So let me get this straight. Papelbon, who has a 3.43 ERA with 11 saves in Greenville, and Travis Beazley, who has excllent control demonstrated by a 92/12 K/BB ratio should be released. I understand these aren't top tier prospects, but released?
Yet you flipped out when Mario Pena was released, berating the Red Sox FO. Mario Pena's Lancaster stats: 12.21 ERA, 0 Ks, 6 BBs, 2.36 WHIP. And you sing the praises of Manny Arambarris, who is in his 6th year in the organization hasn't made it out of Low A Ball, and has the emptiest batting average in the organization?
On other sites, you've played up the MLB potential of players like Richard Santana, Heriberto Guzman, Luis Segovia, Moises Santa, Roberto Sosa, only to name a few. You flipped out when they were released and nobody else picked them up. You've been touting Miguel Socolovich for years, who now has a 6.94 ERA in Lowell after putting up a 6.65 ERA in Greenville. Yet you've constantly criticized players like Ryan Colvin, Jed Lowrie, Dustin Pedroia, and Kevin Youkilis.
I'd love to hear you explain your scouting theories here and tell everyone that racism doesn't come into play. I've been lurking over here for a while, I wonder if the good people at this site deserve an explanation as to the basis of your opinions, or whether they should just take your scouting of Latin players v. white players with a grain of salt.
