You need to talk about Matthew Lugo also. He's been arguably better than Mayer, Teel, or Anthony, with a .650 slug, .392 OBP and easily outpaced those guys with an overall 1.042 OPS. That Sea Dogs lineup is killing it this month.
Thank you Corbin ... as a Red Sox fan since 1967 I have never before heard the detailed analysis that you offer. Obviously, you spend many hours watching, preparing and creating content. It never disappoints. Honestly, I hear more important and relevant info from you than I do from the broadcast announcers. Keep up the great work! You will go far!!
Excited to see your video on prospects just below the big 3. Portland offense is always suppressed in April/May. Good the see them adjusting to cold weather. Mayer still needs to work on his approach against lefties. Pretty sizable splits there. Teel is the guy I’m watching tho. He isn’t a catcher with the loudest tools outside of maybe his arm but his feel for the game and sum of all parts approach without a weakness will make him a really productive big leaguer for a long time. Excited to see him called up
@@redseatradio oh yeah I watch your content… almost every single day… I just mean specifically what’s happened in May for guys like bleis/perales/cespedes. Sounds like they’re def taking a step forward
While thinking of the plethora of top young OFr's in Boston and in Portland, I have flashbacks to 1974. The Sox had brought up a 20 year old Dwight Evans in 1972, and had Jim Ed Rice and Fred Lynn tearing up AAA. Meanwhile, they had well-regarded Juan Beniquez riding the Pawtucket shuttle. In the end, Beniquez was the odd-man out. After trying Beniquez at 3rd base (where he wisely, wore his batting helmet), he was traed for Fergie Jenkins after the 1975 season. Still, Beniquez lasted another 14 years in the majors..... he was hardly a star, but was the 'proverbial 4th outfielder. Amazingly, the quartet of Evans-Rice-Lynn-Beniquez played nearly a combined 64 seasons in the MLB -- has any other farm system EVER had 4 outfileders promoted to the bigs in a 2 year period and averaged 16 years a piece?
@@azex443 you’re right but if you do the analysis, lefties do have more trouble against LH pitching. So most teams try not to load up with too many of either LH or RH hitters. But old school so if you’re a great hitter you should be ok.
@@kandyman2705 yeah I see your point lefty on lefty is usually not great but it’s a lot more common to see a righty pitcher so that definitely helps and yeah if you can hit like I said it doesn’t really matter
Assuming Grissom gets to the level everyone hopes, I think Yorke and maybe Valdez are going to be dealt to fill other holes. Can’t keep them all, not enough spots on the roster in the middle infield.
I think they shouldn't push them too hard let them soak up the time if they are doing what they need to move them up if not then leave them the stats really shouldn't matter for that. If they make AAA cool but I probably wouldn't even consider moving them to the Sox this year regardless of how they do then do a true evaluation in the off season and go from there
I honestly think that these guys are on their own timeline. I don’t believe the Sox are going to force them up at any point so I think it’s really up to them when they come up. If they perform well enough I could see maybe 1 in the back half of this year
@@redseatradio if it was all about stats though then Kavadas would be in the MLB they need to see them accomplish certain things to earn that call up and I'm sure they will in time but honestly I think the end of next year is where they should be projected to hit MLB and if it's sooner great if it's the year after that's fine too but that's where I expected them the whole time. I also don't think they want to bring all three up together so you might see one the end of next year one the start of the following year and one 1-2 months into that season just to let each ease their way in on their own.
Glad to hear this Corbin. Our minor league system definitely has crown jewels and those 3 definitely qualify!!! I don't see where Mayer or Teel would have any difficulty at the triple A level. The future is bright. Now I need to see the Sox draft some young pitching early in the July draft. See you tonight !!!
A lot of the aren't really playing. Teel is obviously the main one, but I did a video on Nazzan coming back, Anderson is seriously struggling, Duffy looks solid but in a small sample, and Connelly Early is still settling into High A
There's absolutely no reason to rush these guys however it's great to see they are doing well. Unless there's an unforeseen injury we won't see any of them on the major league team until at least next season. It's definitely good to have 3 guys with very bright futures!
Roman Anthony's slow start this year, may have been a case of a Florida kid experiencing his first winter.... aka, April in Portland. The question is, do the Sox envision a 2025 log jam in the outfield, with Duran, Abreu and Rafaela blocking Anthony? Premature, perhaps, especially with Rafaela struggling with the bat, and Anthony still too young to get served alcohol, but given the dearth of top pitching prospects on the farm, is Breslow ready to deal? btw, excellent job of keeping us aware of the Holy Trinity of the Sox farm system.
