4/27 vs Atlanta Baseball Team

[Jasonbay44]

The Sox defense has been very good tonight

[wyo-sox]

Shaw can play some defense...

The Sox defense has been very good tonight

 

They have been very good all year. The surprises in the field are Shaw and Hanley. The rest of the guys are all plus defenders.

[GoSox2016]

Looks like we made right move benching Sandoval and Castillo immediately, instead of letting them scrub it up in the starting lineup.

[wyo-sox]

Shaw is such a great example of how to seize an opportunity, ignore conventional wisdom, and succeed.

[SoxHop]

If I don't see Ogando this series I will want my money back.

[a700hitter]

Travis Shaw is a monster.

Panic move.

[Thunder]

We've gotta be near the top of the AL, if not the league, in fielding pct.

[a700hitter]

Wright is quickly becoming my favorite knuckleball pitcher since 1995 Tim Wakefield.

[a700hitter]

Why is Betts out of the game?

[Thunder]

Wright is quickly becoming my favorite knuckleball pitcher since 1995 Tim Wakefield.

 

Shaw is quickly becoming my favorite Sox 3rd baseman since Mike Lowell.

[Jasonbay44]

Hell of a performance by Wright once again

[NativeBostonian]

Who would have thought Wright would be the ace of the staff.

[Jasonbay44]

I wish we could play the Braves all season.

Its gotta really suck to be a Braves fan. What happened to this franchise?

And they will be getting a new ballpark.

[Kimmi]

Did you see that clip of Chipper Jones, Kimmi?

 

I did not.

 

I'll have to go back and look for it later.

[Jasonbay44]

How do you give up a home run to a Braves player!?!?

[Youk Of The Nation]

The Braves now have one more HR than Andrew McCutchen hit in one game yesterday.

[sk7326]

How do you give up a home run to a Braves player!?!?

 

to be fair, Freeman is the only guy on the team that can actually hit

[FredLynn]

How do you give up a home run to a Braves player!?!?

 

At this rate they are on a pace to hit about 30 HRs for the year.

[wyo-sox]

I may try to walk on the Braves roster.

A rebuild. And one of the worst local TV deals in the country. One of the top farm systems - hope if the kids will start to be ready to arrive when the team is successfully moved to the burbs.

According to BaseballAmerica the Braves are #15 in 2015 minor league rankings. Guess who is #2....

Rankings from milb.com, as of March 21st, 2016.

 

Braves' farm system ranks second, BoSox 6th.

Mea culpa. Here is the updated one. The Braves fared much better; we are still #4, just behind the Braves.

Yeah, I think they moved way up for 2016 - #3 behind the Dodgers and Astros. Red Sox are #4. They're #1 in Keith Law's team ranks (Red Sox #10).

As Usename said, my original link was outdated. Interesting that the Cubs have dropped to #20. Guess their prospects are all up in the bigs now.
