May 1, 2025May 1 I don’t know that it’s worthy of its own thread so I’ll just leave it here. Kiley re-ranked his Sox (and everyone’s) top 10. 1. Schultz 2. Quero 3. Teel 4. Smith 5. B. Montgomery 6. Taylor 7. C. Montgomery 8. Meidroth 9. Bonemer 10. Pallette
May 1, 2025May 1 Thanks for posting. Pallette seems way too high, but not sure who would replace him.

May 2, 2025May 2 Knights have won 7 in a row for the first time in a decade. Pretty impressive with how the rotation was gutted by injury. Top 5 in most hitting stats certainly helps.
May 2, 2025May 2 Gonzo getting his first career look at 3B today 👀 Ball got past him for a single on a play that a career 3B probably makes, but he started a nice 5-4-3 on the next batter. Bergolla at SS, Camiletti at 2B.

Clase. Oppor McDougal more upside. Wolkow eliminated by one bad month? Bergolla and Jeral Perez here maybe...slim pickings. Injuries have killed half of #10-20.

I think you'll see that start to change as starters go fewer innings and become less relevant than before. Relievers are now pitching nearly half the innings in most games.

He was nails his first 3 outings this season and then got shelled in 3 of the next 4. Seemed like the Sox may have been trying to stretch him out. Per Statcast, his average fastball velo was down by about 2 mph this season relative to last season, which might suggest a health issue...although in his last outing, his fastball was at about last year's average. Was walking a lot of guys. Hope he's okay physically, mentally, and however else. And I hope the Sox were supporting him well.

Relievers are now pitching nearly half the innings in most games. If you can go full bore for 2-3 innings like Joel Zumaya or Andruw Miller back in the day... sure. Regardless of right or left handedness. Pallette has good stuff but it's not elite. Grant Taylor or Shane Smith as a reliever would be much closer. Oppor/McDougal, too.
May 2, 2025May 2 I don’t usually rank guys currently in the majors as prospects, especially those who are poised to stick. So, I would go 1. Schultz 2. Hagen Smith 3. Braden Montgomery 4. Bonemer 5.Grant Taylor 6. Teel 7. Oppor 8. Colson Montgomery 9. Wolkow 10. Bergolla 11. Jeral Perez 12. Mogollon 13. Ramos 14. Antonacci 15. Tanner McDougal 16. Wikelman Gonzalez i may be betting the over on a few younger guys based on smaller sample sizes, but I am betting on tools. Ultimately, McDougal and Gonzalez are probably both relievers, but they both have plus stuff, so starting is not impossible.

You'll see them gain importance and relevance. Edited May 2, 2025May 2 by ptatc

May 2, 2025May 2 quite common in A ball the sb numbers will all start to slide or normalize once players hit AA
