Of all the kids, I'm most excited about Teel.
Always been my philosophy that if you've got a catcher who can take and bat middle of the order, everything else will be set from there. An elite catcher is the rarest Shiny Pokemon.
Hamilton fine and Grissom in AAAIsn't that us?
His bat is big time and he’s athletic but he’s still developing his behind the plate gameOf all the kids, I'm most excited about Teel.

Yup pretty exciting, right ?IMO he will be solid, .260-.275 BA 15-18 HR and a consistent 60-70 RBI guy, which I will gladly take along with a great arm.
He will compliment Wong nicely as a RH and LH bat combo.
He should get a promotion to AAA for the rest of the season, has nothing else to prove at AA.

Imagine where the Sox would have been in the '80s if Buddy LeRoux and Haywood Sullivan weren't at the helm. Dwight Evans wrote in his new book that he asked for a trade in '83 because they didn't have a commitment to winning. That was already apparent after Fisk and Lynn in '80, though.I loved those 70 teams - Fisk made it go
They were entertaining as heck
When they let him and Lynn go I can say I hated them

Team is ridiculously stacked positionally. Will be the next Braves, easily. Good times ahead

Maybe the biggest breakout prospect in the minors this year, Campbell was a fourth-round pick last year out of Georgia Tech, where he played 45 games in one season as a redshirt freshman. He’s an excellent athlete who destroyed High A to start 2024, moved up to Double A in June, and has hit .388/.488/.590 at the higher level with just a 17 percent strikeout rate. There’s some BABIP hilarity happening here — he’s at .466 since the promotion, which, I hate to break it to Red Sox fans, is not sustainable — but he has outstanding hand-eye coordination to keep hitting for a high average, and he’s hitting the ball harder and for more power this year. This was a fantastic pick by Boston’s scouting department, with area scout Kirk Fredriksson leading the way.

I have always been of the draft everyday players and pay pitching mindsetNo pitching
Lot of 7-6 games
AgreeI have always been of the draft everyday players and pay pitching mindset
Mets aren't great, but Severino, Manaea, Quintana, Scott, Peterson...getting them by, at a cheap number
It will be interesting to see what Detroit wants for him. He has the best ERA of any pending UFA starter this side of Corbin Burnes.If I was the Red Sox, I'd be targeting Flaherty in Detroit.
For sure, our future is bright, even if we only hit on 3 of the top 5.Yup pretty exciting, right ?
I would move Story to 2B once Mayer is ready to play at the MLB level.Story will be the SS wonder what they do with Mayer next season
Arias going to be a stud also

The Theo Epstein approach is that you develop your hitting in house and you buy your pitching on the marketNo pitching
Lot of 7-6 games
I was actually thinking pretty much same but Cora loves himMayer can play the other 158 games at shortstop Story isn't healthy for.
Martin & Slaton get 2 maybe all 4 in LA & Colorado but even crappy splitting them they end up 3-3For sure, our future is bright, even if we only hit on 3 of the top 5.
We just need some pitching and we can challenge.
I think Hendriks is throwing again and building up arm strength.
Having Giolito in the rotation next year will be a plus.
Sox did this pretty much with 70 power house lineupsThe Theo Epstein approach is that you develop your hitting in house and you buy your pitching on the market
Breslow comes from the same school
