This is our final poll for the 2020 SP Pre-Season All-Star Team and we conclude with relief pitchers. Please remember to cast your vote for the three relief pitchers in the Red Sox minor league system that you believe will have the best 2020 seasons. The idea is to vote for the players you predict will perform the best on the field, not who you consider to be the best prospects. Each player is only eligible at either SP or RP and thus will not appear on multiple polls.
This poll will close on Thursday May 14th @ noon ET.

Folks are confident in Feltman's ability to rebound and Aybar's odds of improving control/command?

Folks are confident in Feltman's ability to rebound and Aybar's odds of improving control/command? I can't say that I'm a believer in Feltman or Aybar's control. I did a boring vote. I voted for Bazardo, Browning, and Hall to have the best seasons if they have seasons. I think Bazardo will progress towards being a low leverage reliever. I like Browning and think he can pitch. Low ceiling. Good bloodlines. He could surprise. I like Hall in a sneaky way but his control is questionable too. I just think he'll pitch well enough to get call-ups. Perhaps at some point he'll even stick. |

Again, pretty impressive that only two pitchers are without a vote, and one of those two had a 0.67 WHIP with a 28K-1BB ratio last year.

Proud to be the lone vote for Rio Gomez.

Yoelvis Guedez is the type of good control and pitchability guy who often has success in the lower minors.
I'm actually moderately bullish on a Feltman rebound in a better situation. He has the best stuff of anyone on this list and the expectations for him early on were over his head.

I think Aybar and Feltman have by far the highest upside, and when it comes to relievers, that's going to catch the eye.
Surprised by the lack of love for Cellucci. He hit 100 in bullpens last year. Sleeper for me.

Ha, two of my picks were Cellucci and Guedez (along with Bazardo). I hadn't realized that Cellucci hit 100 though...wow...from the left side thats really impressive.

If there was a write in spot I would have voted for Hunter Haworth

Small samples but every time I saw Logan Browning, he was impressive.

If there was a write in spot I would have voted for Hunter Haworth He was actually on a draft for this list, but I noted that he was probably more of a starter/piggyback guy than a reliever. Of his 31 games last year, just 9 were fewer than 3 innings (and in 2 or 3 of those he got hit hard, making it unclear what the original plan was), so even though he only made 10 starts, I'd call another 12 of his 21 relief appearances piggyback starts rather than true relief outings. But the point is well taken. He's kind of an underappreciated sleeper as well. |
