I'm trying to remember 2 players

[Soxfan1]

I went a sox game a few years ago. I think it was either 2001 or 2002 and I was in the bleachers with my dad. There were two players who I am trying to remember playing that night. One was a guy that came into pinch run and I think his first name was angel. I think I remember something about us trading him to Cleveland too.

 

The other guy had his first AB as a red sox player and he hit a HR. He reminded me of Ortiz for some reason.

 

Edit: And there was another guy a few years ago. He had like 40 hr's in the minors and he got called up to play for the sox. What ever happened to him?

Angel Santos is the first one.

 

Maybe Calvin Pickering is the second?

Anyone remember the last one?

Izzy Alacantara?

No I woulda remembered big kick Alcantra. He was a big dude and he had 40 HR's in the minors. They were raving about him.

I think you are thinking of Juan Diaz. Big Husky power hitter that never really did much. He was hyped up a little bit, but at the time he was really the best we had down there as our system was dismal.

 

Also could have been Dernell Stenson (RIP Big guy). He was another guy in our system who was hyped but was never very good.

 

Take a look at the Pawtucket team that year....what a pathetic group.....
