  1. CIN is the best MLB park for LHB to hit dingers. Maybe he can get going here?
  2. Half of a year of Alonso should be reasonable. Aside from Sandlin, I don't think I'd give up a top 10 prospect in a trade for him.
  3. For a 4th starter? Sure.
  4. Platooning them already???
  5. I want a full 26 man roster turnover every 12 months with this current squad, but will settle for Bello wearing a different uniform next season.
  6. I can't imagine Wikelman's value is still that high after this year.
  7. Dude is lapping each and everyone of us every year.
  8. From his scouting report: Needs to improve pitch recognition, especially against breaking balls. Some questions about how his contact skills will translate against more advanced pitching. It's not a surprise that he's now struggling with a split. GRE 23: 37.5 k% vs LHP, 20.0 k% vs RHP SAL 22: 34.8 k% vs LHP, 23.9 k% vs RHP
  9. I'd keep him down in Greenville for a while. He hasn't had any success while being in the organization. Let him enjoy it for away and get his confidence back before he has to take the next jump. Going to AA is arguably the toughest leap in MiLB.
  10. The 14 exclamation points were a dead giveaway IMO.
  11. I know. It's a bad idea. Catchers need rest days. Wong is more productive because he can sit on the bench.
  12. Real baseball died the day the high five was created. Can't even take a family to see a kids game anymore!
  13. Buddy have I got some bad news for you. According to the National Weather Service, the summer solstice will occur on Thursday at 4:51 p.m. Eastern time. We had a work happy hour to celebrate it.
  14. Wong should be a 162 guy. If he's not catching, he should be at DH or 2b!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  15. Maybe? We'll have to see how he's worked into the lineup going forward.
  16. His swing decisions are fine, but he has a looking strike % of 33.1% which is 3rd highest on the team and only behind Reyes and Westbrook. On percentage of pitches swung at, only Westbrook is less. I think he's just too passive of a hitter. He doesn't strike out, doesn't walk, he pounds the ball into the ground, but isn't a speed guy. If he's not lifting the ball, he's kind of useless IMO.
  17. It seems obvious now, but they rushed him before. Hard to read the tea leaves around here. With Yoshida, they've plopped him on the bench for days and days and just ignored him at times. They just may do it again. I don't think it's the smart thing to do, but they may go that route.
  18. He was the most valuable MLB guy not named Casas or Bello. Teams want MLB ready players and the Sox didn't have a lot to offer. Also, it would still make sense in the right trade. I don't think anyone is untouchable.
  19. People may still get their wish in the next few years. At some point, one of these guys is going to get crowded out somehow.
  20. What he needs to work on is the defense. That's what isn't showing up on the boxscore.
  21. There is a HUGE difference in competition as you climb the ladder. If he's struggling against LHP in AA, you can't just write it off as SSS.
  22. @brendan_camp Juan Valera today for the FCL Red Sox: 4 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K Retired 11 of the 15 batters he faced and lowered his ERA on the season to 2.31 over 21 1/3 innings. Opponents are batting just .143 against him.
  23. @mlbinjuryguru Aaron Boone said today that Dominguez will be out at least 8 weeks....
  24. I think we are getting closer to a Mayer and Teel promotion to AAA in the next few weeks. Anthony may trail little bit behind, but should still be promoted this season. I don't think we see any of them this year in BOS. Mayer has an outside chance if he keeps hitting and the Sox see the production dip in MIF, but the team is still in it.
