Keith Law Top 100


Recommended Posts

For those interested, here were some interesting ones.

1. Konnor Griffin --- this one hurts since we had a shot at him but went with Hagen.

30. Montgomery
44. Bonemer
58. Hagen Smith
66. Billy Carlson
95. Schultz
 

Keith likes the position prospects a little more than others in some areas, but his pitching grades aren't promising for a team who has no pitching.

This isn't true at all. 

You would know and I am happy to hear that....and very happy to be wrong.

I have just not seen anything written nationally that is complimentary of our pitching.

Current and future starting pitching sure looks bleak. This new and improved rebuild is not gonna work either unless they fix that.

We HAVE to get Schultz and Smith back on track to get it fixed.  Those are two huge pieces of this puzzle that could literally move the timeline forward or backward based on what they do in the near future.

Keith Law just had a pretty glowing write-up on Hagen Smith. Towards the end of the season, he looked like the guy from Arkansas. Noah Schultz was pitching injured all year. Both still have top of the rotation upside and should be in the majors by Juneish. Tanner McDougal has ridiculous stuff and he's basically big league ready as well. Christian Oppor isn't far behind. The Sox also have back end options throughout the system and Ky Bush, Mason Adams, Drew Thorpe should all be options by midseason. They'll likely need to spend on pitching at some point but they have some pretty high upside dudes. It's a big year for them.

Thanks so much for the perspective. Prior to the 2025 season, I was very excited with what I thought the starting pitching staff would look like by the end of the year but that never materialized and soured me a bunch. If it happens in 2026 instead, then outstanding.

Taylor too, rotation-wise.

It's done.  Forget about it.  He's a reliever, it's over.

I guess.

Anyway, McDaniel has a less favorable opinion of our prospects:
Bonemer:  34
Schultz:  96
Carlson:  100
4 or 5 in his next 100 I believe

Our drafting team certainly has gotten a pass in all of the reshuffling.
