Jacob Gonzalez OPS up to .872. He keeps this up the rest of the season and he just might find himself in a top 100 prospect list come this offseason. Btw, Enrique Bradfield sitting at .682 OPS. I mention because he was often used as an example of poor drafting by the Sox last offseason since Bradfield went two picks later..

I have to admit that, based on my looks at Kanny, I was down on the guy with the exception of his plate discipline. But he has totally remade his swing and looks good.  On his last homer in particular, there was bat speed that you just did not see last year.  So, I'm greatly encouraged and hope to continue to be proven prematurely negative.

This is a nice get for Kanny.  They are at .500, but they have barely anyone of excitement on that squad. 

 

Good to see that the prospects acquired in the Bummer and Sleepy Middleton trades have pitched well for the Dash.

I feel seen.

But I am also very glad for Gonzalez so far.

Along with Aldrin Bautista who was traded for via the dodgers for just cash.

Not even cash. Sox traded international pool space (the right to spend $) in exchange for Batista and Maximo Martinez.

This is why I avoid judging guys the year they are drafted. Seems like we're reading about a completely different guy than the post-draft 2023 Jacob Gonzalez.

I forgot about Drohan honestly.

It appears on the Dash transactions page that Norge Vera was released.

An impressive fall from grace.

Woof.

A starting pitcher who has thrown 70 innings over 4 years. Good riddance.

The Cuban connection was a fun meme, but perhaps it is time that it dies.

It killed itself.

Sounds like Garrett Crochet,  well except for the Latin part.

Crochet is a starter now. Vera has been starting games over parts of 4 seasons.
