His fastball went significantly down from May 27th to July 18th and this ST it is still down from his May 27th outing? Or was his May 27th start and his July 18th start - both - there are stats showing he was ripped? I had earlier replied with the long post without checking at the numbers so I just deleted it and I'm retyping it now in a more condensed fashion. You brought up his complete game which I did not see so I can't comment really. Also brought up his last start which was average-ish with a lot of baserunners. I may have misplaced in my mind the early starts he had last year with the ones he had a couple years ago in regards to losing velocity. A guy with terrible numbers brought to below average with that complete game (which I give him credit for) combined with his low velocity I think is a bad combination for the Five Spot in our rotation. That was an extremely roundabout way through my three uninformed posts that Hector Velazquez better deserves that five Spot than Brian Johnson. And Elias may deserve a chance before BJ as well

My 5 breakouts are: 1. Joan Martinez 2.Cole Brannen 3.Bobby Dalbec 4.CJ Chatham 5.Antoni Flores.
I consider Chavis to have already broke out. I believe he will play his way to Boston during the season.
I think that Groome and Mata both take a step back this year.

I’m obviously in on Brannen, but I like the addition of Martinez, who has the stuff to take a big leap. I’m curious why the regression on Mata (I could kinda see it based on accelerated promotions, although I like the pitchabilty playing up as he moves forward), and especially Groome. Just intuition or what specifics have you concerned? Btw, welcome!

Groome has red flags that worry me. Between health, personal issues and the almost 7 ERA at Greenville. Thanks for the greeting. I've followed the site since Jon Lester was the top prospect. Huge fan. I've never commented because you guys know your stuff so well that it makes me feel like I've never watched a game in my life.

But I think you’re wrong when it comes to Groome. He was hurt for one year. Now if he falls apart again this year, then that would be cause for concern. But getting injured doesn’t mean much unless it becomes habitual. I believe the ERA in Greenville was directly related to the injuries and his lack of ability to get into the flow of everything. This season will tell a lot, but don’t give up on him yet. As for personal issues, I’m not sure what you’re talking about. The guys training with him have had nothing but the best to say about him. If you’re talking about the family issues, then he’s actually done much better in the situation than many would. His dad’s issues are his own. That being said, you shouldn’t not comment because you feel others know more than you. 100% of what I just said could he wrong. It’s mostly opinion. As long as you respect opinions and others respect yours, post away and have fun.

Well-put; I agree about Groome (he also had a pretty catastrophic life event with his dad being criminally charged, especially given his dad’s role in his development as a pitcher) insofar as I put very little stock in one year of an 18-y/o at low A ball. He’s a superb talent, so if the injuries were a one-off, I’m not concerned. Chavis would be my best recent counter-example. And i strongly agree about posting respectfully. I think the greatest joy I get from this site is having someone who challenges my opinion with data or ideas that I’m weak or fuzzy on, and it encourages me to do my own research and just learn.

Even if someone comes back at you with a fountain of data, you can always look up where they got it and learn what it means, how it’s derived or obtained...it’s a great exercise in rational thinking and respectful debate. My thoughts on Groome are above; re: Mata I can see that, particularly stuff-wise. In fairness, though, the Sox altered Bowden’s delivery to “save” his arm, and it really did a job on the quality of his stuff and how batters picked up his pitches. Whatever deception/movement his delivery had that made him such a good prospect was gone, and although I don’t recall it so much altering his velocity or repertoire, the results suffered. Kind of the opposite of Sale in college altering his delivery and finding the funk that made him great. I do think you’re right that this year in high-A and maybe AA will reveal if Mata’s relatively uninspiring velo/stuff is suspect and his success has been pitchability-driven.

Michael Bowden was 6'3" 215 when the Red Sox drafted him him, and he pitched six innings at rookie ball at age 18. Mata is about 50 pounds less and pitched 77 innings at Greenville at age 18. Both had sub-optimal velocity, but Mata has room to grow.

I wouldn't say this is necessarily "break out" but perhaps "break thru".
This might sound crazy but if the Sox make the playoffs and say everybody's reasonably healthy, it wouldn't shock me if Jeremy Barfield is the backup outfielder. On a playoff roster you normally carry 11 pitchers, not 12, so there's room for an extra player.
I'm going to guess that Barfield has a 2017 Brentz' like season but with solid defense, and I think at some point he'll be on the 40 man roster, will get a call-up to the majors when an injury inevitable happens and play reasonably well enough in a short sample size to become a RH power bat on the bench capable of playing solid defense.
I might be drinking the Kool-Aid given his age - I mean 28 year olds should be beating up AA pitching, right? But I think he has some of his dad's skills, and his dad Jesse was a really good player. I believe Barfield's power is legit, and unlike Brentz, he is a good defensive option in the outfield.

