Bello is a total stud

Yes he is.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Yay the weekly Bello win.

 

[GatorMike]

Oh goodie. ESPN telling us to keep our fingers crossed

How is that your takeaway from a fairly balanced, rational draft preview?

 

[Johnnyduke]

Is Bello in ROTY contention or does he not qualify?

He pitched 57 innings last year, which puts him over the 50 IP threshold for eligibility

Either way Jung has that award locked up unless he gets hurt

Well, he'll have more strikeouts than Bello.

Yeah, I thought Yoshida had a chance at it, but it's Jung's, barring injury. I love the new ROY incentives. What a great way to reward teams for finding, and developing MLB talent.

I don't love them using just 3 lists, though. Especially when one of them is ESPN. Why the f*** is ESPN's prospect list one of the deciders for ROY incentives?

It's only July.

How can Jung have it wrapped up? Lots of time left. Rookies often swoon in the 2nd half.

2023 Mock Draft 1.0

With the draft set to kick off Sunday, our lead prospect analyst presents his first mock.

This is a pretty interesting mock draft.

High School catcher is a really risky profile, but Mitchell's extremely talented. And if the money is such that it allows you to take another big swing in the 2nd round... it's worth considering.

I think he's far and away the best rookie in the AL.

2.4 WAR, .271/.321/.482 with 17 HRs and 51 RBIs

He's been really good at 3B with a .987 Fld% -- first in the AL.

Caleb Hamilton DFAed

Jorge "Aquaman" Alfaro is back and signed and will be active tonight.

After opting out last month, Jorge Alfaro is back with Red Sox in catching shakeup

Jorge Alfaro, who began the year in the minors with the Red Sox before opting out last month and landing with Colorado, is back with the organization again - this time, with a big league contract.

Here’s the link.

Alfaro will give you something better than Hamilton did.

And that's all you can ask for because Wong is going to get burned out.

Doesn’t hurt to give Alfaro some run until McGuire is ready. Hamilton was beyond useless and Wong is the #1 catcher so it’s not like Alfaro is going to play much. He’s a better MLB option than Hamilton though.



Gotta get Duvall his ABs against the righty! Cora continues to mismanage the team.

 

[Mione134]

Duran should be playing every game until he gives you a reason not to.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Eovaldi not looking so great

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Amen. Cora is a dolt.

 

[CDJ]

umpire jobbed them, defense embarrassed them shortly after

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Thanks, ump. Fails to do his job and call strikes. From 3-3 going to the B6 to 5-3, Rangers.

And Kiké is a goof.

Our c level bullpen still sucks, bad d or not. Thanks for nothing, Bloom.

I’ll take a C level bullpen over these D level takes.

 

[BruinsFanSince94]

Gotta love Duran now completely out of the game since Cora PH for him.

 

[KesselBuiltMyHotrod]

No one has hit the ball hard this inning and they've got 6 runs.

 

[Mione134]

I like this. Pour it on. Small ball.