You need to book your media trip to Portland so you can see them play as a unit and hopefully score some interviews. If you wait too long they may get busted up for a while as promotions to Worcester happen.
@@redseatradio those pesky life details like work keep getting in the way. Wonder how AA Portland would do against the MLB White Sox in a series. Portland is a solid team. Would like to see Zach Penrod get called up to Worcester sometime soon.
Mayer has played in the organization longer than the other two prospects. He's been consistently very good, but not great. He could become a Nomar Garciaparra, but he has not reached that level as a player so far, and he might never. I do think he's ready for AAA, though. The other two (Anthony & Teel) are younger and still need more seasoning at AA, before a promotion. Jordan and Yorke are slightly behind them. Bleis and Nazzan have great potential to become stars, but they can't seem to stay healthy to put together a monster season. As of yet. Cespedes could be the best of them all, after his monster rookie season last year at DSL, but still has a long way to go in MiLB. As for pitching in my Top Ten prospects, Gonzales has struggled this year, but Perales is making strides and consistently improving his game. BTW Corbin, I hope you have a great career as a baseball analyst. You have the best Red Sox channel, by far. Continue to work passionately hard at your dream and I'm sure at some point, you will catch the attention of a Major League executive for a job in their organization. Preferably Boston.
Glad we currently have a "Big Three" trio waiting in the wings, but has been the situation over these last number of years, the Red Sox need to get up to full speed in producing some good young arms to accompany this talent along the way to Fenway ... However, I'm confident and quite optimistic that Craig Breslow is making minor league pitching acquisition and development his #1 priority moving forward ...
Tannour Houck and Kutter are legit CY young contenders right now, Luis Perales looks better than ever, wikelman looks fantastic, Richard Fitts, grant gambrell and Zach Penrod all exploding on the scene. Pitching pipeline is getting there you just aren’t looking hard enough
@@redseatradio Corbin ... Thanks for setting me straight with the good news that there is more decent young pitching talent in the Red Sox minor league pipeline ...
Florida or Lake George? Breslow is going to have huge decisions at the trade deadline far more than the 2024 season calls. Do the RS sell due to a having low playoffs to get more future prospects? One thing that you you should discuss is Nick Yorke's fate? He is worth 12 value, and given his age Breslow needs to be trade him. How aggressive will Henry?
I can see them all earning a promotion to AAA soon if they keep this up. In worst case sinareo(sort of) and they can play like this in AAA and the Red Sox are out of the play-offs, I can see them promoting at least Mayer, like they did Raphaela last year
How has Mayer’s defense been? And Anthony’s? Also-all three bat left handed. Any concerns about future lineup balance? Devers, Casas, Masa all lefties too.
Anthony’s been solid, Mayer struggling a bit defensively but looking better. Personally I don’t really care about the lineup balance as Casas and Devers are still hitting lefties but I assume that’s something the Red Sox will be making decisions on this offseason especially with Duran,Abreu and Masa
Por favor haga un video de los novatos top 10 de red sox que son intocables y cuales serán de alto impact un 2025 y que bates pueden buscar en trade para reforzar el bateo
Here's the problem- all 3 prospects mentioned here are lefty hitters and we also have guys like Devers, Duran, Yoshida, Abreu, and Casas among many others on our MLB team and Fenway is better for righties than lefties. The Orioles have a lefty-heavy lineup too but Camden Yards is now better for lefties because of that disgusting wall in left field. The Astros have a balanced lineup.
If they can hit it won’t matter from what side. I think the Sox will have to make a tough decision this offseason between Duran and Abreu to help balance it out a bit
Wow losing Xander to the Padres was huuuuuuge! NOT! Sox fans griped and complained about the cheap ownership…and see Xander now…this is why fans make horrible GM’s. Mayer is a dynamic player
really hard to predict he was going to dive for a baseball and shatter his shoulder. And on top of that he was supposed to be here for a much cheaper deal had ownership just actually paid him
Okay? I don’t understand really worrying about that before they’ve even swung a bat in MLB yet. Right now that kinda just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining
You need to talk about Matthew Lugo also. He's been arguably better than Mayer, Teel, or Anthony, with a .650 slug, .392 OBP and easily outpaced those guys with an overall 1.042 OPS. That Sea Dogs lineup is killing it this month.
Yeah he’s crushing it was penciling in that video for next week!
Matthew Lugo is only 23, so I say the Red Sox got a big 4 now as top prospects.
Can't wait for the ATM to arrive in Boston. The future looks bright. We just need to be patient. Keep Your Sox On!!

