The MiLB Talk Crew of Derrik, Hunter & Jake are joined this week by the one and only Tim to go over the season opening games for the WooSox, preview the Greenville and Salem seasons, and pick system breakout players. Hunter got to see the first WooSox games of the year in person and gave his report on guys like Brian Van Belle, Grant Gambrell, David Hamilton, Chase Meidroth and Luis Guerrero among others. Is Justin Hagenman being groomed for a long man role? Then the guys talk about the Greenville Drive roster and how stacked their rotation could be especially once Yordanny Monegro returns from extended spring training. Luis Perales, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, Jedixson Paez and more are discussed. What can we expect from a prospect like Caden Rose? And of course there’s lots of Allan Castro talk. The guys then chat about the Salem roster, especially the incredibly jacked Miguel Bleis and how fun guys like Nazzan Zanetello, Antonio Anderson, Johanfran Garcia and more can be. Finally everyone makes their breakout picks for the year in the Red Sox minor league system.

MiLB Talk is back with 2024 season previews for your Worcester Red Sox (WooSox) and Portland Sea Dogs! Derrik, Hunter and Jake break down the projected rosters for the two high-minors Red Sox affiliates, which both have position players and pitchers we’re excited to watch this year. In Worcester, we consider a rotation headed by Cooper Criswell and Brandon Walter, and a much-improved bullpen and catching unit for 2024. How might these changes eventually impact the Major League club? What kind of year will Nick Yorke have at AAA? Jake has a bold prediction about David Hamilton, while Derrik talks up Cam Booser and Hunter is interested in where Christian Koss fits in. Then, the guys preview a 2024 Portland Sea Dogs team that could be one Red Sox fans look back on with reverence in future years. How many teams have we seen this loaded with top prospects? The crew talks big expectations for Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kyle Teel and try not to overlook the likes of Blaze Jordan, Eddinson Paulino, Chase Meidroth, Corey Rosier and others. They’re also impressed with the pitching staff with top arms Wikelman Gonzalez, Hunter Dobbins, Angel Bastardo, Christopher Troye, Alex Hoppe, CJ Liu and more. At both levels, the guys give their picks for Player of the Year, Pitcher of the Year and Breakout of the Year.

The MiLB crew is back and this week Derrik, Hunter and Jake are going deep on the first-ever Spring Breakout game featuring all of the Red Sox top prospects. The guys talked about the game format, what they liked about it and what they didn’t like. They looked at Wikelman Gonzalez’s start, how Richard “Dick” Fitts and Luis Guerrero pitched in relief. So much for the Red Sox not having any pitching prospects! The guys then talked about the position players, including the superlative games for Ceddanne Rafaela and Kyle Teel, plus the extremely advanced approaches of guys like Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer despite not filling up the box score. Nick Yorke is discussed; he had a great game, and should be getting more attention. Jake waxed poetic on Chase Meidroth, Derrik had his usual Allan Castro praise, Hunter brought up Miguel Bleis’ new physique, and the guys wrapped up by guessing who will be in the Red Sox lineup in next year’s Spring Breakout game.
