Scary relying on Schultz at his point. Just need the Sox version of Martin Perez or Houser. Someone more reliable/predictable that will protect that Bullpen from being overexposed/over worked down the stretch. Especially Newcomb Hudson and Taylor.

Neither possessed his raw catching tools on the defensive side...

Just worried the pro version is somewhere between Dansby Swanson and Brandon Crawford. Occasional All Star, but not a true franchise foundation piece.

More like a John Olerud or Mark Grace...Jacob Gonzalez might actually be closer to 12-15.

"While homeruns are yet to decorate the baseball card, most think Emerson should have no trouble growing into 20+ homerun output, potentially more as he continues to fill into his frame. Emerson has a chance to age into a special hitter if it can all click, a true hit and power threat. Defensively, Emerson has fully addressed the concerns of him sticking at shortstop as he now showcases plus arm strength across the diamond, solid range and a strong internal clock on top of being a plus runner. Most think he could end up a plus glove at third base, but he's got a strong chance to develop into at least and above average shortstop long term."

Projected somewhere/anywhere south of Bruce Harper...depending on who you talk to. Scouting Grades: He has received grades of Hit: 65, Power: 55, Run: 55, Arm: 60, Field: 60, Overall: 65 Future Projection: As Emerson continues to fill out physically, scouts expect his power to become more consistent. He projects to develop average to above-average power, potentially translating to 15–20+ home runs per season at the professional level once fully mature.

He's barely a four tool player. More like 3 1/2...

There isn't one profile that has suggested Roch could or should play CF. Lackey beats him in pretty much every measure in terms of athleticism. The outfield idea is 100% not destroying his knees and preserving his bat in the lineup. And those tools would make him a plus fielder at any number of positions, especially his elite arm strength. If you don't/can't keep Mune, Braden perhaps moves to LF with Lackey in RF/CF, Colson SS Vargas 3B Antonacci 2B Bonemer 1B and a rotating DH.

Jacob Gonzalez sorta 1B...and part of the $$$ on Rodriguez's remaining contract. Doubt it happens. DBacks seem most interested in financial relief.

Jinxed. 6-1 Lead turns to 7-6 deficit including an overturn at home which could have given Colorado the game. 7-7 to the 11th Sanzatela at 98-99 First LAD game to extras this season. Second longest such streak in mlb history.

Si.com doesn't have any authors left? SIFive MLB All-Stars Most Likely to Be Traded This SeasonThese players are set to represent their respective teams in next week’s All-Star Game. But they may be wearing a different uniform after the trade deadline. Left-handed first baseman/DH According to MLB insider Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Diamondbacks are planning to target one specific type of hitter at the deadline. "The Diamondbacks expect to pursue a left-handed first baseman/DH type at the deadline, people briefed on their plans say," Rosenthal writes...

Ho-hum. 106-56 pace at the moment...

Braden Montgomery doesn't have the initial burst/range to play CF. He's fine in RF, although his arm accuracy has just been a tad bit disappointing so far in the early stages.

Eduardo Rodriguez connected to the Sox as a possible trade fit...at si.com.
