Red Sox/MLB 2024 Regular Season 3 - After 90 games the Sox are 50-40

[Mione134]

Big win going into the break. We better be buyers!

 

[BigGoalBrad]

Crap it’s in Dallas?! I’m going there for work Tuesday I could have flown tomorrow and seen home run derby?

 

[SPV]

At the All-Star break, the Sox are on pace to win 90 games.

Just like we all expected.

If I had a dollar for every time I was wrong about our Boston sports teams, I’d have several hundred extra dollars by now.

Why didn’t he treat the them seriously in the offseason?

John. Henry.

Well hot damn!

I remember an organization pissed they didn’t win the division

John. Henry.

Henry was at multiple games - maybe all but he was seen at least twice these past week and was interacting with players and coaching so there’s that

Verdugo a clown

The manager who made him play short did it

Patriots ?

Red Sox just need to get back to a team that’s consistently an 86-100 win team

The manager who made him play short did it

Was that Boone ?

 

[DKH]

I understand not paying a tax- honestly if I owned team my budget would be 90% of salary cap to allow flexibility to pick up quality talent from July 16-31

I would not do what Celtics & Mets do

If the ceiling is 220 M I’ll go there no problem but over blah

I think they are going to spend

Well, not the full quote.

Great way to go into the break.

Verdugo also hitting .235.

 

[Donnie Shulzhoffer]

Well, not the full quote.

My point still stands

Patriots ?

Was that Boone ?

Yes. Let’s embrace average and keep our fingers crossed

Last minute Draft Buzz...

There's talk that the first 10 picks in the draft could all be college players. That would be a first.

Teams just outside the Top 10 (...Red Sox included) have incentive to cut deals.

Not judging or questioning his election….but Beltre was only a 4x All Star.

I have no idea what the average number of all star appearances is for HOF players, but 4 seems low.

Every team must be represented

Nick Kurtz 1B goes 4 to Vegas

I get that….

But he played, what 18 years?

Just seems like 4 is low for a HOF guy.

 

[GatorMike]

Not loving how the draft is shaking out for the Sox to this point.

Kind of looking like they might look to cut a deal.

Edit: After the last few picks, I kinda like where the Sox are sitting now.

Montgomery's ranks...

Baseball America - 7th
MLB Pipeline - 8th
ESPN.com - 9th
The Athletic - 4th

 

[KOZ37]

Draft worked out pretty well. Sometimes injuries work in your favor.

 

[Mr Cartmenez]

So the Sox got Monty afterall.

I like it a lot. Another player that was supposed to go higher and dropped a few spots like Teel last year. With his arm strength, he's a perfect match for Fenway RF.

Montgomery Scouting Reports:

The Athletic: "Montgomery is a true switch-hitter, with better results hitting from the left side but plenty of bat speed from the right side as well. He uses the whole field better batting left-handed and his plate discipline is substantially better from that side. He’s got a cannon of an arm, and is technically a two-way player with two innings pitched this year, projecting as a solid-average defender in right. There’s some risk with the hit tool here, as his offspeed recognition isn’t great and he will expand the zone when behind in the count, but he has 30-homer upside as a switch-hitting right fielder if he makes enough contact for an average hit tool."

MLB Pipeline: "Montgomery had more of a hit-over-power profile in high school but that has reversed in college. A switch-hitter with strength and a quick, aggressive stroke from both sides of the plate, he does more damage as a lefty hitter and his plus power plays to all parts of the ballpark. He has improved his plate discipline and his ability to handle breaking balls during the last two seasons, but he still swings and misses at pitches in the zone a bit too often and will chase non-fastballs."
