I couldn’t agree more with you Corbin regarding Anthony. No one’s ever a lock until they’re in the majors and regularly facing 98 - 100 mph heat and sliders that leave batters frozen in the batters box. But Anthony seems like the real deal! Yesterday i commented that I would have liked to have seen the Sox sign Teoscar but not if it any way slowed Anthony’s progress. Now I see a starting four outfielders of Duran, Rafaela, Abreu and Anthony. Maybe Abreu starting in right but Anthony getting every shot to overtake him or Rafaela. Still need a righty bat!
You got me excited. I just watched a 2024 highlight video. What surprised me was his power and how often he went to LEFT field. He could pepper that wall.
You must be in my head Corbin! I am a huge Roman Anthony fan. I actually like his overall multi-tool game more than Soto! I am extremely excited about Anthony . I cannot wait to see him in Boston. We should be excited about our prospects! We got some serious players!!! Flaunt it my good fellow !!! I love it. We just need to figure out how we are going to play everyone. Yes sir. I would love Bregman on this team as well. What about Hunter Dobbins? I like what I am reading and seeing about him. He might be getting close ? Joe
im leaning more towards keep him at triple a just to make sure the season he had at triple a is not a fluke. not saying it will be but to take a big jump from triple a to the majors right away its gonna be tough. i mean if hes ready for it go for it but keep him at triple a and if he dominates then bring him up
I just don't see them starting him in the majors and maybe not for a while. I'd love to see him and Campbell to make the team out of the spring but I don't see them doing it
Like Roman Anthony a lot. Look forward to seeing him and Campbell in the spring. I have no doubt Anthony has the skill set for the major leagues. May be a very short adjustment to the pitching but he will be special for sure.
Mayers needs to play one of the left side infielders. Anthony can play LF or RF. Campbell can play OF or 2nd base. Bring them on. Bregman wouldn’t hold them up!
as much as Anthony and Campbell could earn a roster spot out of spring training, I would be inclined to have them start in AAA for 2-3 months until some borderline players on the 40-man can be cleared up - trade, or IL
I think he will be a trade deadline call up. Not that he is not ready but because of room. I think Campbell will get second base out of Spring training if there is a spot on the 40 man. If not it will be Grissom. I do not want Bregman for 5 years. If it is a one year deal ok. But Yosida has to be moved first.
@@forgottenpath5919 I think Grissom will be at second base and Campbell can play outfield. In the small sample size, Grissom was ok at 2nd. We definitely need a back up first baseman.
Look at most of the "can't miss" prospects around baseball the last few years. They're planning on bringing him up to be a savior which can be too much for these kids. I'm hopeful for him but I'm not betting on him to have immediate success.
Anthony is just 20 yo. 6’2 200 lb. He’s going to fill out and add more weight and muscle. I don’t want to make things too easy for him. Make him work. So, I just don’t see him coming out of ST with a job. I’d like to see a bit more at AAA. RS need a 3B. Devers to DH. Bregman is the guy. He’s a perfect fit. If you get Boras to come down off 7 years to a 6 year 180 mil contract I think you snag him. Detroit and the Mets standing back in the tall weeds. The Mets are being used by Boras as leverage. Ha ha then you have Alonso being used against the Mets. A little chess being played. But if Bregman thinks the RS offer is good enough I think he’ll be a RS. His RH bat is perfect for the Green Monster. Championship player with an all star glove at 3B. Devers played himself out of 3B and there’s no room at 1B. He should be the DH. And don’t even think about Bregman at 2B. What a bad idea that is and Cora himself saying it. This is why I don’t like Cora 100%. He molley coddles his hispanic players. Clearly, Devers is no longer a 3B. Most errors of any 3B two years in a row. Cora tell him to give you his glove. Personally, I think the RS lost out on Fried because of Devers poor defense. So much pressure coming to a new city and having a big contract. Do you think Fried would put his mental health on the line dealing with Devers defense? There you go…
You failed to mention Rob Refsnyder. With the glut of talent they have in the outfield, I still wonder why they resigned him. Having that right handed bat off the bench that can really hit lefties is great, but is it worth a roster spot when you have so many other talented guys? I still think that they will try to trade Abreu. It remains to be seen if Anthony can hit lefties at the big league level, so a right handed bat other than Refsnyder is a must.
I agree with you about Rob Refsnyder. He is a back up, happy with his job and he is good at it. At second base they also have Hamilton who was decent there and could hit. I loved him running with Duran. The red sox will face more right handed pitching than lefties.
I'd like him in LF. Duran in CF and Rafaella as a super-sub utility player. Even if they pick up another RH bat. I guess it may be between Bregman, Arenado or Santander at 3B/OF/DH.
