That is from 2016 though. You figure that he could/should have improved in the last 3 years??

Just because it’s old doesn’t make it still true. Let’s say he was terrible back then and made some improvements. Based on the way they’ve worded it, I’d still expect him to be below average. It’s not like the Sox have been aggressive with him either, and that tells me they realize he most likely isn’t anything more than an organizational bat. He is 26 and just now made it to Triple-A.

Henzman 54 pitches through 6 innings... uh.. yea he may go the distance at this rate. 

He isn't striking anyone out anymore. I wonder what he is working on.

17 year old Cuban Bryan Ramos 2-2, 2B, R so far.

This guy is interesting.

What does Yermin Mercedes need to do to get some attention. 

Lose 20 pounds, learn how to catch and be three years younger.

Is there any data suggesting the Mercedes is a bad defensive catcher? 45% caught stealing. Seems like atleast an average catcher defensively? Or am I way off?

He's got an arm. Check the passed balls though.

Great to see BIR start to hit finally

Yeah seriously. Robert and Madrigal rollthrough and all of a sudden Rutherford, Gonzalez and Sheets wake from their naps.

He was a minor league rule 5 pick. There is no chance they protect him. 

Wasn't he a rule 5 pick in December '17? I guess I am not totally sure how the minor league phase works but they held him all throughout last year. What stipulation are you speaking to here?

True and I have no idea if hes any good defensively. Don't most catchers come to the big leagues later though? They take a little more time to develop defensively?

I just meant that they aren't going to use a 40-man spot on Mercedes.
