Hernandez = .330 with 3 more hits last night.
-
In terms of the hype and all of the build up i would agree with that. It still probably might depend on what you are looking for in a player and what your team needs are. Potential outfielder vs potential shortstop. Many of our prospects fall into a long line of "we think that they are going to be better than they ever become" category. I'd like to see Margot become what everybody thinks that he might. For now Margot
-
I didn't and i don't. Personally i don't think Shaw should have ever seen the field. It just was an interesting move that i am surprised did not bring out the Farrell critics. If those games had been losses he would have caught the fire once again.
-
And along with Margot you got two might be good enoughs someday.

Hey - i think this has gotten a little over thought. Winning is good but it is still strange when you bench a player for not be able to hit, replace him with a player who gets three hits and then you bench him. Getting De Aza in the lineup makes sense but thinking that Ortiz is going to be playing first base regularly at his age, injury history, and fitness level is ridiculous. The point i was kind of trying to make was that in a given week we could see any number of what might seem like strange moves coming from John Farrell. I'm very happy that they are winning. i will be more direct next time. That being said, i am not one of the vast majority of people on this board who have been crapping all over Farrell and his staff.
-
The question really was - Why was he not in the lineup the second night after getting the 3 hits? I don't think he provides an answer to any questions this team has but it is still a strange way to use your players. I really don't worry too much about the future of Travis Shaw. It was at least good to see him at first base as opposed to another position that he has seldom if ever played.
-
There is no questioning that he is just a step above adequate. Why was he in the lineup last night? It is an odd way to use players.
-
Very true. My point was and is that for every Margot that we have heard so much about there is a good chance that there is and will be someone else that comes along who will be every bit as good. Hernandez is an example of a potentially good major league ss who is having a very good year at the AA level. He is an All-Star and we have "fans" here who claim to know something about the Red Sox younger players but yet have literally never heard of this kid. Go figure. I'm not sure that I will live long enough to see either of these two in Red Sox uniforms.
-
Are you saying that ortiz is starting at first as in tonight? Shaw gets last night's start, gets 3 hits and sits?
-
The term "rake" doesn't do the Sox teams in that era justice. How good were they top to bottom!
-
i like Cueto but only with the extension. The Sox have plenty to deal with. Hernandez(22) is an all-star AA shortstop- Margot gets your attention but when will he see boston and what becomes of Brian Johnson - . Lots of possibilities here.
-
If you have never heard of Hernandez, then you don't follow them. What do you really know about Margot? he comes with a lot of hype. Hope that he can live up to it. Most don't. I'm not a big hernandez fan but anyone hitting over .300 in double A qualifies as lighting it up.
-
Who is Hernandez? A 22 year old ss from the Dominican. He is and has been the Seadog's best player all year. Margot and Hernandez both have as good a chance of being traded as they do of playing in Fenway.
-
Not bad indeed
-
all star
-
I just want to know if the DR is worth a trip - never been there. Been close but not there.
-
Don't hold your breath- maybe maybe not. Hernandez is hitting .313 but i would be surprised if he ever sees Fenway Park.
-
Wait - where did you say that tat was?
-
i agree.
-
What's up with you? Now I'm confused. You sneaking over to the dark side just doesn't seem right.
-
I understand where you are coming from, I am just not as nice. He is 28 and represents to me another signing to appease the fan base which includes me. I am not as excited as I once was about the signings of foreign prospects or potential stars - call them what you want.
-
i think that you can add numb to Spud's above list. Our old saying was "Are you stupid or are you just uncoachable?" Stupid we could live with uncoachable we couldn't. I don't know which applies to Castillo but from the looks of things they already have numb covered on the current roster. I don't think they need to add him to the list again. Package him up in a trade and send him on his way. Good thing the Red Sox have no budgetary restrictions.
-
Johnson pitched well this afternoon. i would love to see any of the following 3 get a chance before giving the ball back to Joe Kelly. Johnson - Wright - Owens.
-
Brian Johnson selected for the IL All Star Team. Strange that nothing has been seen of him for awhile now.
-
On second thought, not that strong for Owens last night. Not good but not bad either.