There’s a better chance John Henry forces his chief GM to attach Roman Anthony to Yoshida just to jettison Masataka’s contract & completely waste another major resource Alah Mookie Betts. Compared to locking up the Roman Empire to an early extension…
His name alone tells me he’s going to rake, Roman Anthony is such a baseball name, up there with the modern era goats like Gunner Henderson, Mookie Betts and Mile Trout.
Im stoked to see him play on the big league club. Him and Campbell. I just hate an organization as big as the Sox putting all this pressure on unproven talent. Dont seem to smart and is completely avoidable but heres to the young cats man.
Anthony has not proven himself over time and it remains to be seen if he makes the club this year. I'd say let him prove himself in triple A in 2025 and then see if he's ready by September.
For one your equating minor league pitching to major league all stars secondly Anthony struggled at AAA not hitting above 270 and striking out 1 / 4 times up. Promising although no doubt is his overall potential based on his Overall minor league stats but he’s inky 21 and mlb & Sox history are full of prospects more heralded then Roman who didn’t make it Yoan Moncada Hanley Ramirez Ryan Westmoreland So lees temper our enthusiasm
Agree that Anthony and Campbell could possibly be another Rice/Lynn dynamic duo. But I could not disagree more about Bregman. He wants way too much money and too many years for someone in his 30s whose numbers have been in slight decline, and whose walk rate mysteriously evaporated last year. The only way I want Bregman on this team is if he accepts a one-year prove-it contract.
Considering his golden glove defensive skills and the friendly confines of Fenway park which may very well help his batting average and other offensive numbers it might turn out better than you think. Time will tell.
Interesting video but don't see path unless Redsox make series of move as follows: First trade Yoshida. Move Rafaela 2B If no Brinkman, Campbell 3B Move Devers DH If he's ready Anthony LF Then you have lineup: Duran CF Brinkman/Campbell 3B Devers DH Story SS Casas 1B Wong C Anthony LF Rafaela 2B Abrea RF Hamilton inf Gonzalez inf Refsydner of Catcher backup
I have already accepted the true fact that John SOB Henry is not going to spend money.. Su Breslow has to be very careful about making trades to make the Redsox better..
Another great prospect is Kristian Campbell. If he can put a bit more launch into his swing, he could smash 25 dingers in a season. Hits the ball hard with great velocity. Yes, let's get the Bregman deal done. The Tigers signed Gleyber Torres, so Bregman should be ready to come to Boston. Not just a great baseball player but also will be good leader in the clubhouse.
I like what the Sox have done with pitching this off season. I wish we would still get a big right handed bat. But where do we play that bat? Don’t trade Cases yet. Give him a year to prove his bat. I’d like to see us get Bergman for second base but the Sox seem hesitant to spend any deep money. Don’t bring up Soto that was smoke and mirrors. In a year or two we put Campbell at second, Bergman at third and Devers at first or DH. We need to sign a couple young pitchers to extensions like we did Bello
Great Anthony takes, agree 100%! To me Sox should absolutely sign Bregman for 2b. He can slide to 3b whenever Yoshida is traded. No Casas trades! (Nor the Devers to 1b talk which is idiotic and never happening! It's not a move where you take your most error ridden player and put him at the left handed batters hot corner and add bad throws and picks needed, this is Never happening) We should be looking to trade Yoshida, Sogard, Hamilton Gonzales, & Refsnyder in that order. We need to do this... Anthony for Refsnyder Bregman for Sogard Campbell for Gonzales Mayer for Hamilton Scott for any RP and take your shot at Sasaki
I think you’ve got to send Masa and call me crazy but Ceddane out so Anthony can come up. Ceddane brings the least value to the table. He’s amazing defensively, but average at best on offense. Duran while not as great defensively is leaps ahead offensively. I think a trade needs to be made to make room for Anthony. Maybe that’s getting Arenado and making moving Masa so Raffy can DH
If Anthony dominates spring training as he has the minor leagues it will be difficult to leave him off the roster. The challenge is the roster spot. I do not want the Sox to trade Abreau just to clear a spot. When they trade Abreau it should fill a specific need and yield a solid a return. Rafael needs to figure out how not to chase. He hits well for average, with occasional power. If he can turn strikeouts into walks his OBP and therefore OPS will climb. Otherwise I think he becomes a super utility player (especially next year when Refsnyder is gone). That could create an opening for Anthony.
why sign guys when you have the guy in AAA! and kristian campbell could play second. one of them guys or cedanne becomes a backup. either way they would likely see playing time!
