  1. Hunter Jones back to Pawtucket Justin Masterson back to the bullpen Clay Buchholz to the MLB rotation
  2. Clay Buchholz: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 8 K ..... Between Bard, Buchholz, and Bowden we have some serious fire power in the AAA system.
  3. Josh Beckett is about to give this up....yeah ACE!!
  4. I was gonna say that breaking ball was exactly the same place as the strike-3 call on Pedroia.
  5. Look at the huge crowd standing for Joba....what a pathetic sight
  6. Umpire is taking the bats out of the Red Sox hands...hate games like this...not much you can do as a hitter
  7. Beckett is going to nail someone.....Jeter? Damon? Teixiera?
  8. I wonder how many strike-three calls have been made not in the Amica Pitch Zone. That one against Pedroia was hysterical.
  9. I couldn't believe when I read this... http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/baseball/yankees/2009/05/04/2009-05-04_yankees_fans_told_game_cancelled_not_let_back_into_stadium_.html That's rough, especially the group spending $800 and nothing to show for it.
  10. Another strong outing from Clay Buchholz.... 5.1 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K
  11. Nice return for Clay Buchholz 6 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 7 K
  12. Another excellent start from Casey Kelly 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 K
  13. To go along with Casey Kelly...Caleb Clay who we drafted in the 1st round in 2006 has returned from injury and has posted 8 innings without giving up a run. 8 IP, 6 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 6 K
  14. Josh Reddick just hit his 4th HR. Tazawa is also cruising and Lars has a double.....I like what I see from AA
  15. Nice start for Daniel Bard: 2 innings, 0 hits, 0 walks, 4 K
  16. Yikes I don't think much of this response because you are contradicting the hell out of yourself. Justin Masterson had a 1.70 K/BB ratio last season at the MLB level and you are preaching control. Daniel Bard had a better K/BB ratio than Masterson in AA. Which is it? Masterson got the jump to the MLB level but thats because Bard was still discovering himself in A-ball the year before and needed more time. Just because you are the fastest to reach the MLB level does not necessarily mean you will be the better player in the long run. Is there such a thing as a generic 100 mph fastball?
  17. True its spring training but that being said his performance is what has spawned this thread to pick up steam and writers commenting on his performance. His stat line from what I found: 7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 10 K, 0.00 ERA Daniel Bard was drafted over Justin Masterson in 2006 and although Masterson developed faster and has had more success to this point at the MLB level, Bard has the higher ceiling. Just for comparison last season in AA: Masterson = 41.0 IP / 2.31 K/BB / 4.23 ERA Bard = 49.2 IP / 2.46 K/BB / 1.99 ERA
  18. My comparison was based on pitch type and velocity. Not stats since Bard has never pitched in the big leagues. Once that begins we can make a comparison based on stats.
  19. I'd say a better comparison for Daniel Bard is Joba Chamberlain, Bobby Jenks, Joel Zumaya. High velocity fastball that could touch 100 and a breaking ball (call it a curve or slider) but not much else. Durability and consistency become the biggest questions with these guys. Luckily for Bard he throws with an effortless motion which leads me to believe there isn't as much strain. His breaking ball has come a long ways but is probably only good for an inning or so. He was deffinitly built for the bullpen and should be a hell of a setup man for the Red Sox when his time comes. Stay healthy and be around the plate....thats what made Rivera, Hoffman, and so far Papelbon so dominant.
