Selling low on Beckham? Do you still think this is just a four season-long slump? The improvement was 103 games of 88 wRC+.

 

Also, if he was recently showed improvement, wouldn't it be selling high?

Who are we talking about here...Murphy? I guess that would be okay. I wouldn't do it, but I can see it.

You guys severely underrate Murphy.

 

 

Yes to this. Many people are underrating Murphy. He's 22 and much better than anything in the Sox system currently. I am not really sure why people keep comparing him to Phegley. Kind of different players.

They aren't. Minor league profiles are similar, both are offense first catchers, JR Murphy is Josh Phegley without missing time for injuy/illness.

 

Too many people get caught up in the Yankee prospect hype machine. I would take him for Keppinger, other than that, pass.

There is a Yankee prospect hype machine? Isn't their entire problem now that their minor league system has produced nothing?

It has produced nothing, but that hasnt stopped them from trading overhyped prospects like Montero. That one didnt work out for them because Michael Pineda's arm fell off, but it still happens for the Yankees

There was a time when folks were drooling all over themselves for Jesus Montero, a Yankee catching prospect. Now they mention some minor league guy and want to dump Gordon Beckham for an unproven prospect. Amazing

 

Can you imagine if we had dumped Chris Sale for a major league veteran just because Chris was "an unproven prospect"?

Yes, because Jesus Montero is worse than Gordon Beckham, all minor league prospects will be worse than Gordon Beckham.
