Eloy has been on fire since the trade... BS is likely correct, might be the best player we got back in the teardown.

Kopech also had a great game this weekend 10Ks, 3 hits and 2 walks.

I'm in agreement with others that Eloy may very well be the best of the bunch so far. Still can't believe we got this guy.

Both Eloy and Zack have hit homers in their AA debut game. Giolito and Hansen pitched great again as well.

You need to discuss this with Aaron Rowand, who announced during tonight's game the same thing.

Sox have a 17 year old catcher in the Dominican league whose numbers are really impressive - Klyder Sanchez.

Sox have a lefty reliever at AA named Kyle Kubat who interests me. Undrafted out of college, signed by KC, plays 2 years for KC, gets traded to Sox this spring & is promoted twice. Career minor league stats good.

22 yr old Luis Martinez finally seems to be having a good year - it's only at Kannap, but it may be a sign that his former elevated prospect rating weren't so crazy after all.

Love, Delmonico was drafted by Baltimore. He was traded to Milwaukee. He was cut by Milwaukee. He only has a career minor league average of .257.

Last year I noted that he appeared to have finally learned how to hit. This year, noting a fairly good start, I admitted that I really was perplexed on how to judge his prospect status. I wish he were a better fielding 3rd baseman - it would make him so much more valuable.

my sister-in-law also thinks he's hot.

Bummer about Tatis but can't be perfect. Willing to bet that Adolfo ends up better than 1/2 those guys

From a fantasy perspective, but something to read.

Grant Massey pitched again and won, wonder if he's being moved to the mound.

I suspect Jimmy Lambert has something wrong with his arm.
