I think he's the best prospect in the system. If Montgomery goes to Kanny and hits as well as Rodriguez has this year we'll all be thrilled about it.

Yea other teams have home grown talent but it's from their latin systems or guys that acquired vie trade or whatever but the Sox have an absurd amount of draft picks from the last 6 or so years contributing as solid backups to solid regulars to stars. McDowell, Ventura, Thomas, Fernandez…Karkovice, Grebeck, Bere, Pall, Radinsky, Thigpen

How does max prep and perfect game make him the #1 prospect in Indiana and MLB pipeline have him as #48 prospect in the draft? Is it because he is from a small school and the coaches didn't see him enough? Edited July 14, 20214 yr by ptatc

Not sure if it good because it recognizes the non-drafted kids or if its bad because the drafted kids don't get recognized.
July 14, 20214 yr Ha, “you got paid you were so good so you don’t need this ribbon if your achievement.”

It almost makes me wish we still had the super long drafts so the 40th round vanity picks would be included.

His hitting seems a little above league average, but nothing special. And Ramos. Ramos DHs half the time and hits about league average. I assume league average is about .250. He is an all around guy, but has shown the best ability to get his tools to show in games and keeps improving as he rises. Kanny is a really difficult hitters park and especially for power. It’s also a huge jump from rookie league which is where he played at 18. He’s been batting lead off, where I’m his k% is down, his walks are up, he’s swiped 18 of 22 bags, and has 8 hrs in 50 games. At only 5’11 he doesn’t have a ton of room to grow, but he just keeps putting it together and feels like he could really put himself on the map in A+ where the park is easier.