Reminds me when they had Xander & Mookie in the system.. let's hope it plays out in a similar fashion..
That would be incredible
Hopefully it doesn’t play out to its ENTIRETY lol
@@arnaldolopez6471 lmao I legit clicked reply to say the exact same thing
The weather's heating up in my neighborhood . Glad to see it's getting hot on the farm!
Yessir it’s that time of year
Thank you Corbin, very cool!
Thanks for watching!
Can't wait to watch them tonight. Great video. Better come check them out before the trio is broken up. The invite still stands.
I know I know I’ve just been swamped I really appreciate the invite
I mean he'll see them in AAA and again in the MLB lol
I'm happy they are doing well. Means they are on track to join the big league. I really can't wait to see them up here and see what they can do.
Yeah I’m unbelievably curious more than anything with how much is on their shoulders how it goes

I mean if you can hit does it really matter? I understand lefty righty matchups but our current lineup is mainly lefties and it seems to be working

Assuming Grissom gets to the level everyone hopes, I think Yorke and maybe Valdez are going to be dealt to fill other holes. Can’t keep them all, not enough spots on the roster in the middle infield.
I honestly do know prodigy. My guess would be they move Yorke but they could let them flat battle to win the spot then move the other too

Corbin, he is saying congratulations to the big 3's progress. He wouldn't be surprised if that all three are called together in September.

Sería genial, pero no creo que todos terminen aquí al mismo tiempo. Supongo que Marcelo es primero y luego Teel.

I think it would be super dumb for the Sox to be idk 1.5 games out of the playoff picture and say eh FanGraphs says it’s a 24% chance sell the ship
And this was Florida for a wedding
I definitely think these guys will reach Triple A this year!!!
Yeah I think they will too especially if they keep hitting like this

Yeah I think Mayer is possible due yo age and experience. Teel I think has an outside shot, Anthony I’d be surprised a bit
Marcelo has 8 steals as well
Yeah he’s been more more athletic on the basepaths this year which is awesome

I’m not really sure what there is to understand really
Don’t apologize man. You needed a vacation.
I hope they don’t push the kids, that doesn’t usually lead to good things.
Yeah pushing doesn’t always work. I don’t really think they will though

Tyler O’Neil needs to start hitting and striking out less
Casas, Devers , Doran, Abreu plus these 3 . Too many lefty bats. They won't keep them all.
Okay? I don’t understand really worrying about that before they’ve even swung a bat in MLB yet. Right now that kinda just sounds like complaining for the sake of complaining
hits with RISP....walking Devers was weak....somethings are bigger than the game...once in a lifetime chance and they screwed him over
I mean they are trying to win the game we would have been pissed if the Sox let Randy Arozerana make history and lose the game because of it
Dominic Smith, really?
