. Sox Get solid value for a nice offseason signing in Fedde and two back half top 100 prospects for him and an intriguing arm for Pham in Walters. Exchange: UT Paul Dejong to NYY for SP Henry Lalane. Raitonale: New York has been linked to Dejong its a thin market and the sox get a tall athletic LH SP to work within their system.

If things break right for Brooks, I think the sox are looking at a Tommy Edman like player. Which would be an awesome get for this franchise from the 12th round. A compitent bat with average to slightly above average defense you can plug anywhere on the diamond good for 2-3 fWAR a year on average with break out potential.
