Would like you guys reaction to this statement about McCarthy and Sox from FoxSports.com by sportswriter, Dayn Perry.
"He's one of the best pitching prospects in the minors, and after posting an incredible 6.7 strikeout-to-walk ratio across three levels last season, he's ready for competition at the highest level. The Sox, however, will need to be patient. I'm not sure the organization realizes they play in one of the best hitter's parks in the AL, and as such they tend to overvalue their hitters and undervalue some of their pitchers. In any event, McCarthy's shot will come at some point this season. Expect great things from him."
BTW - He was rated in top 10 prospects here.
