    Should the Red Sox Look into Punto Pt. 2?

    I'd imagine this was posted before but here's some research on the difference between values of picks #33 and #43.

    Kiley McDaniel on Keane: BOS took Sebastian Keane, guessing that will be a good bit north of 125k, Mass prep RHP flashed above average stuff at times https://blogs.fangraphs.com/kiley-mcdaniel-chat-6-5-19/

    Yeah it'll be interesting to follow that. They only took one HS player yesterday, who was reported not to have inordinately high bonus demands, so it seems like they might be able to squeeze him in.

    there's your high-risk/high-reward guy :D

    Yeah as with Cannon seems like a bit of a bet on the player dev department

    2019 MLB Draft - Red Sox tracker

    For what it's worth the FG guys said his slide from where he'd been expected to be taken (late 1st) wasn't due to bonus demands, but yeah we'll see. Should be at least a little over slot, I'd think.

    2019 MLB Draft - Red Sox tracker

    Yeah, I mean obviously whether or not to select a guy like Leiter or Hampton (probably the two toughest signs in the draft?) is sort of like trading up vs. trading down in the NFL draft--whether you want to put all your eggs in one basket or spread out the risk a bit. Not hard to see how the...

    Such as...? I'm no draft expert, but aside from Noah Song (who has military commitments) I don't see any college arms with the same or better FV as Cannon still available at pick 44 on the Fangraphs "BOARD," for instance. Granted, they might be higher on Cannon than other outlets, in ranking him...

    They say it’ll probably be Cameron Cannon (3B) or Nick Quintana (2B) out of Arizona there, just reiterated it on their live chat

    The off-season

    On the other hand, Pomeranz has no major injury issues and didn't exactly fall off a cliff down the stretch--I think any organization would recognize that he may have run into some bad luck with HRs, and generally was able to carry his excellent K/BB from the NL West over to the AL East. Given...

    The 2017 Rotation

    I posted a more lengthy defense of this in the Offseason Thread but I completely agree that O'Neill would be a good, realistic return for Pomeranz if they go that route. Harder for me to see a season of Clay at $13.5M netting much to get excited about.
  17. The Best Catch in 100 Years

    The off-season

    Having trouble seeing Lewis as a realistic return for Pomeranz. Pomeranz's value was significantly higher last July, so the return for him would be significantly less valuable than Espinoza--Pomeranz had some injury issues of his own down the stretch, and an additional half-season left on his...

    Red Sox sign Mitch Moreland

    "Horrible" is a big stretch. You get pretty severely dinged in WAR for being a first-baseman to begin with (start at -12.5 in defensive value in fWAR), and if you look at UZR he's been solidly above-average at 1B every year he's logged over 200 innings there, with his best two seasons coming in...

    Chris Sale to Boston for Moncada, Kopech, & 2 Prospects

    You're glossing over the fact that we now have a ton of SP depth (2 out of Wright, Pomeranz, Buchholz now redundant) from which we could trade to fill other needs.

    Chris Sale to Boston for Moncada, Kopech, & 2 Prospects

    I'm finding it a bit difficult to see this as an "overpay"--some of you guys really think it was possible to get Sale or the equivalent (top 5 pitcher in the league, 27 years old, under contract for peanuts over the next three years) for any less than what the package ended up being?
