True. I was a big fan of the Anderson pick because the upside in all of his xbh was evident.

Ouch. His profile is so strange that consistency would be one selling point. Sox getting close to a decision point that I would have thought unlikely a year ago: Long-term are the Sox better with Madrigal at second and Moncada at third OR Moncada at second and Burger at third? Moncada's not a great second baseman, but neither is Madrigal. And at least Moncada has the arm to consistently turn two. Right now defensively Burger @ 3rd > Madrigal @ 2nd.

I was anti-Madrigal, meh Singer, pro-Kelenic, but I'm wrong plenty, so that means nothing. Hopefully, the Sox are making a turn to at least considering more HS hitters. Removing an entire category of players from consideration is no way to have success in the draft.

Ugh, I’m getting a bad feeling about all these missed opportunities. Letting KC stay in the game.

Leury is tough to watch.

He was one bad umpiring call away from giving up 6 runs.

I've always liked Dedelow's swing, but Romy Gonzalez??? His numbers are crazy. I get he's 24 and best case scenario is a Mendick, but... fun.

7 K's in 3 IP for Bilious tonight. He's a little old for the level, but seems like he might have a future. Possibly coming out of the pen?

97ish

Sadly Ramirez is under team control for two more friggin' years. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/cleveland-indians/jose-ramirez-14106/

My post did not age well.

Rutherford's hitting too. Or they could bring up another pitcher. Literally anyone makes more sense than Lamb at this point.

Wow. Non Ruiz righties in Sox pen really slumping.

Hope that's a strike for everyone else too. Not close.

Bend, don't break defense!

This is the tightest 6 run lead in history.

Crochet's gotta be available, right? He faced 2 batters yesterday.

Thank God. Don't stop now, boys.

Looks like Marshall's gonna need that college degree.

Is Ruiz the best righty in this pen?

Nobody on, 1 out in the 7th with a 5 run lead, it’s Bummer time? Shows you how little the Royals got into the Sox pen this weekend.

Ugh. He was the guy I was most excited about. So far 2021 is not as much fun as I was hoping.

I believe the Sox have limited Carlos a little to hold down his innings, hence the 2 long layoffs between starts. That said, they have 4 more years of control with Kopech. 0 with Carlos. I believe they will act accordingly.

Gonzalez is hurt too? I used to joke that Engel had a cursed doll that injured his cf competitors do he could stay in the majors. I think Billy Hamilton found it in Engel’s locker. Things are so desperate that Merkin is predicting Cespedes makes the majors this year. Meanwhile, I eagerly await his first professional ab. in other IL news, is Krogman hurt? He left mid game on Thursday then did not play last night.

Krogman 2-3 with 2 walks. Seems pretty advanced for a guy who's barely played pro ball.
