Hey guys, what’s up

Revisiting the Boston Draft and assigning draft grades based on when the pick was taken, success, and future outlook of the player.

1. New Jersey: .329.... SS Alberto Ramirez- ML----D-/he traded him to Cookeville for a bunch of pretty mediocre players for a caliber of a Cactus and the #1 pick...not played very well
2. San Antonio: .353... SP Jesus Castillo- AAA----A-/Castillo is quietly one of the best up and coming arms in the league
3. Dillonvale: .378... SS Natsume Mochizuke- A/Well done by Niddler to take a small name and wasn't expected in this slot that looks to be one of the best young,emerging SS in the game...in Boston
4. Charlotte: .382... C Stu Kirk- ML---A+/Probably the smartest thing Kdog has ever done in this league let alone resigning him to that steal of a deal-best C in the league
5. Seattle: .390.... 3B Soh Yamamoto- ML---B+/once a backup IF in Boston and a relatively unknown when picked he has been quietly awesome in Seattle...again, better picks available at this slot
6. Omaha: .413.... LF Teruo Kondo AAA----B+/Came storming out of the gate with a 7+WAR season rookie season but has come back down to earth
7. SF: .419....1B Ben Mens MLB----A+/How this dude dropped to #7 had to be some major scouting disparity. The best player in the league not named Marino
8. Cincy: .444.... SP Jesus Guerrero- ML----A-/The best arm in the Boston system at the time but hasn't reached that true superstar status that was expected
9. Chicago: .452....SP Cris Arozco AAA---D-/Arguably the best reliever in the NL last year and still only 25 but not a top 10 pick
10. Toronto: .460.... SP Tom Young- AAA---B/He hasn't blossomed from what his potential was in the Boston system but dont blame the pick as he was a true 80 back in '18..but so was everyone else
11. Sheltown: .475... SP Hisaki Kikuchi- ML---A+/Involved in one of the most controversial trades last year but only 25 and ready to become an elite arm consistently
12. Los Angeles: .481.... OF Gonzalo Moreno- AAA---B+/Possibly the most versatile and best OF glove in the
13. Las Vegas: .485... SP Stephen Walker- ML---B+/Was not really considered a high prospect in the Boston system but he has turned into a solid arm and consistent seasons in LV
14. Philly: .491... SP 3B Jay Dillard- ML---B/He has never put it all together based on his elite ratings but is as consistent as they come.
15. Cookeville: .506... OF Jose Flores- ML---B+/I am giving a higher grade as he was an absolute stud coming up the Boston system but really dropped big time to only a marginal player. Cant blame the pick
16. Hillsboro: .510...SP Don Simmons-AAA---C-/Simmons never really turned the corner and I had him as mid 60s arm..now hes in the 30s
17. Houston: .510.... CF Arthur Webber- A---B+/Webber hasn't put it all together yet but he is only 25 and still some great ratings to try and turn a corner
18. NE: .512....SP Austin Ammons-AA---D-/Ammons was a low prospect in our farm and his record of performance is meeting that thus far
19. Steel City: .520...SP Chris Oliver-ML---A/Qaz took a gamble on the "old" guy in the draft and it paid off. He got Plummer and DLS out of a deal in sending him to Boston where he won a title...thanks!
20. Albany: .526... 1B Paul Montgomery- AA---A/I had him real high in my farm developing and thought no one would take him...damn you Baker..RIP
21. WF: .534.... OF Jarrod Jeavons- SA---B/Jeavons was a former #1 pick and we loved his makeup but he tailed off substantially in recent years and now may just be a utility guy going forward
22. OCD: .545.... C Greg McKnight- AA--A+/One of the best picks in this draft based on the picks and his potential. Stud Catcher
23. LB: .551.... SP Raul Herrera- SA---D/Herrera was a mediocre prospect and he has played out that way so far in his MLB career
24. Moose Jaw: .561... Asshole Shotgun Torres- ML---C+/Moose Jaw took the gamble on the next old guy as he was trying to get to the next level but he fizzled hard
25. Miami: .561 - Rafael Medina - SP - A---C-/Medina was high when we traded for him but he hit the wall hard and nick was nice enough to trade him to me...he sucks, thanks nick
26. Washington: .586...RP Jing-Sheng Shaw ML---B-/Should be a starter but the Crabs turned him into an ok reliever
27. PO: .588...OF Jeff Wells R---D-/Former Boston #1 pick but hasn't lived up to the pick and has tailed off into the 30s. Ratings look ok though but still in AAA
28. Bama: .609...OF William Robinson SA---B+/Robinson was rated very highly when picked and one of my favorite prospects but has since just been an average player...but only 25
29. Richmond: .627... CF Vicente Ramirez- AAA---C+/Ramirez is versatile but hasn't lived up to the ratings and has been bounced around for a while

7. SF: .419....1B Ben Mens MLB----A+/How this dude dropped to #7 had to be some major scouting disparity. The best player in the league not named Marino

And it looks like both Mens and Marino will be FA's next offseason

Marino is signed through '57

This has been disappointing because I could kind of use a corner OF at this point in time... And Shel just snuck ahead of me on Payne this offseason.

Pretty cool like follow up there Corey.

Flores has definitely disappointed but I feel he turned the corner slightly mid season last year. See if he can keep it up.

Thanks!

I found it relevant as we see what the draft did to the Boston minors and how they actually panned out, Boston being screwed by Billy and '19 and the beginning of the end of the dynasty.

What the eff did I do

If anyone but Boston was feeling the pain due to these ridiculous extension asks you would do something about it.

But nooooooooooooooooooooooo, you are basking in this Boston sell off as its your only chance to win much like your title* while I was on vacation and Marino and Bri injured.

Lol, i am losing guys to with these extensions. Everyone is, not just Boston. The entire league is happy to see your team fall apart and I am trying to work on our finances to straighten it out. Just not by doing something dumb like adding 75 million to everyone’s budget

There is that weird thing again where you compare Richmond to Boston.

You gotta stop that.