He had his breakout season at age 30, though he was playing in the majors for years before that and always had the pedigree of being a high first round draft pick. It is kind of bizarre that he played for 4 teams in 2004, including Bal, TB, KC and Pit.

It is kind of bizarre that he played for 4 teams in 2004, including Bal, TB, KC and Pit. Sure, Bautista is certainly the exception and not the rule, but yeah, I remember him when he was with Pittsburgh, nothing too impressive, and then he totally blossomed. You mentioned the teams he played with, but how about the one he could have played with? I'm not remembering the story too well, but I think there was a time - was in late 2009 or some point in 2010 when the Red Sox could have had him for practically nothing. I think he was on waivers or something and Theo wanted him and was told they didn't need him - and it was around the time Drew started to decline - but anyways, it wouldn't have hurt Drew to have a backup and a platoon-mate, but it didn't happen, and then shortly thereafter Bautista blossomed. It's true that you never do quite know. It's not like I got excited when the Red Sox signed near 30 year old (or even older?) Jamie Moyer in 1996 and when he was having his usual lackluster numbers I had no idea when they traded him for Darren Bragg, that he would turn into a consistent solid pitcher for another decade. And of course none of us expected David Ortiz to turn into DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ! DAVID ORTIZ! He was stuck behind Jeremy Giambi for the DH spot and any SABR type guy would gush about Giambi's solid slugging average and sky high OBP with all those walks he took.

Jose was a 20th round pick. His wild '04 season transaction history was due to being a rule 5 pick, leaving him bouncing from team to team. He was actually on a 5th team momentarily around the trade deadline, after a month on the Royals (3rd team of the season), he was traded to the Mets who turned around and traded him BACK TO THE PIRATES, the team that he belonged to until the O's took him in the rule 5.

So I thought about this the other day and it kind of pertains to this thread but on a different angle. Not necessarily who I think will break out but players breaking out that could bode very well for the organization going forward.
Cole Brennan, C.J. Chatham, Jay Groome, and Tanner Houck.
If those guys turned into "guys" then they'd be able to fill in some tough holes to fill going forward.
If I had to throw some post prospect guys on a list I could go with Blake Swihart, Brandon Workman, and David Price. Of course, if Price has a break out season he very well may opt out.

I’m going to throw a couple more names out based on ST and what I’ve read recently: Swihart and Bogey. I think there’s little chance Swihart isn’t in MLB this year and I really hope the Sox don’t trade him. I think his hitting style would really benefit from some Hyers tweaks, and he’s really been a solid hitter throughout his career (injuries and early promotion aside) given his age/level and learning catching (which he started as a HS Sr, if I recall correctly). I think there’s significant untapped potential there. Bogey...like Chris said elsewhere, I think he’s going to blossom under a new coaching staff, and with health and experience. He’s done basically everything with the bat (high average, significant power, OB, spraying the ball around), just at different points in his career, never all at once. I think it all comes together this year.
Tanner Houck. We’ve talked about him a lot in his thread, and it still amazes me that a first-round pick, who was very consistently successful at a major college program, would be so open to a near-complete overhaul. I love his curiosity and desire. It doesn’t hurt that he hits 97-98 and apparently, his 4-seam spin rate is very high...it sounds like his sinker actually spun *too much* especially when he threw it hard, so he had tons of success throwing a pitch his natural ability actually hindered. The 4-seam is a better match with the CH, and his slider is good, if inconsistent. His control is very good, and if his 4-seam spin and movement are as reported, he’s going to get bunches of whiffs with that repertoire. I think he’s a good bet for AA by year’s end.
I’ve mentioned Jake Thompson elsewhere, but I’ll just mention here that he seems like another saavy choice like Houck. While Houck was seen as a future reliever/two-pitch guy, Thompson was too. Had injuries, fell a bit. But apparently he has a much-better-than-anticipated CH, which they basically wouldn’t let him throw at Oregon State. For a pitcher who sits 93-95, t97 and has an inconsistent but plus-to-better flashing slider, I’m intrigued. If his change is a legit big league pitch, suddenly he’s got real starter potential. Like, #3 or outside 2 if his command improves and the slider becomes the consistent out pitch some think it has the potential to be. I think he’s the kind of pitcher who really surprises: relatively raw college guy who slipped because of prior injury, but benefits most from high-level coaching.
I also have high hopes for Ty Buttrey. I think he’s a bullpen breakout dark horse. Huge FB and a nasty change. Maybe unfair, but I get a Nuke Laloosh vibe. I think a whiff of the show focuses him.
Joan Martinez. Idk, when I think of him I think of Frank Montas. Montas has had injury issues, but man, what stuff. I can see Martinez taking a leap. Obviously he’s a reliever in their eyes, and he’s a two-pitch pitcher, but he was on the young side in Greenville. He misses bats and has reasonable control. Tighten up the slider and I think he moves.

