RE: Rookie of the year. The odds on who will win the award were released at DraftKings Sportsbook, and the pair were among the top six.
Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson is the favorite at +350, and Twins shortstop Royce Lewis was behind him at +600 odds, though he might move to the outfield after Minnesota’s reported deal with Carlos Correa on Tuesday.
Casas comes in with the fourth-shortest odds to win MLB Rookie of the Year at +900. This is tied with New York Yankees prospect Anthony Volpe. Yoshida follows after with +1000 odds, which are tied with Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O’Hoppe and Orioles pitching prospect Grayson Rodriguez.
A $100 bet at these odds on Casas and Yoshida would pay out $1,000 and $1,100, respectively.nesn.com/bets/2023/01/could-triston-casas-red-sox-newcomer-win-mlb-rookie-of-the-year/Doing both of these bets! 😂

Yeah Volpe probably has a better chance to get ROY over Royce Lewis.
Gunner Henderson seems like he's going to run away with it. Hopefully Casas has a monster year, would hate to see Baltimore get even stronger. Would really kill me if the Volpe gets second place and the Yankees also get a pick.
Bello would have the best odds on the Sox, but the Sox exceeded his rookie status last year using him.

Henderson had a babip of .333 and OPS+ 123, with an isolated power of .181, while Casas' numbers were .208, 113 and .211 with more HRs in fewer PAs. Given the minuscule sample sizes it's dedicated navel gazing to project anything meaningful about the offensive ranking for these players. For me, the biggest difference is the positions they play and how that informs their value. So Henderson brings that to the table but the bats? Very little to pick between them.

Some thing with Yoshida too. He could very well be the best hitter of the bunch but may not be the most "valuable" due to defense.

Casas is already my favorite Red Sox player this decade.

He’s open to an extension, would love to see us start to operate like Atlanta has. Go lock up Casas and Bello to team-friendly deals.

Let's let Casas play a year and demonstrate success at the MLB level before throwing a long-term deal his way.

Looking forward to antics!! I love loose and goofy. The thing is, on the well-known Verdugo / J.D. Drew Scale for on-field behavior, he's very much closer to the latter. Ditto for the interview that so knocked me out -- all business, and preternaturally level-headed and self-aware.
This other side of him just impresses me further. I wouldn't call it "goofy" so much ... he seems to have a Bill Murray sort of sense of humor. Offbeat for sure.
I don't think it's possible to overestimate the importance of intelligence in hitting. Papi was Papi in large part because he was better than almost anyone else at figuring out what pitch was likely in key situations. If Jim Rice could have done that to any extent, he would have been Miguel Cabrera.
I may have been seriously following Red Sox prospects longer than anyone else on the board. I first became smitten with the topic by reading the prospect pages in the Red Sox Yearbook starting in 1962, and they of course always plugged every kid as a potential star (who else remembers Gage Naudain?). And after a couple of years, a lot of those predictions turned out to be correct! ("He may be the Red Sox next 20-game winner" -- Jim Lonborg hype). I started doing sabermetrics in 1972 and subscribed first to The Sporting News and then BA almost from the beginning.
It's a tough call given Raffy Dever's surreal bat-to-ball skill, but I think Casas is the best Red Sox hitting prospect in my memory. A big part of that is his 80 brain tool.

I agree with Eric I don't have the experience and history of insight that he has, but I'm convinced this kid is going to be a star. He just seems to have that combination of talent, skills and headspace that is so rare. It's the kind of make up that allows a player to thrive in the pressure cooker of Boston and make adjustments as the league adjusts to him.

According to Jen McCaffrey in her latest story, Casas has dropped 15-20 pounds of weight this off-season.

Eric, you are a little behind me on following Red Sox prospects, but immeasurably ahead of me in your statistical sophistication. I started reading the minor league averages (top 10 in hitting and pitching with a short list of about 5 leaders in major categories, as I recall) in The Sporting News in the early 1950's. I was very frustrated by the lack of information. I had to be satisfied with the annual publications of major league and minor league statitstics (I do not remember when I began buying those Almanacs). I have every printed issue of Baseball America (except 2 in 1989 that were lost). I began watching Red Sox teams in the Carolina League when Carl Yastrzemski played in Raleigh (Class B) in 1959.

According to Jen McCaffrey in her latest story, Casas has dropped 15-20 pounds of weight this off-season. Gave it all to Bello Ha that was my original thought/joke in my head when I read that post as well. I am probably happier to hear that Casas dropped 15-20 LBs than Bello gained 15 or so LBs. My line of thinking is that Casas is a big boy and perhaps dropping some weight will help him stay healthier which is really my main concern with Casas. Bello on the other hand who knows, it's not always a good thing for pitchers to bulk up as it can mess with their mechanics and bigger muscles don't always mean better results and could increase the injury risk. Until proven otherwise I will just assume that Casas and Bello weight loss/gain was both part of their offseason plan and that the trainers and strength and development program know what they're doing a heck of a lot more than I do so I am excited to see both these young guys start their first full season in the majors.
