Arizona Fall League

[mtm1980]

I know I'm a bit ahead of myself her but, has anyone been down to Phoenix to watch the fall league? Was it a good time? Good baseball? I know alot of those guys will be in the majors in no time so I imagine the quality of play is pretty high.

 

On a side note, does anyone know who the Sox may send down to play this year?

Barry Hertzler, Kyle Jackson, David Pauley, Dusty Brown, Jacoby Ellsbury, Chad Spann

It's a hitters league because teams will not send their top of the line pitching prospects.

[mtm1980]

Awsome thanks. Did you go?

ya mean Pedroia could get some hits there, too?

[riverside sluggers]

Pedroia is 5 for his last 17 (.294 avg), and 3 of those hits have gone for extra bases. Yeah his clutch 2 out (game-tying) RBI double was a waste seeing, huh? Its not like this kid just started in the majors, oh wait he has

 

Complaining about a rookie's stats in his debut is just plain laughable

Sorry, didn't expect such touchiness...it was a joke. was that not obvious?

[riverside sluggers]

Its not touchiness, considering how I see you regard Wily Mo Pena... I wasnt out of base by assuming that you actualkly think that the kid cant hit the way he will once he adjusts to major league pitching. Just now he is putting together a nice streak

 

Now throw in names like Ken Huckaby, Gabe Kapler, or Willie Harris, then I'll join in with you for a hearty laugh.

I try not to even mention Kaplers name...damn I'm tired of him kicking around.

 

As for Wily Mo, I really don't have an issue with him per se...and I've noted that I am pulling for him to become the star they expect him to be. However, as you know, I didn't like the trade, based solely upon the merits of the trade at the time it was made...in other words, this is 2006 and the 2006 Sox were damaged by this trade, IMO...but that's old news.
