Vaughn with a line drive single...keep him I think

Recent college bats that have gone to the majors a year after being drafted: 2015 MLB Draft #1 Dansby Swanson (569 PAs in minors before coming up) #2 Alex Bregman (679 PAs in minors before coming up) #6 Andrew Benintendi (657 PAs in minors before coming up) 2014 MLB Draft #4 Kyle Schwarber (621 PAs in minors before coming up) #10 Michael Conforto (589 PAs in minors before coming up) #13 Trea Turner (871 PAs in minors before coming up) The only reason Kris Bryant didn't come up in 2014 was because of service time manipulation. Vaughn is supposed to be one of the best college hitters of all time, if he is raking in the minors and ready by the All-Star break next year then bring him up.

10th of the year. Sheets had 10 total homers in his first 2 seasons in the Sox minors in 641 ABs. This season he has 10 in 282 ABs.

He then gets to 3rd on a throwing error by the pitcher on a pick off attempt.

Madrigal with a single and BB already.

at the 1/2 way point of the 2019 season Yoan Moncada is on pace for a 5.6 fWAR season.

I was thinking realistically he could be more along the lines of Dustin Pedroia's 2007, 2013, & 2014 seasons with better base running and fewer K's. Pedroia was a 3.7, 4.9, and 3.8 fWAR player those seasons while never hitting more than 9 HRs in a season, with an ISO between .098 and .125, a BB rate between 8.1 and 10.1%, and a BABIP between .307 and .333.

2019 Line for Madrigal .303/.372/.398 .770 OPS .095 ISO .302 BABIP 24 BB (8.03%) 7 K (2.34%) 264 ABs 26 SBs 8 CS 98.95 Fielding %

He's only 24. It's a knee injury this time, not another UCL injury.

My numbers have Glass at signing for $200K as reported on the 1st page of this thread. If Glass did sign for $200K, then the Sox have $102,575 after signing Freeman for Trenkle, Krogrman, Britt, and Flood.

Sox should have $127,525 left to offer over slot to anyone not signed in rounds 11-40.

Robert 3/3

Would that be the cause of the injury delay?

Robert lead off single. Injury delay in game after the play.

Sheets grand slam

I came up with $2,127,575.00 with factoring in the 5% overage. Not sure if that is fully correct or not.

I would love for the Sox to flip Colome for Carlson. On top of the fielding grades you listed and being a switch hitter, he has had over a 10% BB Rate, K Rate around 18% the last 2 seasons, ISO over .200 in AA as a 20 year old, 129 wRC+. That would potentially fix the RF hole the Sox have. Sox Potential 2021 Lineup CF - Robert (R) 3B - Moncada (S) LF - Eloy (R) 1B/DH - Vaughn (R) C - McCann (R) or FA C/DH/1B - Collins (L) SS - TA (R) 2B - Madrigal (R) RF - Carlson (S)

You forgot TA (on his way to a 4 fWAR season, with 24 HRs and 33 SBs) and Vaughn (best college hitter in draft). Collins hitting 7th with an OB% around .350 would be sweet. Just need a solid RF and C (McCann?) for the future. The Sox are going to be so fun to watch over the 2020s.

Madrigal with another BB.

Boom Collins!

Love it. Benetti throwing shade after the HR, saying thanks Cubs. Then when Baez flies out, saying not everyone can not square up a ball and hit it out.

FYI Collins MiLB career splits are vs. RHP .247/.396/.463, .859 OPS, .216 ISO, 19.94 BB%, 27.78 K%, .326 BABIP. 201 BB, 280 K. 38 HR. 49 2B. 4 3B. 133 RBI. 793 AB. vs. LHP .200/.330/.356, .686 OPS, .156 ISO, 15.83 BB%, 32.69 K%, .281 BABIP. 56 BB, 119 K. 11 HR. 11 2B. 1 3B. 45 RBI. 295 AB. I think Collins will do just fine against RHP.

Eloy's still only 22 and playing his first 46 games in MLB, all while getting hurt. In 24 games since coming back from the IL he has a 264/319/585 line. Since coming back from injury that's a .905 OPS, with a .322 ISO. wRC+ at 137. He averages a HR once every 15.45 ABs this season. Over 600 ABs that would come out to around 39 HRs. Again from a 22 year old rookie. If he stays healthy he's got a pretty decent chance to get to 30 HRs as a rookie, which has only been done 28 times in MLB history (since 1871). Since 2000 a rookie has hit at least 30 HRs 7 times. Those players are Trout, Judge, Pujols, Abreu, Braun, Bellinger, and Chris Young. Pretty good company. If he gets to 500 ABs this season, he would be on pace to hit 32.5 HRs. As for Collins, even if he K's a ton he is going to get on base. In every MILB stop where he had over 100 PAs, he has never had an OB% below .365. In AA and AAA it's been .422 and .382 over the last 182 games. Castillo with the Sox had a .304 OB% last year and currently has a .289 OB%. Zavala in AAA has had a .267 and .282 OB% that last 2 seasons.
