only a couple 21 and even 22 year olds. 20 is just ridiculous

 

Only 1 position player younger than Bogaerts in AA, and he's only 16 days younger, and he's posting a .561 OPS.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Showers starting in Pawtucket tonight at 9, so Bogaerts should get 1-2 PA tonight.

 

Hope he goes deep in his first AB. I'm almost certain he did that in Portland.

[Rdsxmbnt]

Monster outing for Ranuado: 7.2 IP, 2 hits, 0 ER, 2 BB, 13 K

 

67.0 IP, 41 hits, 21 BB, 76 K, 2.15 ERA on the season

[User Name]

Joining the ranks of second-half reinforcements for the Red Sox imo

[Rdsxmbnt]

Webster 6 IP, 1 hit, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

 

Xander 1/2 with a BB

[Standing Room]

Webster 6 IP, 1 hit, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

 

Xander 1/2 with a BB

 

Also stole a base and scored the winning run.

[redsoxfan3]

Definitely excited about the talent we have in AAA.

 

Bradley is hitting .320 with a .914 OPS in 25 games this year.

Brentz has 13 HR's and 48 RBI's in 59 games this year.

Obviously watching Bogaerts will be fun.

Hazelbaker is hitting .281/.346/.419/.765 with 6 HR's, 30 RBI's, and 16 SB's.

Webster has a 2.98 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP in 51.1 innings and 10 starts.

De La Rosa has a 3.29 ERA and 1.17 WHIP in 38.1 innings and 11 starts.

[Station 13]

RDLR 6IP 1H 0BB 7K

 

nice to see he is pitching over 5 inning.

[a700hitter]

RDLR 6IP 1H 0BB 7K

They should give him the next spot start instead of Webster. Webster has not earned another start.

[Station 13]

Where was Aceves?

[SoxFanForsyth]

They should give him the next spot start instead of Webster. Webster has not earned another start.

 

I agree, I think he will get the next start.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Farrell said Webster is still in line for his next start on Saturday vs TOR.

 

I guess 21 swing and misses will do that.

[Standing Room]

Bradley's hitting .309/.407/.511 in AAA. Here's his home run last night.

And here's a Bogaerts web gem from last night.

 

http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?content_id=28337137&sid=milb

[Standing Room]

5 IP , 6 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K for Rubby

 

He has a 0.75 ERA in his last 11 starts and a 2.30 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and more than a strikeout an inning overall.

[Rdsxmbnt]

ended up going another 0.2 IP and got a K, good to see him not walking people, and going deeper into games

[Station 13]

Cecchini hit his first AA HR on a 3-4 night. He is hitting .366 for Portland.

[Standing Room]

Denney played in his first professional game for the CGL Sox. He went 1-for-3 with an RBI and stole home.

[Station 13]

Mookie Bettts

 

.293/.417/.479

 

He has really put himself on the radar this season. More walks than strikeouts.

[rjortiz]

Bogaerts went 2/3 with a walk to raise his OPS to .755. Bradley Jr. 1/2 with 3 walks.

 

Cecchini 3/4 with a double. Hitting .412 in AA ball.

Midseason ranking

 

4. Xander Bogaerts

21. Jackie Bradley

37. Anthony Ranuado

41. Garin Cecchini

Why are they shock at Cecchini numbers? Did they forget his 2012? He was left off everyone's top 100 entering 2013.

Klaw ranked him as a top 25 prospect in his mid season top 25 earlier this year.

[Station 13]

Yeah, but he was left off a lot of pre-season ranking.

[mvp 78]

Is Webster left off for MLB appearances? If so, how many appearances would JBJ need to be left off next go around?

[Rdsxmbnt]

Nice start for Owens today: 6.0 IP, 0 hits, 0 ER, 4 BB, 10 K

[SoxFanForsyth]

On Keith Law's midseason top 50, he's got Bogaerts (3), Cecchini (20), Bradley (24), and Owens (31).

 

He's also got Swihart as an honorable mention.

 

Four prospects in the top 31 is outstanding.

Matt Barnes having down year in minors

 

It's been a rough year for Red Sox starting pitching prospect Matt Barnes. The 2011 first-round pick (19th overall) is 4-6 with a 5.22 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and .284 opponents' batting average in 17 starts for Double-A Portland.

 

Barnes has had only one outstanding month in 2013, when he went 2-0 with a 2.65 ERA in six May starts. Otherwise, he went 1-1 with a 9.00 ERA in four April starts, 1-3 with a 6.86 ERA in five June starts and is 0-2 with a 6.00 ERA in two July starts.

 

One of the few bright spots for Barnes this year has been his strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has struck out 88 batters and walked 28 in 70 2/3 innings. Barnes is considered a top-100 prospect by MLB.com (No. 38) and Baseball America (No. 40).

He's in the top hundred, but his progression has hit a big road bump.

White Sox release Lars Anderson

 

The White Sox parted ways with first baseman Lars Anderson, according to the Chicago Tribune. Anderson joined the White Sox at the end of spring training. He batted .194 in 266 plate appearances at Triple-A Charlotte.

It looks like Lars has come to the end of the road.

[jacksonianmarch]

He is running out of time to be a 20 time all star
