Has Chavis even been promoted? I've found one tweet that says looks like he's been promoted.

I'm sorry if I came across that way. It's all good but it did come across that way. And I only took it that way because the news wasn't even readily available.

Devers is a super stud. No offense to Lin, but Devers ceiling is simply on a different level. I would argue right now Devers is already a much better hitter than any 3b on the Red Sox or Pawtucket. My projection for Devers in the majors at his peak is a 30-40 HR 100-120 RBI, .280-.300 average, OPS + 140-180. He will walk a lot too. Hopefully Devers only has to stay in Pawtucket for a few months, because I would love for him to be one of our September call ups...he could be a key weapon down the stretch. His swing is so natural, his plus plus power is needed for sure.
Lin is nice for a temporary fix, but he is by no means a long term replacement in my opinion.

I am pretty sure nobody here believes Lin is the long term answer at 3rd. However, he may turn out to be the long term answer as versatile utility man, a la Brock Holt. And that is extremely valuable. And yeah, Devers is a stud.

Maybe they'll promote him on July 10th. He needs to go up. The sooner the better if he's going to contribute to the big club in September. I fear that DD will trade for a temporary 3b before the deadline and give up someone like Chavez. That would keep Devers in AAA for the rest of the season. If he's their guy next year, let him spend a month in AAA and see how he handles it. Just letting him sit in AA does no one any good.

and give up someone like Chavez. ? Do you mean Chavis and autocorrect got you? Also, it's pretty clear he's not staying in AA all year if that's what you're afraid of. They've even said he's "close" to a promotion to AAA, which I interpret as "as soon as we're done getting a look at Peralta and Sandoval in Pawtucket."

Yeah Chavis. What I'm afraid of is DD panicking. Trading some very good minor leaguers for some stop gap 3rd baseman. I know Pablo has a huge contract. Whose fault is that? Instead of admitting their mistake, they keep him around and hope he gets better. That's not happening. If he's untradeable, just dump him for the sake of the team. Say you're sorry. It just didn't work out and move on. What would Belichick do?
By the way, Devers now has an OPS of .947. He needs more seasoning. Yeah, right.

A prospect is fun to watch, but trading him for a sure thing in the Majors is never a losing deal.

I understand this is a prospect forum but a lot of posters here need glasses. They can't see how great DD has been for us and simply blame him for everything. The Sale and Drew trade alone made us contenders. Price was the only player he miss judged but the guy had major success in the AL East and got better every year. Signing player like him started the upward trend. Our staff is so good and it's all thanks to DD. Pablo has to go at this point. Im happier with Marrero at 3rd. He's been pretty clutch for a .200 hitter but also plays elite Defense. I say wait until after the futures game and call Devers up to AAA. Let him finish the season there and call him up for post-season if he's hot. Then it's Devers spot to lose next season.

I think the payment for bullpen help at the deadline is out of control. I hope the drafting last year and this year has addressed this.
It must be tough decision for the F?O? To try to stretch out these kids to developers them as staters when they can move faster as a reliever. I.E. Papelbon and Bard. I guess we will see what happens.

Papelbon was developed as a starter even making it to the Majors as starter before moving to the bullpen. His rise through the system wasn't because of a move to the bullpen. Bard stalled as a starter before being moved to the bullpen where he excelled for a few years before completely losing it. I think the bullpen is just fine. The lineup is starting to come around. This team is playing pretty well right now. Let Devers move on to AAA. No reason to rush him up. Let's see what he can do against some MLB level pitchers.

I remember in 2013, some saying that we should trade Mookie for Cliff Lee, because Mookie was just a prospect. Holding onto the right prospects is also a skill that takes years to figure out whether it was the right move.

I might be mixing things up, but I'm pretty sure that was later on. There were definitely Cliff Lee rumors for a few years, but Amaro kept holding out for insane returns that never came.
