I hope they figure out a way to sign him, he’s a man child, like Shawn Kemp

“Red Sox 1st-rounder Jason Groome wants ‘top 5 money”
Man child status (whatever that is) notwithstanding, the Sox would have been better off passing on a kid with questionable makeup and a serious case of ego. Hey kid, you’re not a Top 5 selection, And do you know why you were not a Top 5 selection? Because you weren’t smart enough to maximize your talent by keeping your nose clean.
As much as I’d love the see the MFRS dig themselves another multi-million dollar hole with this kid, its getting to be time to stop allowing some potential talent to overcome the simple right thing to do.
And before you cry “well, you don’t know what he really did”, you’re exactly right. And nobody that knows is talking about it as someone pointed out earlier. And that is exactly why I think it must be pretty awful. Good luck Sox. LoL

Really? A Yankee fan is questioning the character of a player? Talk to me when you don’t have a wife beater as a closer. Don’t be salty that your team has not been and will not be relevant for the foreseeable future.
MB923
He shall respond the first second he sees this considering they don’t have a “wife beater as a closer”

And you can talk to me when you actually know what happened in Chapmans domestic abuse case which you obviously have no clue about

Refsnyder seems destined to get a chance to play, Anyone that even thinks about block him gets hurt.

Tough to say what issues anyone could have with a 17 year old’s makeup. Particularly when no one who knows or is willing to be specific with exactly what these issues are. He’s certainly not done maturing at any rate. Here’s hoping they can manage to sign him and it won’t just be a wasted pick.

Well, he did get kicked out of IMG Academy for marijuana use, which was why he ended up back in Barnegat. Details on that are murky however. The high school suspension for his senior year is nothing behavioral, just a nonsense NJ High School sports rule. Nothing any varsity player can do about that suspension if they decide to transfer at any point.

He didn’t get kicked out for marijuana use. He willingly left IMG because he was home sick. Which could actually be a bigger issue then marijuana because as a major leaguer he won’t be home at all really

He wanted to go back home and graduate with his friends and finish his senior year at Barnegat. He did not get kicked out of IMG!!!!
Kevin 23
What are you talking about? He left IMG willingly because he got home sick and that is the big knock against him in terms of maturity. Many teams did not feel that he was mature enough to play away from his home. Honestly I don’t know any 17 year old kids that are ready to be on their own.

Yankees may be feeling gun-shy (no inference intended) after having been burned badly by Slade Heathcott, a one-time prospect they just released who had major behavioral red flags in high school.

Yankees really have absolutely nothing to lose with calling up Swish. Give him a chance.

Lol ikr

Swisher isn’t on the 40 man roster. So, they would possibly have to DFA someone better.

Chris Parmalee had a higher fWAR in 6 games than Didi, Castro, Tex, Hicks, Ackely and Arod all season COMBINED !!!
Huge loss.
Ruben_Tomorrow 2
He was bound for Monument Park. So sad to see any harm done to Parm.
dwhitt3
That’s only cuz he hit in his what? 6 at bats?
Twinsfan79
Parmalee is a disappointing player. Just can not seem to put it all together.

Be thankful it was an injury that took Parmelee out before he could make you think he was the solution to your 1B problem. Last year the O’s thought they caught lightning in a bottle with him and he fizzled out very quickly. After 10 games with the O’s Parmelee was slashing .333/.385/.750 with a 1.135 OPS. But from games 11 to 32 he slashed .148/.175/.246 and posted a .421 OPS. He earned his DFA.

I don’t care what Tulo has done in the past.. I don’t want him back until he can learn how to hit again.
Barney and Goins are great defenders at ss, and younger.. Tulo may have amazing defense, but we have other players who are very good at defense as well. And so far, darwin barney, tulo’s replacement, has been doing great with the bat and made some all star caliber defensive plays.