People complaining again about not getting someone. Burnes didnt sign for money. Went to Arizona because of family and taxes. People need to do research before making stupid comments
I don't think Anthony breaks ST with the team. They fully intend to see him get more ABs in AAA. This is because they don't feel any pressure. They have a crowded outfield right now, and those guys all provide their own contributions to the current team. Anthony must have a Jordan Walker-esque ST to force his way on the team. There have to be other moves made this offseason that could point to Anthony's ascension, and it all runs through Abreu. The Sox may figure out a trade for Arenado that includes Abreu and Helsley, but I wouldn't put any stock into that idea. I also hope Yoshida finds a good home. He is a good bat but doesn't fit with the team right now. If Abreu and Yoshida get traded, I can see Anthony having a great shot at it, but I don't think we will see him until late May, barring an injury.
rarely have high priced free agents ever lived up to the hype. rookies on the other hand have often excelled. years back rice and lynn? wade boggs????. pedroia????? he might have fallen apart later but ellsbury was great when he came up! go all the way back to yaz or tony c. ????
I would love to see Anthony Grissom and Campbell open the season in Boston. I have Cambell beating out Anthony for the ROY. Grissom is a wildcard but he could be every bit as good as India at 2B. Campbell can play 2B SS or any OF spot. Anthony in LF puts him in a great position to be very impactfuk. Will Abreu be in Boston on opening day? It will be difficult if a Santander is added.
I think Roman is going to be electric but unlike Soto he doesn't cost 700 million. I'm happier with our TEAM than signing a mercenary hitter. Campbell and Anthony are more fun to cheer for than watching 700 million take a walk lol. Yeah Soto is great but 700 mil takes the fun out of it. Go Redsox!!
Ya Anthony is awesome however …the talk from Sox fans is all about Teoscar and Burnes coming off the board at some very reasonable prices….if the Red Sox won’t sign Teoscar at 3 years 66 mil why would they give Bregman 5 /175 ? It’s hard being right all the time lol
Trevor Story is Chris Sale all over again. He'll probably be injured before the season begins and break a nail upon his return and start his season around the fourth of july and really heat up right after the Sox are eliminated from any mathematical chance of reaching the playoffs .
Roman Anthony is not gonna play until September... the Red Sox are not the Tampa Bay Rays who move quickly on developing their prospects.. the Red Sox let their prospects sit in the minors for 5 years before they see MLB action
It would be great if you look before you list off facts about Anthony - 3/4 of his games in the minor leagues have been in CF (159 of 204, 76.4%), so I don't think the Red Sox are concerned about his CF defense!
Great videos. Don’t understand why everyone is 100% on Bregman. If it’s for more than 4 years it doesn’t make sense. Campbell is another prospect video you should do because I think you handcuff yourself by adding Bregman and there’s no room for Campbell unless story goes and cedanne at SS and Campbell in Of platoon?(if they get Bregman) I 100% think vlad jr is where the money goes next year. Stand pat with current roster and make a run at Jared Jones next winter to replace buehler/giolito contracts and see where the roster is at offensively at that point. Bregman is not the answer for a 5+ year contact.
I wish that Bregman signs with the Tigers or the Mets so we don't have to talk about him going to Boston. Bregman peaked 5 years ago and is not worth a 7-year contract. I would rather let Campbell play 2B.
Bregman stats have been trending down. I wouldn't sign him to more than a 3 year deal at most and I wouldn't sign him at all. He's a bust in the making. Let Roman be the DH.
Burnes has a home in Scottsdale and state taxes played a huge role in him signing in Arizona.....I like the 3 pitchers we signed and traded for....I'm fine with not signing Burnes....gives us the money to extended Crochet.....
I literally can't wait till Roman Anthony makes it to Boston! And if Trevor Story goes down again, Marcello Mayer should be ready to take over at SS.... Off topic...Corbin Burnes just signed with the Diamondbacks.....
It's looking like: 1. Duran LF 2. Campbell 2B 3. Devers 3B 4. Story SS 5. Casas 1B 6. Rafaela CF 7. Abreu RF 8. Yoshida DH 9. Wong C Bench: Refsnyder, Grissom, Narvaez, Hamilton. It's possible Hamilton wins 2B job out of camp and Romy backs him up. Anthony first call-up when injuries inevitably strike. This way we have strong defense everywhere except 3B and C. Casas should improve.
That's what you said about Bobby Dalbec, the salvation of Red Sox future..that was an enormous fart dud..😂😂😂😂
I couldn’t agree more with you Corbin regarding Anthony.

Stud, can't wait to see him at Fenway.
