April 12, 2025Apr 12 If Youkilis is the Greek God of Walks...what ethnicity is Meidroth? Four-spiel? Something like that was his Red Sox nickname for four balls.

April 12, 2025Apr 12 https://sonsofsamhorn.net/index.php?threads/chase-meidroth.42476/ "This is intentionally deceptive because Pedroia showed a lot more power than Meidroth has below AAA. That was the only level he didn't have an ISO above .160. He had an ISO of .184 in AA for example. So you knew there was power possibility there. Meidroth has never had an ISO above .122 except for a small sample in A ball." Edited April 12, 2025Apr 12 by caulfield12
April 12, 2025Apr 12 Teams are pushing their prospects these days. When Quero, Teel and anyone else is ready, bring him up (with exceptions for the date where you get an extra year of control); nothing to be gained languishing in Charlotte. I can't remember the Sox rushing prospects in the last decade or so, except for a few pitchers rushed into the bullpen. Why can't the Sox draft someone like Meidroth? Ever.

You don’t remember rushing Andrew Vaughn? Oscar Colas? I’m sure there were many others during the second half of the KW / Hahn regime. We’re losing 110 games at minimum. Call up the prospects when they show that they are ready. Meidroth met those conditions. Quero and Teel will be up at some point, but both could use a bit more minor league seasoning.

I just don't think it does the player any good to leave them in the minors when they are ready for the majors. And not much good ever happens for the Sox in Charlotte, anyway. It's like a back hole. Anderson, arguably, was rushed. Presuming Vaughn hit well at the alternate site, I'd say, no, he wasn't rushed. He looks like a hitter - he just can't hit. Colas may have been rushed. Now he's been de-rushed. He may be the next OF candidate.

They just wanted to give him a bit of a runway of success instead of dropping a slumping IF onto his first opening day roster.

April 12, 2025Apr 12 Meidroth seems like the type of the player the previous regime was seemingly allergic to. He can play multiple positions, he sees a ton of pitches, and he gets on base at a high clip. He’s the type of player the Sox have been missing for a long time. Hahn/KW wouldn’t even sign bench/UTL guys like that in FA. Edit: Spelling Edited April 13, 2025Apr 13 by Boopa1219

Hahn/KW wouldn’t even sign bench/UTL guys like that in FA. Good point. I think they tried with Madrigal, but they were just obsessed with the high batting average and low strikeouts and didn't realize that he couldn't draw walks. He just weakly swung for contact when he was down to 2 strikes.

Spending a top 5 pick on a weak singles hitter is so so so so dumb. Meidroth is a breath of fresh air, and it fits a theme. The new regime has been targeting hitters who’ve shown the ability to get on base consistently. Would like to see Meidroth, Vargas and Tauchman in the same lineup

You could plop me into any random thread and give me 24 hours to come up an obscure reference, and I couldn’t come close to the randomness you come up with on a regular basis.
April 13, 2025Apr 13 Moving past random Steve Bannon references, Chase Meidroth is currently on a ~16 fWAR pace. What happens if he ends up winning rookie of the year? I know that since he isn’t a top 100 prospect anywhere, we won’t be eligible for draft pick compensation if he wins. However, would we lose a year of service time if this were to happen?

Quero should be up once Narvaez stops looking playable. Both will be here by June regardless. Which will make for some interesting roster decisions since Lee and Thaiss are legit big leaguers.

If you have both Teel and Quero, that means one is DHing and one is catching. To me, you have the option to carry a 3rd catcher.

Logically they'd keep developing Lee as a youngish RH option...which of course means they end up trading him instead of Thaiss.

My current thinking is only those eligible as top 100 guys get the extra draft pick sort of as compensation for losing the year of eligibility. But I'll admit that's my shot in the dark guess at making sense of those things. Edited April 14, 2025Apr 14 by CaliSoxFanViaSWside
