Now I know the two Sox pitchers reek many times but they are 'name' players. Not a negative Nancy but Angels win this trade cause we needed one more prospect to be called winners. Quero is 5-11, 170. Grandal is 6-2; Sal Perez 6-3. Our two new players definitely will advance to the majors which is a positive. See how they do when they get there. Wish we got a taller catcher was also my first reaction

July 27, 20232 yr "Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 Signed for $200,000 in February 2021, Quero has gone from Cuban U-15 standout in 2018 to top catching prospect in a hurry. Because he was almost 18 when he signed, he skipped over the Dominican Summer League and made his pro debut in the Arizona Complex League in 2021, playing well enough to get bumped up to full-season ball. He spent the 2022 season with Single-A Inland Empire and took home California League MVP honors after posting a .965 OPS. A switch-hitter with more power from the left side of the plate, Quero barrels up the ball consistently from both sides. He has an advanced approach with excellent plate discipline, drawing a ton of walks in the early stages of his pro career. He has the chance to be at least an above-average hitter when all is said and done, and his ability to tap into his raw pop took a nice step forward in 2022, with more over-the-fence ability to come as he continues to figure out when to attack pitches in the zone. Quero moves well behind the plate and has a solid arm, but there’s still work to be done on other facets of his defensive game, from his receiving to his game-calling. He’ll be just 20 for all of the 2023 season, leaving the Angels optimistic those skills will sharpen, giving them a potential big league starting catcher as a result." mlb.com scouting system report #9 ranked catcher in the minors currently

July 27, 20232 yr Quero is a legit prospect. Callis and Mayo at Pipeline have been high on him. Probably slots in at #3 on Sox list ahead of Jacob Gonzalez. This does not suck for two rentals.
July 27, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, fathom said: Bush has had a terrible season, but only 8 outings. Quero’s stats last year were nice His power is lacking this year, but got to love those plate discipline rates for a 20 year old catcher in AA.
July 27, 20232 yr I'm sorry but as long as RH is making these deals I will have no faith in them working out. He should of been fired after last season and for sure fired at the all star break. The fact he is still employed and making these deals tells you he will indeed be back next season.
July 27, 20232 yr https://www.milb.com/player/edgar-quero-700337 718 ops in AAA right now Pretty sure the same hometown as Yasiel Puig lol.
July 27, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, caulfield12 said: Angels have Bottom 3-5 farm system right? So do the Sox, but here we are with Montgomery and Schultz. MLB and BA have Quero as a back half of the top 100 guy.
July 27, 20232 yr "Quero is one of the yoiungest players in AA, is developing as a catcher, and is among the Top 100 prospects in the game. Bush has a four pitch mix, a left handed starter who has upside. We are pleased we are adding Bush and Quero tonight." - Rick Hahn Press Conference
July 27, 20232 yr To be clear, I don’t even care if these guys end up being crap. I say trade anyone from this roster for as much as you can get. This team is years away from contention, so might as well try to stock up on prospects again.
