Now we learn if April Abreu was a weather thing or not.Oh most def. Any arm that got mildly interesting would flop and/or get snake bitten (RIP Ian Hamilton). I'm willing to give Katz a little bit longer since the pandemic had to slow down development for recent signings/draftees + hoping Shirley's philosophy change bears fruit. The current crop of arms is more exciting than probably the entire post-World Series to pre-Rebuild era.Here we go: - Cease went from "maybe he'll be a BP pitcher?" to Cy Young contender here. - ReyLo had success in his first year as a starter with the Sox - why would they have given up right away on that? - Giolito's star was fading fast and then he was an All-Star and Cy Young vote getter. - You said they developed no one. So yes, Jimmy Lambert, Davis Martin and Rodon count as much as Cristian Mena. And I say this as someone that loves what Mena's doing and purposefully went to go watch him in person last year.It'll be interesting to see how the pandemic has also affected the development of some arms in the system.Off the top of my head: Rodon, Cease, Giolito's All-Star year + 2020, new ReyLo, Jimmy Lambert, Davis Martin. A decade is a LONG time.Before the season: Gavin in RF can't hurt you anymore. Now: NOOOOOOONo one really asterisks the 2009 Yankees or any of the Red Sox championships, but unless you think Manny or A-Rod were roiding their entire careers, they should be HoFers. It doesn't matter what he does for the rest of his career. If he hadn't lied in such a dumb way after being caught, maybe he'd dodge the label. Instead, he's gonna be the ringworm guy with a likely stellar career.So THIS is what's gonna replace the annual Abreu thread. Bravo Ron.That Chappy bomb is so satisfying to watch.Productive out!A long time we have waited.OSCARReyLo pumped.Luis hits exciting home run. You:Only Jarred Kelenic.Hyper athletic Andrew Vaughn has arrived.Nvm according to The Athletic we good.
Lance not cool man.Jumping ship to Charlotte for now dear lord, that W-S broadcast needs work.Can Dylan Dodd surpass Tom Prince as the greatest player in Kankakee (in any way whatsoever) history? Questions only I care about.Man, I need the MiLB app to add the ability to cast already. @DirtySox, you getting sound on the W-S feed?
