Getz didn’t imply that Kyle was far off during the Anaheim trip so far as I know and it is comical that a couple of folks discounted him being placed on a rehab ticket after I saw him raking in the cages. Shocking… Soxtalk posters can be wrong and arrogant ( you and I included. )
-
It’s hysterical reading recent posts in this thread after I had shared a report from Anaheim where my observation of him looking near a rehab assignment and return were met with sentiment like, “His timing will be off” and “Teel won’t be up for a long time still.” 😆

I could absolutely see us targeting a RH DH, a starting pitcher, and a reliever at the deadline with moves that won’t sacrifice our prominent prospect pool. While that is true, I just wanted to construct a sentence with such a masterful example of consonance: “Prominent prospect pool.”

This has been the camp I’ve landed in for the past few months and for me the concerns with Emerson playing against poor competition give enough pause to play it safe… UNLESS: Evaluations believe with a minuscule margin of error that he would be preforming against elite talent That his floor is safe and his rise will not take longer than two years

What are the chances that Grady Emerson has a Bobby Witt Jr-esque timeline and ceiling? If that is a possibility and he could be up after one and a half years of pro ball to start 2028, then I’m willing to dream on that and get off the Roch train. The main complaint I have heard on Emerson is that he has been playing against extremely weak competition in his particular high school circuit because he wanted to play for a specific coach… but if there are trusted evaluators who think it is more possible than not that he can meet the above timeline and has a ceiling to dream on, he may be worth taking above Roch. * I’m not sold on it and am just spitballing here. * I haven’t studied the holes in his game nearly as much as I have Roch. * I have yet to investigate Emerson’s projected floor. Just thought it would be a good angle for us to discuss and ponder as we march closer to draft day.

Yup. I recall. Was gross then and is gross now. One day we won’t have to digest it any longer add nauseam. 😆

Strange - the only place I access Soxtalk from is my phone. Works fine… even created an app icon for it.

Welcome to the Hall of Fame List.

You think Schwarber would have actually signed here? I don’t.

I blasted the Shields trade when it happened for two reasons: 1.) He was trash leading up to the trade. 2.) Figured if I could hit him as a teenager then opposing teams should tee off on him. 😆

June 1st. By then we will have played some good teams and had a good stretch on in divison games. If we’re hanging around or if we’ve created separation by then - it’s time.
