I get the feeling that a lot of people don’t realize that Moncada is the best player on the team right now

He has a ERA+ of 137 and is averaging almost 12 K’s per 9, he needs to pitch more. Maybe if he pitched more, he could get on a roll.

The plan to gear Kopech and Crochet towards being starters is going horribly.

Does Crochet have to drive drunk to get some innings?

Worry about that when it happens

I’d want as many lefty bats as possible in the lineup against Woodruff but in high leverage innings, late in the game with the lead, I would’ve put in Engel.

Get Bummer or Crochet warm

Is Bummer available? With all these lefties this may be a chance for him to get right.

The Sox don’t have the same type of intriguing prospects that the Padres do. The Sox couldn’t have matched their offer.

Backup C is a big offseason priority, right?

2015 - 2017, bad drafting stretch in the first round.

If you’re at the tailgate. Come say Hi, I’m in a gray Anderson jersey and in ray bans. Black dude. can’t miss me.

I always hated the decision to not move Collins from behind the plate, the bat coming out of college was really good power wise at least

The mean slot value of Comp Round B in the 2021 Draft is $966,162.50

Just realized that the Sox will probably have another first round pick in the form of a comp pick for Rodon. Which would be huge for the reloading of the farm system for the next wave of talent to extend the window.

Kelenic will be fine, they should keep him up and let him fail now.

Good shit, he can join the team now

I don’t think Kris Bryant has been vaccinated yet, I don’t think most Cubs players are so because of that I don’t want him to be on the Sox. They could win the WS this year and it would suck if an outbreak were to happen and change the course of the season.

I just wish the Sox spent big on teenagers in the Dominican & Venezuela

I really like Kevin Parada, Georgia Tech has kind of become a factory for quality college catchers. Another guy I really like is Hayden Dunhurst, the catcher from Ole Miss. Montgomery and Kath are welcome additions to the system but the Sox need more athletes and more true up the middle guys

A big win for Marco Paddy and the Sox player development. They getting better at this sort go thing

Montgomery signed?

The Sox don't have the bonus to make that work, plus he's firm on going to school. The Royals might be able to do it but I think that's the only team who can take a real swing at signing him.

I imagine its going to go 1: Kelley 2: Montgromrey 3: Kath 4: Thompson

I would really like it if the Sox nabbed a C before the end of the day. I like Patrick Winkle out of UCONN. MLB Pipeline: Winkel was a solid high school prospect in Connecticut, one whom the Yankees drafted late in 2018, but decided to honor his commitment to his home-state UConn. A strong freshman season in 2019 got people excited, but he missed 2020 following Tommy John surgery. He came back healthy in 2021, but while he threw better than expected, his offensive performance was a bit more uneven. Winkel does fit a profile teams covet as a left-handed hitting catcher with power. He has above-average raw pop and did get to it in 2021 to hit 11 homers, but while he made a lot of contact and drew walks overall, he did most of his damage against fastballs, struggling against breaking stuff and leading some to wonder if there's enough hit tool for him to keep getting to that power consistently at the next level. While he's not a runner, Winkel is athletic behind the plate and is an average overall receiver and his arm bounced back better than anticipated, giving scouts confidence he'll be just fine behind the plate. That, plus the raw power are enough to think he might be a backup as a pro, with the chance for him to be more if the bat bounces back overall.
