Reports on the demise of Samuel Zavala and Jacob Gonzalez appear to have been premature. Seems to me Zavala in actuality is a top ten Sox prospect at minimum, rather than out side of the top 30 as was widely reported. Gonzalez appears closer to prospect he was considered at time of draft. Admittedly that was underwhelming for the pick. He looks likes hes back to actual prospect status at least

Got to like the long term depth behind Montgomery, Vargas and Meidroth. Antnacci, Bonemer, Carlson, Gonzalez, Bergolla, then if you pencil Cholowosky. Big difference between that and 2020 rebuild where you had Moncada, Eloy, Robert, TA, Vaughn, etc with little to nothing behind them. Catcher should be good with Teel/Quero/Romo. With Zavala back to looking like a legit prospect and Braden looking more and more like a cant miss, OF outlook seems a bit better than I thought. Pereira/Zavala/Montgomery could be pretty good down the line.
