He would probably complain that he was rushed if they did call him up.

I don’t think you can view the mlb draft like that.

We have no idea if Shirley was actually interested in any of the hitters on the board for that moment, though.

They developed Cease and sort of Giolito.

Wouldn't the rumors of him asking for Spencer Jones (pre his slide) show he has some want for high impact positional players?

Can’t a pick not be traded until the offseason or did that change or am I making this up completely?

Zero evidence of that but okay.

Guess it’s coming in trades. Probably a better strategy since they can develop pitching.

Yes but he wasn’t the first pick.

He is in the war room! He can't respond!

I mean yeah, but Benintedi should have caught that 2 run triple. He went back on it first.

Benintendi is awful.

Soroka got hurt.

Can Eloy go on a cruise to the Bermuda Triangle during the break

How is Eloy fouling back these pitches? Get it together.

Was the defensive positioning bad there? That seemed like it should have been catchable by one of them.

I sort of question his work ethic.

I'm not going to pretend I know all that much about any of these guys, but I would not be mad if it ends up being Jac. The Sox need more power in their system incredibly bad. And if he turns out to be the real deal, he is a guy they would never get in free agency.

Anyone who thinks there is some other path to competing other than completely tearing the whole thing down (like they are doing) is just being obtuse.

Then his post makes even less sense.

Haha grouping the Orioles with the rest of them is hilarious. They are prospect humping RIGHT NOW.

I’m shocked he made it productive enough for him to score, even with them conceding. I assumed he’d hit a fly ball to 2nd base.

Yeah I assumed back in the day it was “extra security” but now there are nets so put the 16 year old kid out there.

I think that would make the most sense for a team that trades for him. Basically say he will be used in the bullpen this year, see how the playoffs go, and then be a full fledged starter again next year with no restriction.

Yeah I think this is cheating some time for him with the ASB and also being cautious before the trade deadline.
