    Boston has a few young players that are great players, but have this stench of disappointment. Benintendi, Devers, E-Rod, Xander, Swihart, etc. Mookie is really the only one of those amazing prospects that really became a star and he was by far the least heralded.

    Don’t get me wrong though, I would love to have all of them.

    Ender's going to be leading off again after we leave Boston if Acuna is still struggling. I almost guarantee it.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    Maybe 2-3.

    Catcher could be better, and Dansby is inconsistent.

    Benintendi on pace for 4+ war in his 2nd year. I wish our prospects would disappoint like that.

    Of those players, Benintendi, while he was #1 on some sites before 2017, this is pretty much what you get, I don't think he's a big time bat, I think he's a 20/20 guy with an outstanding OBP. Too early on Devers, and Xander's career has kind of been funny. He seems to switch back and forth from contact and power by year.

    Defensively speaking, you can argue that. JBJ is an insane defensive player.

    I've never seen such a lack of clutchness

    Yeah I get that, but he’s basically been a 20/20 guy with average defense in the corner. Like I said, I really like him (and all the players I mentioned). If Acuna settled into that type of player, we would all feel disappointed despite that being a very good player.

    Camargo doesn't make that play at short.
