Really liking this acquisition. Thanks for the articles! Lee doesn't seem Korean. At least we're trying to get all the first rounders from Berkeley since Oregon State didn't work out so well.

So a 25 year old without a bat that profiles at a position other than catcher and apparently can’t play defense. It’s for Graveman so whatever, but yeah, can see why he’d see a huge drop in the rankings.

Also, Vaughn kinda sucks so if he was the best player on that team, what does it say about Lee? Edited July 28, 20232 yr by baseballgalaly

That LAD asked the Sox to eat $500k due to Trayce when they're eating $12M due to Lynn and Kelly? The Thompson part of this trade is irrelevant. No idea why so many people are focused on it.

This was a concern I had where Hahn obssesses over prospect rankings because he doesn't trust the scouts that he hires and hasn't ever fired. But even so, we are talking about a trade for a middle reliever. He is reasonably athletic. He might just need to keep working. Do we know if he sets up on a knee?
July 28, 20232 yr @oldsox I'd consider this a good sign for Hackenberg. We talked about how the best way to know if sox thought hackenberg was developing was gonna be his promotions. Well, here ya go. When Perez goes down, I assume Xavier Fernandez is gone.
July 28, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: Can you imagine how excited Hahn is to get to spend on relievers again this coming offseason? Clearing out a bad overpaid bullpen and adding depth to a depleted farm system. It looks like someone is cleaning up someone elses mistakes.

July 28, 20232 yr sox just got their catcher for the next 6 years and all it took was a 4.85 xFIP reliever? great move his scouting is all over the place (30 hit tool?) but a 75 overall rank and 50 FV from fangraphs is good enough for me

July 28, 20232 yr Lee is easily the best catcher in the org now. He actually has the exact opposite profile of Quero. If Quero can't stick behind the plate, there's always Lee.
