I have no idea how he is going to be able to throw 100 pitches over 6-7 innings every 5 days for 30+ starts a year. We'll see how he looks as the season progresses. Maybe he's a freak.
February 21, 20242 yr I like that dude. He does a lot of good things on the baseball field and as they say, that's how they look. Power, speed, defense, arm. He can affect the game in different ways which is what you want from a top pick. He has swing and miss but hopefully an approach adjustment can help that.

Every year in college, Honeycutt has cut down on his strikeouts and increased his walks and on base percentage. That bodes well. The narrative about him striking out a lot is overblown.

February 21, 20242 yr Honeycutt coming on would be huge for this draft whether the Sox draft him or not. So few guys profile as up the middle plus athletes that he could zoom to 1-1. I am still wary of his hit tool, but it is nice to see him off to a good start.

Great D, good power, good speed.
February 22, 20242 yr I have no idea how he hit this pitch for a HR. He cleared his front and backside. I'm very intrigued by the idea that Cags might be able to play RF.
February 23, 20242 yr Author This sounds crazy. But then I realized I have no context for what types of numbers highly regarded prep players put up.

February 23, 20242 yr I will say that overslotting in this year’s draft, picking at 5, seems like a huge mistake.

February 24, 20242 yr Someone’s pre draft model had the Sox taking Hagen Smith at 1-5. I can see why they would think so. There’s some Crochet vibe to him. Of course, if he keeps striking everyone out, maybe he won’t be there. As I have said, I would not pop pitching that early, but I think Getz may disagree.
February 24, 20242 yr Bonemer is a really strong kid w/a quiet simple swing and big time power potential. He gives me some Brady House vibes.
