Preseason games are now under way!

Red Sox minor leaguers vs. Northeastern right now on NESN for those that partake.

Catcher not so hot. Is he all-bat guy?
Yup, Hickey can crush the ball — SLG'ed around .500 for Greenville and Portland last year — but probably not viable defensively as a catcher. But probably not enough bat for 1B/DH, either. So... yeah. I guess he's a depth DH option?

edit: On cue he crushes one into the triangle...

Meidroth is another guy that I like more than JM3 does. If he gets near his ceiling he could be the next Tim Teufel!

This Beckstine kid for Northeastern seems like a gritty, scrappy, heady gamer, a lunch pail guy who plays the game the right way.

I'm glad Caron is not the regular announcer. His voice is grating.

I'm not even watching, yet I am confident that his high motor, always running at 110% of maximum, allows him to get the most out of his ability.

I think Rosier’s mom would agree that depends on whether Boston’s recent investments in pitching development can enhance Isaac Coffey’s velocity.
That's a guy I feel like I'm a bit more out on a limb on having him top 30, but I don't talk about him that much.

Wow! Hey! Checking out the game on an hours-long delay. Did you guys have good off-seasons? Mine was okay.
