----------------------------------------
Scouting Report: Felix Doubront was well known as a bonus baby heading into the 2005 season. However, the 17 year-old lefty exceeded the expectations to become a candidate for the league pitcher of the year. Doubront utilizes a high 80s fastball that tops out at 91, with average breaking pitches which have steadily improved in short time. Likely will begin 2006 in the GCL.

he is one of the more interesting pitchers to watch that is way down in the system. that scouting report came from scaffolds at soxprospects.com and he is high on Doubront as he has seen him pitch before.

What is his ceiling if he keep this up and keeps on developing, I guess time as of now is on his side, with him being only 17.

Along with Phillips, he's another lefty pitcher I believe could have potential.

He's 18 and already touching 90, so thats a start with me. Also his pitches are steadily improving. I look forward to what 2006 will bring.

if he keeps this improvement like he has shown as a 17 yr old in the VSL the sky is the limit with him. he could give the red sox a potential solid pitcher down the road if he develops properly.

Jesus, thes pitchers are poppin up everywhere in our system.

he still has a long way to go until becoming a legitimate prospect but he is heading in the right direction. This year his goal should be to have success in the Gulf Coast league in his first experience in the US.

O yeah, of course, just seems everything is goin right for our minor league system. I mean Lester developing and raising his ceiling, Papelbon comin all this way, Pedroia shootin through the affiliates, I could go on and on but these past two years have been great in terms of future talent.

ya its encouraging but the red sox also have lost some depth through trades which they will need to get back this year with 7 picks in the top 100 and also be bigger players on the international market especially in Latin America where they have struggled recently.

True, but don't we have like a camp in the DR? Also we've been pushing hard at Asia which isn't bad I guess.

We have a Dominican academy but we still have not been able to sign the big bonus young guys down there. This summer I believe the red sox will only have a Dominican summer league team and not a Venzuelan summer league team.

Wily Peralta RHP- $450,000 to the brewers dominican
Fernando Martinez OF- $1.4 million to the mets dominican

Was at the GCL complex for about an hour. Doubrount looked like a pretty good pitcher. Good command, good fastball with a nice sink to it. They didn't have any scoreboard radar guns, but it looked like he was throwing around 87-92 mph. His slider also looked very promising. He could develop into a decent two or three starter.

It will be interesting too see how he does in the higher levels of minor league baseball




this isnt about him but i think that King Felix is overrated

Yeaaaaaaaah ... he's not. His ERA is 0.11 points higher than Beckett's. He has a 3-1 K-BB ratio just like Beckett does. I really don't have time to sit here and go over all his numbers, but trust me you're wrong.

To say a 20 year old with his numbers is overrated clearly shows that you know nothing about baseball.

Felix Hernandez is going to be VERY good, I mean, Pedro didnt even start when he was 20, so Felix still has a lot of time to elarn and ahrness everything he has.

Felix Hernandez is an absolute beast. He barely played Minor league baseball because he was 19 when he came up. He has never had professional hitters make adjustments to him before since he wasn't in the minors too long, its a sophmore slump, if you've watched him pitch you would know his stuff is electric. He is gonna be a machine.

Doubront will start the season on the DL, recouping from an off-season hernia operation

Haven't seen much of him, but he reminds me a little of Brett Cecil with his arm action.

One thing I like about Doubrant is he throw alott of strikes earli in the count. Which is big for a reliever. He seams to have made an easy transition to the bullpen.

I don't want to see this kid wasted on the bullpen longterm. He can start.

If it'll get him into the majors and get him used to facing big league hitters, a couple years in the pen won't kill him -- heck, Curt Schilling started that way and he's probably a Hall of Famer. But longterm he's got to be seen as a starter IMHO.

That still leaves 29 other teams. Lefties with #3 starter potential (which is about where I see Prince Felix) are very fungible. It's pretty easy to turn them into other players via trade since everyone really likes to have one.

Two years is a long time, especially with this team's track record of bringing up quality pitching. I would prefer to keep that spot open for Kelly.

Kelly took a huge step back this year. I wouldn't hold my breath with him.

We'll have opportunities to sign pitchers between now and then. I'm not convinced that Doubront is a guy we need to obsess about keeping, especially with Richardson flashing some nice stuff in his rookie campaign.

Trading Doubront atm is trading from a position of depth. It'd depend on what we could talk out of other teams, obviously, but you always contemplate doing that if you think it improves your team.

My Doubront trade scenario is something like Doubront for Napoli, although I can't blame others for not going for it. Napoli's a slugger with high power potential who I think would solve our issues at 1B but there's no denying he'd be a bit of a project.

I'm normally on board for a lot of your crazy ideas but the Napoli one just doesn't make that much sense. He's going to be 29 next year and will MAYBE post a .840 or so OPS over a full season which is just not going to cut it for the Boston Red Sox.

Kelly took a huge step back this year. I wouldn't hold my breath with him.

i wouldn't call it a huge step back. he's a 20 year old competing against people who for the most part 3-4 years older than him so it's expected that he's going to struggle. still, i'm not a huge fan of him. i think he's another michael bowden and his stuff won't play out against major leaguers

Palodios

While I'm very intrigued by having Napoli and Vmart share C and 1B, I still dont think its going to happen, and especially not for Doubront.
