caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Flores has been (pretty) quietly having a very nice season...era in the mid 2’s. All the focus on that team has been with Cease, the five outfielders and Sheets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 I will definitely go with Sheets in that contest...although you never know, Engel could accidentally run into one before he joins the Jamey Carroll Lifetime Cushy MLB Pension Club.

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 I think Stephens is going to wind up being that surprise prospect that ends up in the starting rotation. He's been looking really good so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been looking really good so far. A few years ago at Soxfest, Nick Capra, then a minor league guy, maybe the director, was asked for a sleeper. He mentioned Stephens. He said he thought he as just as good as Fulmer who had been with the team for 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Not sure why I’m putting this here except it’s often the same crowd: but as I watch Juan Soto belt a HR in his first mlb at bat, I have to say that while it has its misses (usually with mid tier catcher obsessions), soxtalk is pretty damn good at identifying big prospects early. Soxtalkers were all over Acuna and Soto early, and like a year later they are in bigs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nowhere near top 10 when he became popular. albies I’ll give half credit for since he was a top 20 prospect at time, so not that impressive. Dont forget with Peavy that Alan Hansen was a big one too. Looking back that trade was just a parade of bad prospects. Avi may legit have been best, Iglesias probably though.
