How about a low mileage Flexen? Or a factory-reconditioned Fedde?

Sox in such an interesting position. There is either risk or low upside fears with just about everyone in this draft. I think Condon is pretty safe. Everyone else is a crapshoot. I prefer high risk/high reward like Griffin, but Bazzana has decent upside with less risk. I wonder what the Sox are thinking.

Pipeline has him at #23 in the Sox system and they slap a 40FV on him. Love Jim Callis, but this is insane. Anyone who saw him last year at W-S would have been at least 45+ once he proved he could play short. Hitting .330 all year at higher levels, I think he's a 50.

David Fletcher has converted to being a knuckleballer while he's being investigated for gambling. He has held the Barons to 2 runs and he's pitching into the 9th!

HR Baldwin.

Great catch by Fletcher.

No one is throwing Wolkow any strikes. He's really gonna get a chance to work on discipline. He just walked.

He gave up 5R 5ER. Sidenote: Chuckie Robinson is not great at blocking balls.

Toussaint done. 3IP 6H 3R (so far) 3ER 4bb 3K. 10 baserunners in 3 innings is pretty special.

Watching Touki Toussaint has not gotten any more enjoyable.

Colas threw a guy out at home on an epic throw. 2b for Ramos. K for Baldwin.

bb for Montgomery but concerning swing and miss at velocity in the zone.

Schultz is out. 2 runs and leaves with the bases loaded. Batted ball luck destroyed him in the outing.

3 singles against Schultz. Combined exit velocities might be 100 mph.

Crawford is like his Dad. Great defensively in leftfield.

Montgomery reaches on Catcher Interference in his first ab. Has made a couple of nice plays at third.

Yeah, but they're about to be 2-16 in his starts cuz they have no luck and cannot hit.

Elias just confirmed they're not trading Mayo or Holliday. They have no one else I'd take as the headliner in a deal for Crochet. I suppose they would still be in on Fedde, but I'd be shocked if the Sox deal with them. I bet the O's trade people in the Jud Fabian tier for a rental.

If there was an ABS challenge system in this game, the Sox would be challenging every third pitch.

From your lips to God's ears.

If you keep Crochet after the deadline, they'll be pairing young guys like Cannon, Bush, Eder, Mason Adams, Davis Martin etc. Flexen will be traded if anyone offers anything.

Feels like maybe the Sox should trade Flexen right now. During the game. His value is never gonna be higher.

This performance is shocking because it is so one-sided. Flexen is throwing to a normal strike zone. Pirates are throwing to the Grand Canyon. I'd check his friends' Fan Duel accounts for this game.

That turn by Sosa was pathetic. He's 1b/3b/dh, if he hits. Maybe an occasional fill-in at 2b. Bring Baldwin up after the trade deadline.
