fathom Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 What a mess. Thompson got one out in 30 plus pitches. More errors than runs in the 3 games so far. With that said, Rodriguez keeps hitting. He’s the lone bright spot in the Sox system this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldsox Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Thompson #7 Prospect. Not convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a coincidence that the Rays have the best record in the AL, AAA, High-A, Low-A and the FCL. The orgs that truly excel at player dev dominate in the minor leagues and the Sox need to catch up.

The orgs that truly excel at player dev dominate in the minor leagues and the Sox need to catch up. The Sox have had a lot of success drafting near MLB-ready players like Vaughn, Madrigal, and Crotchet and trading for near-MLB guys like Moncada, Eloy, Cease, and Gio, but whether they are able to develop the Kelley, Thompson, Dalquist, Montgomery, Kath group is a huge question mark. That's a first, three seconds, and a third on prep players in the past few drafts. Kelley was essentially a second, third, and fourth round pick because he was given a $3 Million bonus which caused them to go way under slot for the next two rounds. The three pitchers are all young for Low-A ball and will be young for the level next year when they repeat the level. I think the Sox should carefully consider who is coaching at Kannapolis next year because Montgomery and Kath will likely be joining those three. Vera might go straight to High-A, but may be sent to Kanny as well once he's stateside. James Beard (4th round prep guy) and Benyamin Bailey might be there as well. This years Kanny squad is 32-76. They're definitely young (20.7 y/o vs league average of 21.3), but the Myrtle Beach squad for the Cubs are the same age and are 54-54. Next year needs to be an enormous step up considering the top picks in the last 3 drafts (minus Vaughn and Crochet) are all there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Kanny made 6 errors and Colonel Klank didn't make one. Amazing. Krogman has 11 errors and he's an OF. Even more amazing. They have to put Goose on an arm strengthening program this off season. A 30 arm won't play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've lost nicknaming rights for any Sox player after this crap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
