    I agree with this. It's kind of hard to see where they are going with Paxton. A few months ago, I suggested that things could get very weird this season. We are now witnessing it. If Houck didn't succeed in the rotation, Bello would still be up. It's not a bad problem to have though. I think we may see a phantom DL spot for Sale/Kluber. Maybe poor performance moves someone to the pen? Paxton DFA?

    Is he treating these appearances like Spring Training outings and just "working on stuff?"
  3. mvp 78
    He had 2 below average starts. I don't think him being sent to AAA is the end of the world here. They are going to run Kluber out there every 5 days at least through the ASB unless he gets injured. I think they are stuck with Sale for the whole season. They aren't going to take Whitlock or Houck out of the rotation right now. Would they really move Pivetta out of the rotation if Bello can't go 5 innings? It's Pivetta/Houck vs Bello. Pivetta provides innings and gives the overused bullpen a little break. Houck has been arguably the best Sox starter this season. Why take him out of the rotation for Bello? I'm not sure Bello would be better than what Houck is currently doing.

    Drohan is really on a roll this year. Wonder how long they keep him in AA? Wait until a midseason callup to give him the AS recognition?
  5. mvp 78
    They thought he was ready? The rotation was in rough shape and needed his help. Now he's back in AAA for another 10 days before he can be called up again.

    @SoxProspects Ryan Fernandez allows a lead off single then strikes out the side in his return to Double-A. One of the other pure relief options in AA.

    Wasn't fair of DFArroyo to pull a gun on Cora like that, but...

    Coco Crisp impression. Heard Masa is a terrible defender.

    @SoxProspects Two perfect innings for Jacob Webb out of the bullpen today. The 24-year-old righty has a 1.74 ERA over 10.1 innings with 11 strikeouts to five walks at Double-A this season. Webb was one of the long shot 40 man roster guys last November. I wonder if he'll pop this year. Probably makes AAA soon at this rate.
  10. mvp 78
    I'm not swayed by his hot start. The Sox aren't either. They haven't called him up yet. Valdez is the one up right now.
  11. mvp 78
    They knew. That's how they got him at a "discount."

    MiLB Stats: Bello 1 G, 6 Inn, 4 K, 0 BB, 1.50 ERA, 0.67 WHIP Paxton 4 G, 11.1 Inn, 14 K, 10 BB, 10.32 ERA, 2.12 WHIP

    Bello looked great in his start. Paxton has looked pretty terrible.
  14. mvp 78
    I wouldn't have put him on the 40 man. I have the same question. I'm not sure Chang is really a great depth option at SS long term. When Story goes down, the Sox were left with Kiké/Arroyo/MondesIL/Chang/Valdez as the "viable" options. That's got to be bottom 5 in the league for middle IF once you exclude Story.

    It was a safe assumption McGuire was known as a good catcher and he had hit well with the Sox. Wong was a career MiLBer and wasn't even assured a roster spot. Sox brass liked Wong's receiving skills, but it would have been a big leap to assume that he'd win a starter's role in early April. There were people on here hoping for a McGuire/Alfaro rotation during ST!

    @alexspeier Red Sox will have RHP Chris Martin make a rehab appearance Thursday in Worcester, with hopes that he’ll be activated this weekend. James Paxton will make another start for the WooSox on Sunday. My guess is Bernardino would be sent down to WOO for Martin. Ort for Paxton when ready in early May?
  17. mvp 78
    Catcher configuration matters. Strictly deciding who the best catcher is by looking at CERA makes no sense.
  18. mvp 78
    I also knew that going into the season without a good SS/2B or decent SP options wasn't a great idea, but Chaim did it anyway.
  19. mvp 78
    El Paso is also one of the more hitter friendly stadiums in PCL which is a hitter friendly league. Maybe he's hoping for a stat bump that could get him a call up somewhere else?
  20. mvp 78
    Reese McGuirabelli.
  21. mvp 78
    If Reese can have good rapport with 2 pitchers, that'd be ideal for a platoon with Wong.
  22. mvp 78
    Ort ERA 7.30 Ort xFIP 6.16 He's actually been a little bit unlucky. Maybe you need to give him another chance! Whiff Bottom 2%
  23. mvp 78
    My guess is Iglesias has another opt out built into the new contract and he really likes the El Paso Chihuahuas uni.
  24. mvp 78
    He's the garbage time guy, but he needs to be at least competent enough to not force your closer to come in when you have more than a 5 run lead. Ort has options and will be the first sent to WOO once the next relief guy gets healthy.
