Dan Szymborski's take on it over at fangraphs.

Link to 2021 Trade Value: #41 to #50 #47 #44 I always enjoy this list.

two potential top 40 picks if the QO system is still in place and Rodon rejects it. It appears from my cursory research this draft is deep on catching at both the college and high school level. Kevin Parada, C, Georgia Tech Hayden Dunhurst, C, Ole Miss Daniel Susac, C, Arizona

I predict it will be low key acquisitions like Escobar and a solid but uninspiring middle reliever. with the price being Pilkington and Rutherford or Adolfo.

Nice post, I think he did a solid C+ job and went in with a directive and what he imagined the sox would need at the macro level when the window opened; Burger and Sheets coming back from the dead is a huge boost. I see the org trying to cultivate waves for where they think they'll need support in the near term and 2024 as well and its finger prints are all over the 2021 draft; 2 young good looking middle infielders, a high school pitcher and a very athletic hs outfielder, they're building to supplement future trades and 2024 The way i see the farm is as follows: You have wave one crashing against the major league roster: Burger, Sheets, Burdi, Lambert, Stiever and Gonzalez. This wave is providing depth but they'll be lucky if they can get one 3WAR stand out. Wave two, the international signings that are in the system or coming shortly and left handed relievers: Cespedes, Colas (when he signs), Cesar Prieto (when he is cleared and possibly signs with the sox), Yolbert Sanchez, Bailey Horn and Konnor Pilkington Wave three (late 2023/2024): This is where the organization has shifted its focus and rightfully so: 2B - Rodriguez (20 A), SS - Montgomery* (19), 3B - Kath* (18), LF - Bailey (19 ROK), CF - Krogman* (20 A), 3B - Ramos (19 A) and the high school aged core of Kelley, Thompson, Dalquist, Vera and McDougal. Sox are in a position where they should continue to go high school heavy at both the international and domestic levels going forward. The core has openings in the corner outfield positions with Vaughn likely taking over for Abreu after this contract; but there could easily be a situation where Sheets or Burger continue to deliver on their draft pedigrees and they take over for Abreu after this contract.

what time does it start today?

I wonder what it will take to sign Stovall, would love to see Montgomery, Kath, and Stovall come up together.

I really like what Miami has done so far, I think they're having the best draft and look forward to seeing what their second round pick will be.

Going in to the second round would love to see any of the following three make there way to the sox: Solometo, Stovall or Kath in that order and if all three of them get snatched up before they pick it would be refreshing to see the org target someone like Jaden Hill.

Madden or Montgomery i'm cool with either.

There goes McGreevy

RIP my dreams, god damn brewers.

Bold prediction Frelick falls to the sox.

I like the pick and going under slot.

In order of availability; its gotta be Yermin, Sheets & Burger. Vaughn is a fixture for this franchise.

can the rays sweep this DH against the tribe, lets hope so

Sox win the series, 7.5 possibly more if the rays do their thing and 16 over .500. Sell Tribe Sell!

Nice play by Burger at 3B!

I'm willing to buy some of that but how does one explain for the reds and d-backs when their catchers rank middle of the pack or below? according to baseball savant. Also looking at that data how did Salvador Perez fall off that much?!?

As we near the mid point of the season here are where the sox are according to Umpire Scorecard. #3 overall in getting screwed behind SF and TB, 9th for hitters, and 2nd for pitchers

Something like Stiever + Sheets + Gonzalez + Burdi

This is why Frazier fits so well, can cover both positions and is left handed and has control beyond this year.

WINNER!!!!!!!!

FUCK TLR for not backing his players and his horse shit management of the pen. Have Liam get 4 outs you fuck.

fuck you blue
