Dominikk85 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Interesting he sees crochet more likely as a reliever. I still hope they try to make him a starter and don't push him as a reliever too much. Needs to work on minors on third pitch, stamina and command Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 So Crochet is going to be in the bullpen in 2021? I know some won’t like that. As for the rankings, Bailey was easily the most pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ron883 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Amazing that he still has Madrigal currently as a 60 grade runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 Also, the write ups for this are interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find yourself someone who will love you as much as Longenhagen loves Nick Madrigal. Edited December 18, 2020 by Harold's Leg Lift 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However what is if there is no minor league season again or a very shortened one? Do you keep him at the site throwing sim games or do you put him into the pen in the majors? And do you put him back in the minors after two years of consecutive mlb exposure? The situation is really not easy, I hope there will be an milb season where he can work on his starting because if he has to pitch in the majors and is an ace 2WAR closer (essentially a 50 rv but probably more 55 due to leverage) they might just keep him there and give him the closer job.

Obviously if there is no MiLB season, you have to adjust, and it makes it reasonable to roll with Crochet on the major league roster.

Yeah, the question then is if he is done as a starter then or you take the time to send him back. Still young enough even after 2021 but I wonder if the sox would really do it.

bmags Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I suppose it could be mentioned that Arraez was dfa'd. Anyway, his list looks more like my list, but I found the BA list much more interesting. But...this is tough. I think our system is very interesting because with msot of these guys graduated or near it, the best of the rest we just know very little about. So there is a lot to dream on based on favorable instructs, but I really want to see these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 His grades, future grades and writeups don't add up. It's very confusing to read. It's like he's trying to cover as many feasible outcomes as possible so he won't be "wrong." Oh well whatever. He's crazy high on Burdi. He must have seen him good somewhere in college.

How is a 40+ grade "crazy high"? 40 basically means a 1 win player/low leverage reliever Also Which grades don't add up?

Harold's Leg Lift Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I meant his ranking is crazy high. I get it falls off a cliff after 5 but come on man. Dalquist and McClure both add up to a 51 but he has them as future 40's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