Looking forward to seeing Anthony in the lineup this season.

The way the roster is currently constructed he is slated to start in AAA.
I just don't see them starting him in the majors and maybe not for a while. I'd love to see him and Campbell to make the team out of the spring but I don't see them doing it
If he comes to the red sox and balls out, good for us but you cant count on it to have success this year
Like Roman Anthony a lot. Look forward to seeing him and Campbell in the spring. I have no doubt Anthony has the skill set for the major leagues. May be a very short adjustment to the pitching but he will be special for sure.
Thanks Corbin for this video you should make a video like this but about Marcelo Mayer
Great Points Corbin...Thanks
He's such a stud, the Sox seem content on him filling their SP needs
he's a beast, been collecting his sports cards, would love to hear your thoughts on marcelo as well
If they sign bregman, where are all these players gonna play
Mayers needs to play one of the left side infielders. Anthony can play LF or RF. Campbell can play OF or 2nd base. Bring them on. Bregman wouldn’t hold them up!
I would but Rafa in as and move story to 2nd
OF: Duran, Wilber and Anthony
as much as Anthony and Campbell could earn a roster spot out of spring training, I would be inclined to have them start in AAA for 2-3 months until some borderline players on the 40-man can be cleared up - trade, or IL
I'm definitely looking forward to Anthony he has a bright future hopefully in 2025!
Lock him up! 10 year with a couple of team options. Lock crochet and Campbell up while we’re at it
I think he will be a trade deadline call up. Not that he is not ready but because of room. I think Campbell will get second base out of Spring training if there is a spot on the 40 man. If not it will be Grissom.
I do not want Bregman for 5 years. If it is a one year deal ok. But Yosida has to be moved first.
Agreed. I see Campbell at 2B more and more, and Grissom getting reps at 1B and LF to get his bat in the lineup against lefties.
@@forgottenpath5919 I think Grissom will be at second base and Campbell can play outfield. In the small sample size, Grissom was ok at 2nd.
We definitely need a back up first baseman.
Maybe sign a right handed bat. Like alex Bregman.
Let’s hope Anthony isn’t another Bobby D a great AAA player
Look at most of the "can't miss" prospects around baseball the last few years. They're planning on bringing him up to be a savior which can be too much for these kids. I'm hopeful for him but I'm not betting on him to have immediate success.

Seen too many over hyped prospects start out well but once the pitchers figure him out only a few every year adjust
Let’s bring him up. He will do well.
His name alone tells me he’s going to rake, Roman Anthony is such a baseball name, up there with the modern era goats like Gunner Henderson, Mookie Betts and Mile Trout.

Well we all know that isn't gonna happen bc Scott Boras.

I wish that Bregman signs with the Tigers or the Mets so we don't have to talk about him going to Boston. Bregman peaked 5 years ago and is not worth a 7-year contract. I would rather let Campbell play 2B.
Bregman stats have been trending down. I wouldn't sign him to more than a 3 year deal at most and I wouldn't sign him at all. He's a bust in the making. Let Roman be the DH.
The real story is how Burnes signed a 210/6 deal . A deal that was doable for the Sox instead they settle for less . SMH 🤦🏾♂️
He was never gonna chose Boston. Took Les she cause he had a family in Arizona and chose them
That deals going to be rough in 3-4 years.
It is the story. How he’s not a Red Sox baffles me.
Burnes has a home in Scottsdale and state taxes played a huge role in him signing in Arizona.....I like the 3 pitchers we signed and traded for....I'm fine with not signing Burnes....gives us the money to extended Crochet.....
@@dylanhawthorne4842 I’d take 3 or 4 years of Burnes and a mediocre 5th and 6 any day
I literally can't wait till Roman Anthony makes it to Boston! And if Trevor Story goes down again, Marcello Mayer should be ready to take over at SS....
Off topic...Corbin Burnes just signed with the Diamondbacks.....
...this assumes Meyer isn't on the DL again.
@@frankzabek8851true!
If he's better than Duran, we should trade Duran while he's at peak value.
No
Don't trade Duran I'm greedy, want to keep them all.
It's looking like:
1. Duran LF
2. Campbell 2B
3. Devers 3B
4. Story SS
5. Casas 1B
6. Rafaela CF
7. Abreu RF
8. Yoshida DH
9. Wong C
Bench: Refsnyder, Grissom, Narvaez, Hamilton. It's possible Hamilton wins 2B job out of camp and Romy backs him up. Anthony first call-up when injuries inevitably strike. This way we have strong defense everywhere except 3B and C. Casas should improve.
BREGMAN
Let’s go 🎉🎉
