Maxxxxxxx effort delivery. Huge reliever risk for me. I have no idea how he is going to be able to throw 100 pitches over 6-7 innings every 5 days for 30+ starts a year. We'll see how he looks as the season progresses. Maybe he's a freak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I like that dude. He does a lot of good things on the baseball field and as they say, that's how they look. Power, speed, defense, arm. He can affect the game in different ways which is what you want from a top pick. He has swing and miss but hopefully an approach adjustment can help that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That bodes well. The narrative about him striking out a lot is overblown. Edited February 21 by Boopa1219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Honeycutt coming on would be huge for this draft whether the Sox draft him or not. So few guys profile as up the middle plus athletes that he could zoom to 1-1. I am still wary of his hit tool, but it is nice to see him off to a good start.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I have no idea how he hit this pitch for a HR. He cleared his front and backside. I'm very intrigued by the idea that Cags might be able to play RF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 This sounds crazy. But then I realized I have no context for what types of numbers highly regarded prep players put up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I will say that overslotting in this year’s draft, picking at 5, seems like a huge mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Someone’s pre draft model had the Sox taking Hagen Smith at 1-5. I can see why they would think so. There’s some Crochet vibe to him. Of course, if he keeps striking everyone out, maybe he won’t be there. As I have said, I would not pop pitching that early, but I think Getz may disagree.

Harold's Leg Lift Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Bonemer is a really strong kid w/a quiet simple swing and big time power potential. He gives me some Brady House vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
