The 2016 rebuild didn’t fail because the Sox didn’t sign Machado or Harper. It failed because they drafted so poorly. Spending a top 5 pick on a weak singles hitter is so so so so dumb. Meidroth is a breath of fresh air, and it fits a theme. The new regime has been targeting hitters who’ve shown the ability to get on base consistently. Would like to see Meidroth, Vargas and Tauchman in the same lineup

Meidroth seems like the type of the player the previous regime was seemingly allergic to. He can play multiple positions, he sees a ton of pitches, and he gets on base at a high clip. He’s the type of player the Sox have been missing for a long time. Hahn/KW wouldn’t even sign bench/UTL guys like that in FA. Edit: Spelling

Nice swing from Baldwin

I’d rather see so many other people out there at 1B

Meidroth batting 7th is crazy. Should be batting 9th, 1st or 2nd

It’s a very good flex. This is hopefully something that takes hold throughout the org and becomes a trend. Imagine this stat with good players.

To be fair, they didn’t draft him or Gonzalez. That 2023 first round pick really could’ve accelerated this rebuild.

The graphics on the channel aren’t bad at all. I just they spent some money on the app and fixed the interface, it’s unusable.

It was a good idea just didn’t work out

I’m curious to see the moves that they make going forward (starting from this just recent offseason) with more of Getz’s people are in place. There’s Ryan Fuller and there’s the new analysts in the organization

So the minor leagues starting, looking at the Sox system. I think these are their biggest needs are players who can hit for power, and guys who are premium athletes. Not saying you should draft for need, always take the BPA but their needs are loud. My favorite guys for the Sox as of today are (in no particular order): Jace LaViolette, Gavin Fein, Eli Willits, Avia Arquette, Billy Carlson, Sean Gamble, Liam Doyle, and Jaden Fauske.

If Baldwin can just be league average with the bat, he can be a highly valuable player.

Pause

The lineup yesterday made sense. The platoon deployment of Sosa and Slater made sense and worked out. The moves to the pen made sense. They’re not going to win many games but I’m expecting a professional baseball team and a manager who knows how to use his roster.
