    Obviously a few guys like Watson and others will not sign, but I think the Sox will sign most of their picks. It looks like they really did their homework this year.
    Yes I'm replying to my own alias. Ronan is not signing, I got that wrong. The kid is going to college.

    Usually promotions come after minor league all-star breaks, the first one of note is Salem closer Matthew Gorst to Portland. Drafted last year and had a 1.59 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 33 K in 28 IP.

    The Red Sox announced a variety of signings, including that of second-rounder Nick Decker. A New Jersey high-school outfielder who was slated to attend the University of Maryland, Decker will instead take home a $1.25MM bonus to join the Boston organization, per Alex Speier of the Boston Globe (via Twitter). That payday lands just north of the $1,010,500 allocation for the 64th overall pick. Decker drew a variety of grades entering the draft, with Fangraphs placing him just on the cusp of its top fifty. While the jury is out on Decker’s pure hitting ability, scouts love his present-day physical ability and big power at the plate.

    Decker and our first round pick’s scouting reports read like dalbec’s. ( minus the pitching aspect) Should be interesting to see if they follow a similar development path.

    This is a well earned promotion. He has been lights out this year.

    Fangraphs had this...

    Alexander Montero, RHP, Boston Red Sox (Profile)
    Level: Short-Season Age: 20 Org Rank: NR FV: 35+
    Line: 5 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 7 K, 1 R

    Montero’s presence and early success is a welcome sight for one of the worst systems in baseball. He’s a relatively projectable 20-year-old with a three-pitch mix led by a fastball that’s up to 95 mph and a diving split changeup. Montero signed late for an amateur IFA last summer, inking a deal just weeks before he turned 20. He pitched in the DSL last year and was skipped directly to the New York-Penn League this summer after finishing extended.

    Houck has been throwing the ball better the last two weeks. Maybe the results have not shown it entirely, but his delivery looks better and he is repeating it.

    I am sure there are more bumps along the way still to come, but if he keeps improving, we may have the next Kimbrel in the system now.

    Intriguing. It would be nice to have another arm in the system worth following.

    Austin Glorious is starting rehab. He was originally thought to be out for the whole season.
