For people who don't want to bother looking it up: #1 - Roderick Arias - SS, Switch Hitter. Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 #5 - Colas, who we're all familiar with at this point.: Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 60 | Run: 55 | Arm: 55 | Field: 55 | Overall: 55 #28 - Hernandez, once again to have it in one post. Scouting grades: Hit: 60 | Power: 55 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 55 So he's got comparable hit and power to Arias and Colas, but lower run, arm, and field by a tick.

I mean if we get that, that would be incredible, but those are obviously future grades based on literally everything going 100% perfectly, but I love getting that kind of potential into the system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BamaDoc Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 In their top 30, Colas at 22yo. Another guy is 18. Everyone else is 16yo. So to find these guys you are scouting and developing 13-14yo? Like going to the little league fields and going "yep he's a major leaguer, heres 2 million" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then they try to hide them from other teams until they are 16. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boopa1219 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 I'm more excited by Hernandez than Colas. If the Sox want to be competitive year round like the Dodgers and Rays, then they need to invest more resources into the DR and Venezuela, instead of just focusing on older Cuban players. 15 hours ago, thxfrthmmrs said: His comp is Juan Soto… Not too bad.

G13 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Hopefully the Sox have enough $ left to lock up Cesar Prieto. With 2B open next yr, I think he might be talented enough to make that jump. He hit over .400 in Cuba and is left handed. Any word on where he might be signing once he's declared a free agent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea about the 16 year old, but would guess so, almost by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
