Somebody has too high of an upside. Ceddanne Rafaela 4.5 4-67
67 is a type obviously.

Who is the next top 40 prospect to be DFD? I feel like this should become a thread. I did like the return on Barnes, but then yesterday they DFA German? I guess MLB depth is not as important as I thought.

Daniel Flores is a sad story I was doing cartwheels when Red Sox signed him. I knew how my dad felt when Len Bias died even though Len did it to himself. Did you record these cartwheels? Being a Boston fan is tough at times. I'm rarely excited when we draft or sign a catcher. It's the hardest position to evaluate and project. The excitement when the Celtics got such a high lottery pick was exciting. Then they got a generational player who passes away really hit me hard. I never touched a drug.

Not spending all the teams International money the first week is not stupid.

With the known signings of Cespedes ($1,400,000), Arias ($525,000), Y. Ruiz ($500,000), and Sanchez ($150,000), the Red Sox have $2,069,000 left in their bonus pool. They are allowed to trade for more $$$. And maybe open up a 40 roster spot my doing this. It sure beats who we've had to DFS or not protect.

Who is the next DFA? We couldn't trade Downs? Strange moves keep happening.

Noon: Heyman says there are "heavy discussions" 1pm: Morosi says he believes the Red Sox are going to find a deal to keep Bogaerts 2pm: Abraham says there is momentum 2pm: Sean McAdam: One Red Sox person, asked by someone today whether the Sox would re-sign Bogaerts, answered without hesitation: “Yes.” 3pm: Hector Gomez says talks have intensified, looks like they could come to an agreement. Boras probably leaked some of this. It also makes sense for him to tell the Sox you are getting closer. A great agent like Boras plays teams and the media. The Padre's over paid by 2 or 3 years.

Not protecting a cost effective relief pitcher named Ward is stupid. And if he can start? Not protecting Ward over Abreu made no sense. Plus the Sox were at 38 after not protecting Ward. So, they had the room.

Why is Valdez ranked so high? Is his scouting report wrong that we have? If it is accurate I'd like him moved adjusted down a few spots. Personally I look at it as one for one trades. Would you trade Emmanuel Valdez for the following prospects? Valdez for any of the following? Perales, Blaze Jordan, Lugo, Ward, Bonaci, Hickey, Coffey, or Kavadas?

Besides the very talented team in Greenville another thing stood out to me.
Our AA roster and speed. Look at it. 1B Niko Kavadas 2B Nick Yorke 3B Matthew Lugo SS Tyler McDonough LF Corey Rosier CF Ceddanne Rafaela RF Gilberto Jimenez DH Alex Binelas
Look at that outfield!

I saw MLB only has 3 of our prospects in the top 100. Seems like me that Callis and others on MLB, wait too long to move a prospect up who isn't a 1st round pick.
Is it an evaluation issue, and or marketing Day1 picks issue?

Any sense for where Taylor Broadway might fall in the rankings? Or is he just not top 60? I'd have him outside our top 60. A nice throw in though.

First off, you guys did another great job with the rankings! The first minor adjustment I see is with Hickey and Kavadas. I agree with the rankings. Their ETA's should be the same.

I keep in my mind that we could get Vazquez back next year. If we do I love this trade. Otherwise we are dumping salary for 2 "lottery picks".

If Pham has a hot rest of the year the option is possible. Pham sure has fallen off a cliff this year.

Projected not to sign 13. Gavin Kilen 14. Travis Sanders No chance either of these two takes the 96K or is there a shot one does? I assume the JC player signs at some point. The only way they were signing Kilen is if something went sideways with Roman Anthony or Brooke Brannen and they had a ton of leftover money to throw at him. If he ever was going to sign. He wasn't going to without 1st rd money. He had such a great hit tool. It was a solid draft.

Catchers seem to get overpaid. I really hope we sign Marques Johnson. One last nugget. Killen I've met several times over the years. I reached out to find out any intel. I did not find out much. Only that he has been interested in going Louisville for over two years and has been excited to go there. He is a nice, smart, considerate kid who LOVES baseball. He also has an adviser in case a MLB team gives him an offer. He also was in Louisville the day we drafted him. (WISN News) briefly mentioned him last night.
