Do we really not have a Bleis thread yet? Needed somewhere to put this heartwarming tweet from Ian:

Great to hit on another international star. I love when we dish out big bonuses to young elite potential. Sometimes it doesn’t work out (diaz, flores, Castillo ) but when it does work out we smash (Devers, Bogaerts)

I suppose it is true that it didn't work out, but I'm not sure that's the language I'd use.

Heading to the game on Tuesday at Ed Smith in Sarasota. Sort of expect Bleis NOT to be there. Seen him 3 times and every time you walk away seeing how "smooth" he is. His athleticism definitely jumps out! It is so fun to see him kick it into an extra gear on the bases. Easy to see why he has so many doubles and triples.

Even if Bleis doesn't play (edit: promotion or whatever reason) you'll likely to see our top draft picks play. So no lose situation.

I really like the high school selections they made!

The Bleis segment on the last podcast is NSFW Been completely out of the loop on prospects and podcasts due to life getting in the way. Are we putting Betts level hype yet or is it too early?

I don't really know enough to comment, but I think the fact that they have his range of possible outcomes as a 2-8 on a 1-8 scale is telling. The potential is sky high, but it's so early that there's a huge range of likely outcomes.

I won’t give it all away because you should listen but a couple comments that stood out to me were that he has the the same starter toolkit that guys like Acuña and Julio Rodriguez have and some people think he should be higher in the system. as an aside, do we know why Ian doesn’t post on the boards?

Too early. If he follows a projected path you could dream on with a prospect like him…you’re about one year out of him being hyped like that. I want to see him dominating A ball and forcing mid season promotions crushing High A next year. If that happens one has to imagine he could be the #1 prospect in the system. You might say that I’m a dreamer.

You might say that I’m a dreamer. He could absolutely rocket through the system, like Betts and Devers. He'll spend two more full seasons in the minors but after that it's his performance at the higher levels that will get him promoted to the bigs....or not. From every thing I've seen/read that seems like a VERY possible scenario. Bleis mid-2025, at a ripe age of 21! Bleis you child.

For the love of God can the sox please sign one of their homegrown prospects to something like the braves have done with their guys? I volunteer Bleis and Mayer to be the first!

Wait, this guy hasn't seen advanced pitching yet and he's already in the same sentence as Mookie and Devers? I love me some prospects, but I think we have to tone the hype down just a bit til he starts seeing legit advanced pitches and advanced pitch mixes on the regular.
That said, he has a lot of tools and seems to be leveraging them well for his level.
