Looks like Charlotte will finish yesterdays game and then Murphy goes in the second game.

What's the deal with this Boston Smith fella? He's a little old for A+ (23), but not egregious. He's a catcher that is posting a 1.043 OPS with a .294 BA, .435 OBP and 9 HRs in 30 games in A+. He's off to one hell of a start in A+. He is striking out 30% of the time though. Gotta lower that a bit.

Getz got him for Mead. Kudos to Getz once again. Hopefully this guy can become a major leaguer.

3 IP for Mason Adams in his 2nd rehab start with WS. 2 ER on 3 H and 1 BB.

His control looks a bit better than I expected this early.

Jacob Gonzalez with 2 HRs today. Mashed both of them, which is nice to see. Would have gone out in any stadium. His home-away splits still scare me (1.206 OPS home, .756 OPS away).

Beat me to it

Back-to-back for Montgomery (grand slam) and Gonzalez.

Wow, so 3 HRs for Gonzalez today

Gonzalez has 3HR in the near doubleheader

Gonzalez might be legit now…feel nervous saying that, but it’s starting to get hard to ignore the numbers home park be damnded.

Oppor starting in the ACL game. Hopefully the start of getting back on track.

Call him up!

Jesus Gonzo. That's a loud game.

This infield situation is going to be fascinating next year. We have a SS who is on pace for 6+ fWAR, a 3B on pace for 5+ fWAR, and a 2B on pace for +3 fWAR. Throw in Roch, Gonzalez, Burgolla, & Baldwin and there simply isn’t room for them all even if you assume Antonacci sticks in the OF.

Bonemer as well

I excluded him just due to expected ETA, but it’s possible he reaches next year and adds to the (good) problem.

Sadly I think Bonemer is going to end up as bait in a blockbuster assuming the team enters 2028 expecting to contend. But, we have a such a glut of players here that we can certainly absorb losing him, even if he turns into a 4 WAR player as you noted, for now we (crazily) have a few of those types.

In more immediate concerns, how much longer can you really keep Gonzo down there? Two weeks? If he keeps hitting even anywhere close to this he can probably help us as our weakness is backup SS general utility infielder. We're at the point where if we keep around .500 we need all hands on deck. They brought up Sandlin suddenly so it seems the Sox are thinking similar.

I'd prefer Antonacci at 2B as opposed to Meidroth if I had to choose. Ideally we find a true LFer to play there instead of Antonacci. Eventually we'll have to deal Meidroth IMO. I wonder what type of value he has as a 3 WAR 2B under control for a while.

Charlotte's a weird place, but 440....my goodness.
I guess there is a logjam on the 26 man, but 440.
Even if they want to trade him, get a real idea of his value; because when drafted, he was supposed to be able to hit. It may have all been a slow start and this isn't a fluke.

That ball was out in like the old Ebbets field. 108+ off the bat. I don't know how he's done it, but if you look at his swing it's transformed. Maybe it doesn't work in MLB but dude was a slap hitting shitter coming into pro ball and now he's like a legit big load big power lefty that also can play a solid middle infield.

Tickles me pink to see another lefty slugger (for now at least) coming up. What a great time!

I am interested in seeing how he plays in the majors. I feel like his trade value is still pretty low. Too bad he's a lefty and our team is damn near all left handed.

I think Benintendi is somewhat the blocker for Gonzalez. I think once we get to the All-Star break there becomes a real chance that they consider cutting bait on Andrew and open up the DH for a rotation that could include Gonzalez.

I really wonder if they could do a deal where we send out Beni, 5 million and some team's pick of our back 15-20 type prospects and then a lotto ticket. napkin math says we still owe him like 25 million (puke) so even that seems a stretch. There's no world in which we eat all the money imo. What a horrific deal by Hahn, you just can't explain it, never made any sense.

Oppor went 2 innings, 0 hits, 3 walks, 3k’s today in the ACL.

I dont think Roch will be MLB ready by the beginning of 2027. He will likely need at least 1 full year in the minors and so we're really looking at some point in 2028 and we'll see if Colson is still a defensive maven at SS then as his stats say he is now.

There are alot of moving pieces and unpredictability but yeah things could get crowded at certain spots at some point and that's a good problem to have where you can trade some surplus or blocked players for other needs at some point.
