The current "value" in the farm system is significantly dependent on Groome becoming a top end prospect. The system is certainly on the upswing, but they're missing a high end guy, and Groome certainly has the talent. Huge next 18-24 months for him to get back to that type of status.
Hernandez is probably a back end of the rotation guy or a reliever, Houck has been inconsistent, while Mata is a true wild card.

What would be a time table for Groome to come back and pitch? A late season cameo with 2020 in mind?

What would be a time table for Groome to come back and pitch? A late season cameo with 2020 in mind? I was thinking about that the other day. I follow his IG now and he seems to be getting some workouts in. He had the surgery mid-May of ‘18 (the 18th or 19th I think?) so figure about 14 months, at least if my recollection serves me right. I think a few guys have come back to pitch in as few as 12, but I’d think 14 would be not unreasonably optimistic. So maybe Lowell or the GCL and possibly a bit of Greenville in Sept if it works out, then instructs? I really, *really* hope he can bounce back and that the time off/PT gets him in good general condition. I really hoped he’d have more velo in the pros, but at least his CB was terrific. He was relatively young as a draftee, so it’s still reasonable, I think, to hope on him getting to MLB at age 24. If he comes back from TJ the way a lot of guys do, I think it’s fair to hope on him as a 2/3 and maybe dream on a 1a. Be real good to see him at least get a handful of competitive innings late next summer.

Alex Spier reported that Groome started throwing off the mound in late June. Does that say anything about a potential return this season?

I can't wait to hear the stories about how he's sitting 98 because of how hard he's worked on his shoulder strength.

Ian reported from Lowell last year that he was in tremendous shape. Glad to see he still is. He has to have lost like 20 pounds from pre-TJS.

That’s a frame that can give you 200 innings, let’s just get the arm to that point!

A few years ago I was to do a mini triathalon but couldn't sleep the night before being too concerned that I needed to be well rested. I took a prescribed Ambien and my wife literally had to drag me to bed. The race started next day at 6 a.m. with a 400 meter swim ...gurgle, gurgle, glub, glub.

I think he's a Nick Hagadone clone with more upside.

If the Red Sox protect Groome from the Rule 5 draft, can Groome still pitch in A ball or Double A?

Trevor Powers @tpowerprospects Jason Groome looks healthy and ready to go after TJ. Many thought he was the best talent in the 2016 draft class. If he is healthy, with his stuff, there is no reason he shouldn’t be the best pitcher in a system desperately needing it http://instagram.com/p/CBmLB9yAjbp

Love the second hitter saying "holy sh--" after the third pitch, and that fourth pitch has some HOP.

Didn't want to hijack the Yorke thread any further but I remembered more on the "off field" issues with Groome so I thought it better to post it hear..
If memory serves, Keith Law was pretty angry at the rumors that Groome had attitude issues that would drop him. That being said, he knew what was concerning teams but refused to say what it was.
Then, Groome's Dad gets busted selling drugs and, again IIRC, Law came out and either infers or says directly that THIS was the concern that teams had.
Not sure if that is exactly what went down but it's how I remember it. The point being, I don't believe there were concerns about his attitude.

I've heard nothing but good things about Groome. He moved to Florida with his girlfriend right away after being drafted. Constant workout partner with Sale. Team was really impressed with how he transformed his body during his TJ rehab. Pretty sure his little brothers live with him.
