https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2025/12/blue-jays-tyler-rogers-agree-to-three-year-deal.html wild amount of money for this guy and one thinks Fairbanks stands to make more. Do not want.

I don’t trust any of these projection models. Sosa, Robert, Montgomery being the worst hitters in the lineup simply does not check out to me.

You’re literally the board police! also nice alliterative name. Never heard of this dude. Can’t be worse than cboozthesock. Cam never even did a song with twista.

Dick...I mean Emerson. The other guy that might go 1.

do not want

Well I’m glad we have him.

Oppor is a lefty and my caveman brain thought McDougal was too.

Antonacci is more obp than he is power. So it’s an interesting description although it seems accurate. I think I wrote yesterday, Antonacci does have superior power potential but it’s like 15ish homers a year and 30 doubles at best. That’s a good player.

Carlson is a better defender, thus you might want to keep him at SS; on the other hand, there are a lot more left-handed hitters these days so maybe you want your best defender at 2b. I’d think, if everyone pans out, Colson moves to 1b (back issues and stuff) and Cholo goes to 3b. Assuming they pick him. Grady seems more like a 2b

He’s the best RHP in the system, is mlb ready and can be hidden on the IL/off the 40 man until further notice. Unless there’s some huge drop in ability that nobody has reported on, it’s certainly surprising. He’s a better prospect than Pallette to be sure and both are ready to be in mlb.

Shane Smith, Mike Vasil, those guys are awful. Hate that they’re on the team.

Yeah I think he’ll be back. We didn’t protect Mason right? That guy should’ve been picked. Him and Murphy could turn in potentially above average seasons in mlb. Adams especially since he’s still on the IL I believe.

Hate that we didn’t protect Pallette. Pleased he was the only guy taken though, he wouldn’t have been my first choice of the guys we didn’t protect. I know nothing about the two guys we selected but there is now an “Alexander Alberto” and “Alexander Albertus” in the system. Griff McGarry is the guy I liked and the Nats took him right after us.

Yeah I would've liked watching him next year and I bet he'd win us some games, it's just a lot of money and I can't see him getting any better or even propelling the team to the playoffs. I think it makes sense for Philly, for other teams it feels like the Benintendi special. Tucker is the only high-priced American hitter I'd want out of this free agent class and that's unfortunately not gonna happen. Okamoto is the guy I'd really want the Sox to make a run for. I think the class next year looks better and we have another year of seeing who's actually useful and who needs to be replaced.

Why did any Sox fan even want Schwarber? He's a nice player, but he's 32-years-old and can't play a position. Certainly doesn't fit within the timeline of a team that is just starting to tread out of its rebuild. I'm glad he's sticking in Philly. They really like him there. Some of my Philly friends compare him to Ryan Howard, not just in their power/eye kinda game, but their impact off the field. Schwarber is a fan favorite and the city likes him, he was obviously gonna stay there. He wasn't getting that sort of love on the north side.

I think Emerson could be the pick but I really prefer a college guy if Roch can play like he did last season. Bonus points: another MLB player from my high school and the best prospect it's produced since Terrell Suggs (or 4th rounder Bellinger if you prefer).

I think everyone in the top 10 will be a real impact MLB player. Cool that they put some respeck on Bonemer's name, that guy is so good. Hagen vs Carlson is interesting. Is that due to Hagen's strong AFL performance/end of season or are they docking Billy a little bit? I think Oppor and Antonacci could both rise up the ranks. Oppor seems like a surefire top 100 prospect, I almost like him better than our other lefty prospects, but I think Antonacci could be there too. OBP machine, I think he has a little more power in his game than he's shown. Not like 20+ homers, but maybe he could hit 10 next season and 30ish doubles.

very solid draft at the top. good news! the college SS is the highest rated by FV in years.

Jasson Dominguez or Spencer Jones or I’m not interested. Hopeful the Yankees land Tucker and/or Bellinger for this reason.

I liked Hsu Jo Hsi but he signed with Fukuoka last week for $10mil USD

i thought you whiners were mad that the team didn't scout npb and kbo

his value is going to increase. why would you trade him after a 5 ERA season when he's clearly much better than that? what's the rush?

Calling Ronny a prospect is a stretch. Was worse in 2025 than 2024 at A level, his power evaporates year by year and he’s ok behind the plate but can’t throw anybody out. If he ever reaches mlb, he’s likely a 1b without any power. I’d be surprised if he ever gets past AA frankly. If you’re the Red Sox, I guess it’s better than DFAing a guy for nothing but the dude is the epitome of a lotto ticket.

Presumably not which is precisely why he should throw a slower fastball with movement. His four-seam is a fuckin meatball.

Hate the rule changes but I think it’s fair to say baseball has experienced a resurgence under him. Whether or not he has anything to do with it, I’m not sure, but I have the feeling the MLB will inevitably usurp the NBA in popularity.
