Can't we send down Allen Craig and Rusney Castillo to Greenville? They are so pathetic offensively (Greenville that is, for the most part).

"Prospects mentioned at length"...There's like 40 listed...Is that a joke? Actually, my first question would be, why? lol Just kidding. I'll try to find the draft part of the podcast. Thanks for listing the "show notes" and times. Sweet!

Seth Romero? I'll take David Peterson, Jake Burger, and Brent Rooker over him. Rooker is a really good hitter, but he is already 22 years old. Maybe we take him at 24 and he signs below slot, which frees up dollars to go after Blane knight in round two and baumann in round three. 1st round Looks pretty thin this year. Only about 20 really good guys at the top, I suspect all the guys we like will be off the board by 24. The high school kid from Louisiana, enlow looks to project as a starter. He should be available at 24. Or maybe other teams ahead of us may do the same thing and take some under slot guys. It happens every year. We may get a good player after all. I think that's the way the Dom does business.

I knew a kid growing up who's name was Brian Mata. Didn't look anything like him. Could play softball though. Long lost third-cousin on father's side maybe. Looking forward to following him since we've been robbed of Jay Groome thus far.

Yeah, you're looking at maybe a couple of trades. Nothing really shocking or disappointing. DD is not trading say Beeks, for a some slot money. Hopefully it's Henry Owens I know when I've "seen" enough. He could use a change of scenery. He's still here because just in case of multiple injuries to the starting staff.

I'm not sure how they could possibly afford both Diaz and Flores with the hard cap. Will be interesting to see how this works.I hate getting excited about 16 year olds, but wow, these kids look/sound amazing. Because Badler said this in the past: Given Boston’s expected international activity, the Red Sox will probably be trading up for more international bonus pool money once they’re allowed to make a trade beginning on July 2.

This is the kind of outing we all hoped to get from Henry Owens on a more consistent basis. To many baserunners, don't you think? I've always been a big hank supporter but that won't be enough. Still, a bit of an improvement. Too many base-runners, yes, but it's still a lot better than his usual stat-line. Anyone can attest to that. This is about as good as it gets other than an occasional 7ip, 3h, 2bb's 10k's on 110 pitches outing.

I was lucky enough to see Soundgarden AND Nine Inch Nails at xfinity center in 2014. What a great show by both bands. Best one I've seen. IMO Chris Cornell has best voice only after Freddy Mercury. Just so intense and pure balls to the wall. He loved showing off, as others mentioned, with his screams that truly reached your soul.

What type of player/prospect is usually traded for bonus pool money? Im curious what type of value is included in those deals These type of transactions are kind of new to all of us. We shall see is my guess.

3 of the top 20 is pretty damn good, considering our bonus pool $. This is the first I've heard about the Sox "will probably be trading up for more $$". That's great news as well, depending on what/how much they're giving up.
Edit: is it possible the Sox have already worked out some deal(s) for extra cash? They may need it to sign the prospects they are "expected" to sign come July.

For its what worth, Badler chatting now on baseballamerica. I sent a question regarding the Luis Flores to the Red Sox reports. Nothing answered yet. If anyone else wants to apply pressure, please do. Maybe you should've asked a question about "Daniel" Flores (or Antoni Flores). Is Luis Flores another prospect no one knows about?

So this is what Kimbrel looks like when he's hitting his spots and not walking people. It has been a pleasure thus far. I don't remember the last time we had a reliever this dominant. Not even Paps at his best was this good.

"He's already burning an option this year" How so? i.e. if he never would have been called up this year Not to be confused with MLB service time. If he wasn't put on the 40-man then he would have been the #1 pick in the rule 5 (though I thought he wasn't eligible). Probably had to do with the SP invite. He'll be called up prior to the 3 year window unless he suffers a MAJOR injury.

They'll trade him for a utility guy any time now.

FWIW, I confirmed the "Jay" thing with Greenville's media guy. Affirmatively wants to be called Jay now, which is why we made the change here at the site when the season started. Kind of reminds me of when we all used to talk about "Jon Papelbon" on here. That and proud mama called "noblepap". I don't blame her for leaving the site as Pap moved up to Boston. Can't believe it's been that long already.

Not to nitpick but we may as well start calling him "Jay". It's what others call him. I will have to get used to it as well. Kind of like Mitch Trubisky (for all you football fans) asking that people start calling him Mitchell. Also, I didn't see this posted in this thread. It's from the beginning of spring training: www.masslive.com/redsox/index.ssf/2017/03/jason_groome_boston_red_sox_to.html
