Don't want to jinx it, but Owens has been fantastic since the 1st inning. Very impressive start. No matter what, he should not go back to AAA this year. Let him take his lumps and learn.
I want to keep Blake and Christian because there's a good chance one of them will flame out eventually. Christian has a higher floor because of his defense, but Swihart could be a future All Star.
With these young guys, the development is more important than stats. Looks like Owens has 2 major league pitches. His control isn't quite there though.
Brian Johnson will be placed on DL due to elbow tightness. Evaluation coming today/tomorrow. Left Sunday's game after 4 IP, 60 pitches
f*** f*** f***ing f***. What the s*** 2015?!?
He sure built purrty baseball stadiums!
I just want one person in charge. Have JH decide the budget, but let a GM be able to spend it how he/she wants and manage all rosterdecisions. It seems obvious that there are either too many cooks or Ben doesn't have a clear methodology.
IF Porcello pitched well.
IF Panda hit and fielded to career norms.
IF Hanley put effort into playing LF.
IF Pedroia didn't get his annual lingering injury.
IF Napoli hit like 2013.
IF Masterson returned to form.
IF Miley pitched like it was 5 years ago.
@PeteAbe: Globe reported before spring training that Lucchino was being eased out. #RedSox denied it at time. But now Sam Kennedy to move up.
What dis SoxFanForsyth know and when did he know it?!?
Report is his contract was up at year end and they were worried about losing Sam Kennedy. Not sure it's indicative of larger changes to come (i.e. Werner stepping back).