Man, a few people have mentioned Chatham and while I actually liked him as a pick, he’s been so underwhelming/injured that I’d kind of moved on. I think you’re right though, and I definitely think I gave up too quickly. If he does put it together he could Chavis up the rankings. I still believe in his bat, and from the bits I’ve read he’s better at SS than his build might suggest. An average defensive SS who provides solid offense (.270/.330/.420 or so) is a quality asset. I also think his bat has some real upside beyond that. I think if those four develop as hoped this year, the farm system looks a LOT better come fall, as you say. And as a huge Brannen booster, I’ll admit that if I’m being objective, Chatham is probably a better candidate to make good on his promise in the immediate term.

I wanted to piggy back on my brief comments in the Scherff thread.
I'll take a little bit of a different approach and say the breakout candidate(s) are the Red Sox pitching prospects as a group. Maybe all of them aren't real breakouts, but everyone seems to have a different take on this term. But if things break right for the team this year (no injuries or suspensions), I could see a big step forward if most these pitching prospects step forward.
So, from the top down -
Looks like the Pawtucket pen will include, at least to start, Buttrey, Maddox, Jerez, Poyner, and Elias. Buttrey's stuff is electric and if he can gain some consistency with his control and keep his head on straight, he has closer potential and certainly should be a setup/8th inning type. Maddox again need some consistency with his control, but here's another guy that could emerge as a reliable 7th/8th inning guy. The trio of lefties have all flashed something and if 1-2 of them can prove they belong, the Pawtucket pen can be a source of low cost pen help for the So late in the year and over the next several years.
In Portland, if My Shawaryn can build upon last seasons success he could establish himself as a potential mid rotation starter or reliable reliever that would be especially tough on righties. Hopefully Lakins can come back healthy show some success in AA. Either Cosart and Ball in the pen could also take a step forward. Everyone's down on Ball, but he's still young and athletic. Perhaps a move to the pen will help with his consistency and he could emerge as a viable bullpen candidate.
Then there's Mata & Darwinzon likely starting in Salem. There's some buzz (and reports) around the way Darwinzon ended up in 2017. With his reported velo jump and maybe dominany slider, with some work on the change and improvement in control, he could push himself up into top 100 consideration. Mata is another guy that's obviously highly rated in our system. Both these guys are young for A+ and if they can be consistent all year, that would really help the system. Raudes is another guy in Salem that's been forgotten about. Not sure the upside is there, but he's another guy that can provide system depth with a good year.
Likely starting off (anyway) in Greenville will be Groome, Houck, and Thompson - and maybe Scherff. There's 4 guys right there that could push there way into top 100 consideration (or up in the rankings in the case of Groome). There's some great info out there o all these guys and at least some reason to be optimistic on each one. In the Drive pen Martinez, Florentino and Schellenger are all candidates to shine. Schellenger seems to be overlooked but the year before his draft year he really excelled at Seton Hall. Health seems to be his biggest issue. Nick Duron is another starter in Greenville that could take a big step forward. Highly unlikely he could rise as much as the others, but he has limited pitching experience and is still growing.
Aaron Perry looks to debut in Lowell. Highly rated out of school Sox got him cheaper due to an injury. Lots of potential for this guy likely starting in Lowell.
Finally, looks like Chris Acosta might be getting another chance. Not sure he'll make it stateside this year, but if he does, there's big potential in this kid that got a $1.5 mill bonus.
Anyway that's the glass half full view (and that was intentional). But as a whole, I like the sox prospects pitchers to be the breakout of 2018. Lots of potential here. And if much off this comes close to fruition, it will really help the Sox overall farm system rankings. There's unlikely to be any significant graduations (other than maybe some bullpen arms - and maybe Chavis). Another good draft will obviously help, too.
There are position players that will break out some as well, but I think there much more opportunity for the system's pitching prospects.

If Scherff starts the year in Greenville, Groome becomes the soft-tosser of the group, sitting 91-93. The rest of those guys are all comfortably mid-90s (I suppose Duron might be 92-94; Houck I’m hoping stops slowing down his FB for movement since he’ll be switching to a 4-seam). That’s a pretty outstanding collection of arms.

I commented on him after the draft, and I stillI think he’s a fun guy worth watching (out of DIII) who has good bat-to-ball skills and might surprise with some high-level coaching. He’s obviously not a Billy Wagner/Ferrum College story, but I think there’s a small yet real chance he becomes more than just an organizational guy.
