Was hot as hell in August and had to miss an entire week of games.

I seen that, and he is one of the guys I would normally call a top-100-adjacent as the biggest $ amount in this years IFA class. And he turned 17 back in May so he is not that young. I will call the TX "watchful waiting".

Unless there's some sort of explanation, like an injury, signing this kid is one of the greatest misses ever. To be fair, organizations make these commitments early, sometimes when kids are 13, though I think that's probably an extreme. But certainly the top potentials get verbal agreements at 14 and 15. I think Celesten was 14. So maybe, with Joseph, he showed more potential when he was younger but that just didn't carry over when the pitchers got a little bit older and with a little bit better stuff. I don't know. It seems like a real miss though.

Arroyo and Montes each with 2 HR tonight. I know a lot of people like Cole young for 2B, but arroyo is coming for that spot…

Montes after a horrid July with the Sox is up to .284/.850!

Will have to see how Arroyo does at Ark but yes he seems far more impressive than Young at this point.

Montes July vs. August is just completely INSANE!

I’m just impressed with arroyos power for a 19 year old that is 5’8. He’s hit everywhere. Wonder if his defense translates to 3B.

He hasn't hit at AA yet. I just hope they don't rush him. This organization has a tendency to rush any hitting prospect that they get even remotely excited about.

What would rushing him look like? I think he should go to AA next year and be there most of the year

Rushing would be bringing him up next year when he should be at AA. And then the following year, I would be on guard for the all too common spring training narrative that says the player has "nothing left to prove" in the minor leagues, which 9 times out of 10 is complete nonsense. Actually, I would be on guard about that next spring as well.

Maybe a late call up, but yes, should be in AA next season, regardless of how he does.
