They have been drafting better as of late. Not sure about at Carson Fullmer pick.

Which draft picks have been better as of late?

This year's pick is about the only one that seems to know how to hit. He's in his first year so the sample size is too small.

Anderson is a massive failure.

The catcher they drafted is batting around .200 in Class A and strikes out forty percent of the time.

Rodon is decent but looks like an injury waiting to happen.

Burdi is having Tommy John surgery.

The affletes they drafted before that are epic failures.

Hopefully this year marked the year they started picking players that can actually contribute something above replacement level.

If he turns into a dominate bullpen arm he won't be a failure.

When you have a top 10 pick, your goal should be a little higher than "Bullpen Arm"

Fulmer is a massive failure

Maybe. A long way to go.

I'm not sure a guy with a 1.5 WHIP and only 6 K/9 can thrive anywhere.

Royce Ring 2.0

That's because they foolishly tried to change him. Put him in the bullpen and let him go back to what he was. He could be real good in that role.

Andrew Miller was the 6th pick. It really doesn't matter "Bob"

Nah if a draft pick is an impact major leaguer it's pretty good usually.

I don't think Bob understands what "failure" is, which is ironic in itself given his posting history.

ok, if he's Andrew Miller, I guess it will work out. But that's also a long way away. Also Miller hopped through a couple of organizations before actually becoming "Andre Miller"

That's because teans kept running him out there as a starter. It wasn't until his 2nd year in Boston that he was moved to the bullpen for good and he thrived. The Sox just need to accept what Fulmer is and move him to the bullpen. I think he'll be a much better pitcher once they finally make that decision.

Is a Moncada/Devers package better than Moncada/Kopech/Stuff?

minor league nerds would know

They could've gotten all three. They should have not settled for anything less than a Moncada/Devers/Kopech package.

Also, Kopech has made huge strides with his control this season. He's not a 5bb/9 pitcher anymore. He's probably the best pitching prospect in baseball and maybe the most talented overall player in the minors. Hard to complain about him.
