Alternatively, he could set the world on fire and make it a problem.Snodgrass'Muff said:
Or, he won't likely be major league ready (if ever) for like 4 years and by then Margot will either be a starter in Boston, traded, or washed out and Betts will have shown us if he's a future MVP or just a major league regular and the problem probably won't ever exist.

A man can dream right?
jscola85 said:For those lamenting Mark Kotsay, in his peak years (2001 - 2004) he was a 4-WAR player who posted roughly a .290/.360/.440 line with elite defense in center field and double digit steals on the basepaths. Is that really all that bad? Clearly don't want the guy who inexplicably lingered around for 5 years longer than he deserved in the majors, but Peak Kotsay was a damn good player.

If he develops as anticipated then Margot becomes expendable. Or he does. Or Mookie does.
Savin Hillbilly said:
As a ceiling comp he might be a little underwhelming for a #7 overall pick. As an upper-mid comp, he's fine. We can hope for more, but getting Kotsay would be a perfectly acceptable outcome.

Who the fuck is Castro?Laser Show said:You realize Castro is our right fielder now right?
Harold Reynolds says he's Boston's new addition in RF.Rice4HOF said:Who the fuck is Castro?
My thoughts on him exactly re: Trout2!Snodgrass'Muff said:
If they had, I'd have been worried about him actually being the next Trout for wholly irrational reasons.
He's pretty good on camera, though. Funny, too.

I have to admit that there was an MLB network profile about him focusing on how his mother passed away from cancer and he came off as a really likeable kid.Wingack said:
Should I be happy with this?

I saw the feature on him yesterday. Huge makeup guy, I think. His mom passed away from cancer recently. Big tear jerker and seems like a decent kid.

Where were you two watching this?
Wingack said:
Nice and I like the Wacha comp they just said.
Jesus, what happened to not talking if you make breakfast?Fratboy said:
I'll just say Rough is a sheet stealer. Big time.
Ha. I missed the word never.E5 Yaz said:
"He'll never be as good a pitcher as Michael Wacha."
Good comp
Ummm...completely indifferent?Rough Carrigan said:Before that yankees pick they showed David Cone sitting at the yankees table. Doesn't he still do broadcasting for the YES network? If so, that's a little odd. How would we feel if Remy was at the Sox table?

I don't know, I guess two possibilities. Either it's completely pointless, in which case why bother. Do they really need Cone's degree of celebrity? Or, if he ever does anything, does that compromise his ability to be objective.Papelbon's Poutine said:Ummm...completely indifferent?
Why does that strike you as being odd? I guess I'm just not getting what issue you're having with it.
