Because I'm a masochist, figured it would be a good thread to trace the guys we lost since DD took over. I'll do prospects only since the Following Former Red Sox thread exists.
Moved in the Kimbrel deal
Logan Allen - 11 k/9 as a 20 year old in low A ball with a 1.01 WHIP. 18 walks in 46 innings though.
Javier Guerra - Repeating High A as a 21 year old SS but struggling with a .622 ops.
Carlos Asuaje is 25 and plays 2B - Has had brief stints in the majors, but nothing special this year in AAA. He did slug .477 in the PCL after he lit it up in the Red Sox system, but hasn't repeated it yet, OPS'ing .662. Probably a bench guy, but could get a look since Padres.
Manuel Margot - started out strong, but now has an OPS+ of 84. He is Bradley-lite in CF though and has plus speed, so if he gets to league average, he's a solid regular. He definitely has time since he's 22.
Moved in the Carson Smith deal (Miley was included and Elias came back)
Jonathan Aro - Hasn't pitched since June of last season. Presumably out of baseball.
Moved in the Aaron Hill deal
Wendall Rijo - Recently bumped up to AA as a 21 year old SS. Zero power, but good glove and a few years to develop.
Aaron Wilkerson - 28 year old in AA.
Moved in the Ziegler deal
Jose Almonte - 21 year old in high A. 68 k's in 58 innings, but very wild 29bb. We have plenty of those guys kicking around.
Luis Alejandro Basabe - The lesser Basabe is a 20 year old 2b in high A. He showed flashes in Greenville but has a .647 ops so far in AZ.
Moved straight up for Pomeranz
Anderson Espinoza - 19 in high A. Hasn't pitched since 6-1 of last year and struggled after he was bumped up to that level. He has had a sore elbow since March. Even if he needs surgery at some point, he is so young, he'll still be young for high A. But he does have a Pedro-like frame, so something to watch.
Moved for Abad
Pat Light - 26 and pitching poorly in AAA. The Twins didn't re-sign him.
Moved in the Chris Sale deal
Yoan Moncada - 22 and ops'ing .897 in AAA, but still striking out 1/3 of the time. 10 of 12 in steals.
Michael Kopech - Unhittable in AA - 25 hits and 68k's in 47 innings, but still a little wild (27). Turned 21 in April.
Victor Diaz - 23 year old pitcher and hurt in high A. Struggled in his 3 appearances.
Luis Alexander Basabe - almost the exact same production as his twin bro (.641 ops) but young (20) for high A and plays CF very well.
Moved in the Thornburg deal (Shaw was included)
Josh Pennington - Hasn't pitched yet due to surgery. Could start the year in short season A. Just an arm drafted in the 29th round.
Mauricio Dubon - 22 2b in AA. His slugging hasn't come around yet in the Brewers system, slugging .374. He has a career 304 minor league average, so he'll probably reach the majors as at least a utility guy a la Marco Hernandez at some point. Or he could be Garin Cecchini.
Acquired for Clay Buchholz
Josh Tobias - 2B. Recently hit Portland, after tearing up high A though he is already 24. He's a "high character guy" according to Soxprospects. 3rd base coach upside.
Rule 5 guys were Justin Haley (made the Twins, but is not good as a middle reliever) and Edwin Escobar (out of baseball).
Edit: clarity. Espinoza has sore elbow, not shoulder.
2nd edit: Removed unruly triple slashes.
