00:00let's uh dive into what the red socks got back from the giants i mean you've been doing this a

00:07while and so have i i i don't think that i've seen a trade with such little discussion as to

00:11the return i mean when mookie betts got traded it was you know like one guy we all thought oh

00:16this could be bad but is it fair to not even discuss james tibbs at all like i mean he's been

00:21pretty good and uh i mean look i'm not saying that they got back endeavors here rom but it

00:26seems like they didn't get nothing right it's so funny you mentioned that because even in our

00:31episode where we're breaking it down i'm like wait we got to talk about the players because yeah

00:35there's so many side shows that came with the trade going down that you almost forget that james tibbs

00:42not only was he you know a top 15 pick this is a guy that has played well out of the gate the biggest

00:49knock on him i think as an outfielder coming out of florida state was oh he might be a platoon guy

00:55right he really struggled left on left this year he has an ops of nearly a thousand against left

01:00handed pitching so to rectify that issue it's an ops in the mid 800s this year the exit velocities

01:06are plus he looks pretty good in the outfield he looks like a borderline top 100 prospect i think

01:11people just don't want to hear it especially on the boston side because that's just not enough for

01:15them to tolerate losing their their best hitter but i do think it's important to note that yeah

01:21they're getting some good pieces back here and james tibbs is a guy that i i would assume the

01:25red sox scouted pretty hard uh would have probably been thrilled to draft had braden montgomery not

01:30fallen into their lap um and and i think this is another good outfield piece to add to a really

01:35strong farm system
