  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Baseball Prospect Journal has us taking Seth Hernandez, RHP, Corona (Calif.) HS .
  4. I like the Larson pick in this system.
  5. Thats how I felt, 3/4 slot lefty in this system, yes please.
  6. Agreed he can spend the remainder of this year and the next 2 in AAA and still be on schedule, hes facing his toughest assignment since since his first brief stint at AA. Give him time, this franchaise has plenty of that currently.
  7. I think because of his performance and contract he brings back two back half top 100 (75 onward) or 45+FV value prospects. I personally think he winds up in Cleveland for Jaison Chourio and Ralphy Velazquez
  8. I think he winds up in Seattle or Philly. I think its full blown firesale at the deadline Robert, Crochet, Fedde. Pham, and Dejong will bring back lotto tickets.
  9. Hes 22 for all of this year could spend all of this season and the next two at AAA and still be "on track" hitting is hard and power is often the last tool to develop. His strike out rate will normalize just like it did in AA; give the kid some time we're in no rush to start the clock and we're quite a ways away from competing.
  10. I think if he continues this trend we could see two prospects coming back for him in the back half of the 100 (80+ range) between this year and next by the time he's traded he'll be owed 11.5m roughly; fits the budget for a lot of small market contenders like Milwaukee and Cleveland. Would love to see the Sox grab the likes of Jaison Chourio or Ralphy Velazquez from Cleveland for him.

  12. Eder is #62 on FG's top 100 https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2023-top-100-prospects/ link to his 10k game
  13. Hopefully, ship him to Houston as well for Luis Baez
  14. legit blown away that the sox actually get to take advantge of a seller's market. In years past sox would have to eat money and be happy to get the relief prospect alone. This year they get the #9 prospect in a stacked dodger system with #4 potential along with a really good looking relief arm and a warm body, all the while not having to ship any money.
