Who would you promote from Pawtucket today?

Since for some unknown reason the edit post option seems to be screwed up on me, I'll also mention that I think Alex Hassan could be a potential solution. He's not a great offensive player, but he's not a bad one either, tends to be a good OBP hitter in the minors, with a little power. it may happen, it may not. He's got the talent if he can put it all together.

Hassan had been terrible in Pawtucket this year though. 620 OPSing in AAA, yuck...

I meant that Boston is a major league city. Not a minor league city. In OTHER words, players don't come up to the big league team to LEARN the game and to DEVELOP.

 

It worked out ok in 2007 ... have to be strong with your player evaluations, even in Boston and give the kids you believe in the reps to prove it definitively.

Better start making the MVP trophies for him now.

LOL - no expectations for me. But when a guy has exploded through the system like he has - when a dude is conquering leagues he is young for, the eyebrow is raised.

He has looked over matched by big league pitching.
