BP Chats

DateQuestionAnswer
2018-05-25 12:15:00 (link to chat)Who are your favorite pop up arms so far this season? Jalen Beeks and Denis Santana come to mind.
(Charlie from Sunnyvale)
I mentioned Paddack just before, but guys like Suarez who was mentioned earlier in the chat...Francisco Morales and Spencer Howard from Philly. Bryse Wilson in Atlanta. Oh and speaking of Atlanta, we need to be talking about Touki Toussaint like we used to. (Craig Goldstein)
2018-05-01 13:00:00 (link to chat)Jalen Beeks at AAA: 19.2 IP, 37K, 6BB, 0.97 WHIP, each start looking better. Okay, four starts, but this seems worthy of discussion. Thoughts?
(chunkstyle from Toronto)
I'd still be a little worried about the frame holding up, especially if the velocity keeps ticking down during starts. But it's certainly a great start, and he'll definitely be added to my watch lists. (Mark Barry)
2017-07-19 17:00:00 (link to chat)Any under the radar Sox pitching prospects out there? I haven't heard or seen much, and that scares me
(Jim from Mass)
Jalen Beeks was one of the two guys I was high on over the last few months(the other was Tzu-Wei Lin, but it seems very condescending to say that now). He's in Triple-A right now after a particularly impressive run in Portland. He's worth keeping an eye on, since decent pitchers in the Red Sox's high minors seems to be a rarity lately. (Brett Cowett)
