Everyone realizes that Grossman is not a good defensive outfielder, right? Pillar had that at least.

Wow. Did not see the Pillar release coming. He was FASTs approaching TWTW.

Game over. 2-0. 13 K on offense. These are not mlb players by and large. Position player depth is really going to be an issue.

Banks had a dominant 2 inning stint.

Career .725 OPS, so not horrible, but also not anything to celebrate. I don’t really get it, but they have committed to dumpster diving for nearly washed up marginal players, so it is on brand.

Cannon is out 4IP 4H 1R 1ER 1BB 2K.

Angels squeeze one home. They’re playing FASTs.

If you think the Sox regular line up cannot score, you do not want to see what they’re running out in this B game. They have some pitching depth. Position players? Not so much.

Sosa hits more gappers that almost get over the fielders head than anyone I have ever watched.

Cannon looks okay. He needs a little more swing and miss in his game, but he might make starts for the Sox sometime this year.

DeLoach just dropped a double.

HR Fletcher 5-0 now.

Naturally the Sox score 3 in the game you can’t watch. Angels game is a AAA line up with Cannon pitching.

I think Sox are gonna take whoever is left between Montgomery, Burns, and Smith. Kinda hoping it’s Smith.

Straw is not going anywhere. He has the mother of bad contracts.

It has begun.

You get a sense that he is the top HS player in their eyes, but they are down on the HS crop generally. He is near the top of tier 2 for them.

BA podcast listed these 8 guys as the top tier: Condon, Caglianone, Bazzana, Smith, Burns, Montgomery, Wetherholt, Kurtz, with Kurtz in danger of falling out of the top group. I would be fine with any of them but Kurtz.

Smith also rocking a 50 stache and a 70 mullet. If he’s the pick at 1-5, hard to argue with him.

Crochet out. Lotta pitches this inning. I would not be surprised if he comes back in.

2b for Maldonado. We should s*** talk him more.

"He's a coach on the field."

Maybe he's cooked.

This is the opinion of two guys. They're very entertaining, but hardly the be all and end all of player development talk. Sox have a long way to go, but the important thing is that they fix their ability to draft and develop players. This is merely a symptom. They fix the pipeline, the talent will take care of itself.

Maldonado looks like s*** behind homeplate
