Alex Hassan: RHH AAA RF: anything there?

[Dojji]

In my ongoing quest to try to outguess the baseball gods, I stumbled onto this guy on the Pawtucket roster. Righthanded hitter, check. Good k/bb, check. Power? Mostly gap, but enough for bench service. Plays mostly right with a smattering of left, first and DH, suggesting we're not looking at a defensive wizard here.

 

Ayone know anything about this guy? With Nava still not producing from the right side, we're hurting for righties in the outfield, it'd be a shame to miss an option that's right here.

Local guy, good OBP, solid defensive OF. Could wind up being a 4th OF. Was injured to start the year.

[SeanJohn93]

He is from Milton and was selected in the rule 5 draft

[SeanJohn93]

he has not been mentioned in any callup opportunities.

[BigPapi]

Hes been sizzling lately. Hes up too friggin 339 with 14 doubles in 36 games.

Plus, being from quincy, it would be cool too have a kid who grew up as a red sox fan, like manny delcarmen.

[Standing Room]

Reminds me of Jonny Gomes, probably not anything more than a September call up.

[DirtDog]

His BABIP is out of this world, which kind of made his season look a little skewed/lucky. I bet he might crack the big leagues, but I doubt it here with all the outfield depth we have even if ellsbury leaves. (ex nava, jbj, gomes, carp, victorino, brentz even)

[mvp 78]

He sucks.

[seabeachfred]

He sucks.

 

He TOTALLY sucks!!!!!!! And those friends of ours who wrote glowingly about this being a local boy and all that.......shove it in their diddy bags. I remember that Manny Delcarmen was a "local" boy. I remember that our "great" closer Andrew(?) Bailey was a local boy---and now Hassan? The bum was hitting 217 when he was brought up. Did Cherington and Farrell actually think he could hit Major League pitching? Did they even think?
