Well they acquired him for a lefty reliever with a career ERA of almost 10.00 and a fifth round pick with no MLB experience, so the historical price isn’t TOO high. A controllable former first rounder could have some value. Take, for example, Christian Arroyo.
I can see the BTV valuations being reasonable...

HR last night helps, but Duran's power numbers away from Polar Park still well below those at home. SSS caveat, but still kind of stark:
H: 12 G, .286/.375/.735, 4 2B, 6 HR, .258 BABIP
A: 9 G, .222/.349/.417, 1 2B, 2 HR, .286 BABIP
WooSox as a team:
H: 18 G, 33 HR
A: 15 G, 15 HR
I agree with some of the skepticism surrounding WOO numbers right now. We don't really know how that ballpark plays. At this point, there have been a few "jet stream" concerns posted by some who follow the team.
2 Hrs in 9 road games is pretty good, too.

The issue is 2x as many HR's at home in PP. May need to be mindful about power numbers going forward.
I get the point but 2 Hrs per 9 games is 36 per 162.
That's a mind full.

Boston can be pretty windy, too.
Worcester kind of reminds me how scouts used to talk about the PCL years ago. You have to take the numbers with a grain of salt. The stadium was constructed for balls flying out of there.
But Duran’s .766 road OPS (and .222 road BA) is a little less than inspiring
It’s definitely a small sample size, but it falls in love with the reports that Worcesters Stadium pads stats. It’s a hitters heaven.
Just one of many reasons to not scout the box score.
It also throws a big question mark into how ready to handle MLB pitching Duran really is…
After going 0 for 5 last night he's hitting .244. That will cool the old schoolers' ardor a bit.
Championships since purchase by John Henry group: Red Sox 4 Yankees 1
The Red Sox are 8-1 in their last 9 postseason games against the Yankees.
Cue the Casas call-up brigade.

A good formula for determining when a guy is MLB ready is to take the date fans start insisting they belong in the majors and add one year to that date.
That's a better plan than many I have seen, here.
