That industry is jam packed with bullshit artists

They would say a system with 15 future average mlb players is better than one with five future stars because of "depth".

In the Sox case, the waves have almost all washed ashore and there will be a high tide for about 8 years. I know people rag on Collins right now but its pretty telling that a first round pick who hits with LH power all the way to AAA can't even crack the MLB roster at this point and the Sox declined to keep a gold glove winning second baseman under team control.

I am honestly so pumped for this team for next year. This year will be the proofing through fire.

The only real minor league things to watch this year are the RF and the tommy john returnees.

Me too, I think we can compete with Cleveland and Minnesota for 1st in the division.

I just read a article about Robert and they listed him as a "chiseled" 6'3" and 185#. That is about as ridiculous an assessment of this guy as it gets. He has got to weigh about 215# at least.

Collins is a bum and that’s why he can’t crack the MLB roster. He can’t hit major league pitching. He’s worthless as a prospect.

We don't fully know that. They botched his entire MLB career. Brought him up to "watch" and not play, sent back down, brought back up to play like once a week. I don't even think he got a look at 1B.

Collins will start the season in the minors and be the first player called up for injuries.

Giving that bum Castillo starts after the trade deadline should have been a fireable offense for Raw Deal Ricky. The front office should have stepped in.

Agreed. You have 1B/DH/C open. Jose could of DHed. If you don't think he is a C, that is fine. Should of tried ABs at a different position. Try him at 1B or an OF position.

Schwarber was never going to be a catcher. Collins can be a catcher but a below average one. I think the Sox fear giving him a big role at C because of all the young pitchers.

The Sox have been pretty good at cobbling together decent catchers over the last few years with spare parts.

Yeah. That's more like it. He is a big man.

I'm fine with assigning Sox their fair share of blame but he's done as a prospect. Anything he gives us should be considered a bonus with the realistic expectation being that he never contributes at the ML level.

No, Schwarber is a million times more talented. He's what Sox fans think Schwarber is.

You're being far too generous. He wouldn't be a below average catcher, he would be the worst catcher in MLB if he actually made a ML roster somehow.

I think you are incorrect but we will get to see as there are reports the Sox are in discussions to trade Mc Cann.
