I agree, and until Dalbec shows he can hit better than Hosmer, I'd prefer Hosmer.
-
Plus time from everyday AAA killers like Duran, Franchy, Refsnyder and not Wong, Almonte and Casas.

This might be our only chance to get close to .500: 3 v KCR day off 2 @ CIN Then, it get's tough: 3 @ NYY 4 v BAL 3 @ TOR 3 v TBR I don't expect a hot streak, but it would be nice to end the season on a high note, and maybe play spoiler to the Yanks or another division foe.

The DSL Blue Red Sox finished with the best DSL record at 44-16. The DSL Red team finished second in the division at 36-21 (3rd best overall.) The FCL Red Sox finished 35-20 (2nd in the division to the Rays team.) Salem finished 29-35 (4th out of 6 teams) in A - ball. Greenville had the worst record on the Sox farm at 26-38 (5th out of 6 in div.) In AA, Portland currently has the best record at 44-22 (4 games up on Bowie- BAL, Erie-DET and 6 up on Somerset-NYY.) Some very promising play by our AA prospects. Woo is currently in 6th place out of 10 , but has a winning record at 70-67. They are 4th in run diff at +45. Not a bad season for our AAA team.

If they do, and the SS is just to the LF side of the line, there will be an even bigger "stack" than before.
-
The shift only affects infielders, right? Will we see a LF'er line-up in just off the grass in RF vs some lefties? Guys like Kike could move in from CF to 2B/RF and Dugo could slide to CF.

I saved the elation of the Kavadas walk for you.
-
Potts with a 2 run dinger- his 13th. Abreu (HR) & Rafaela 1-2 Kavadas with a BB and run scored.

The MLBPA has been pushing for stainless steel robo umps.
-
Wait, what? There are robo posters? Then, what's the problem with robo umps?
-
Try saying something positive and watch the anti-Bloomers pounce..
-
Springs was so bad, for us, in limited time, but it appears Bloom made a good move getting him, but like Martin Perez, his timing was off. I never thought Mazza was a keeper. Add Andriese to the names of guys we replaced those two with.
-
Agon in RF? Bogey playing 3B after just 10 games in AAA at 3B- right in the middle of a playoff run? VMart to 1B? We've had guys like Holt and Lowrie play several positions without being very good at some of them.
-
True. So the Bloom major trade situation might read like this... Mazza & Springs for R Hernandez: Pending, but Spring has sprung to life, recently. Betts: forced and still pending (Dugo & Wong look like they will balance out one 60-game season of Betts) Beni: okay and still pending (Maybe de la Rosa comes through, years from now.) Ottavino & German: Good (May be great, if German comes through) Renfroe: Horrific Vaz for E Valdez & W Abreu is pending, but both prospects are looking fine. Diekman for McGuire: Pending but looks great, so far Groome for Hosmer, Ferguson & Rosier

Many games have been decided by bad calls. We might not even know a bad call in the 2nd inning could have changed a L into a win.
-
He does, but even his strength seems erratic. That throw last night was Ellsburyesque.
-
Agreed. He did make one good throw, the other day, and I guess that convinced some, he was okay in Fenway's RF.
-
Did you also see the weak one bounce throw by Dugo. It's like he threw it in slo-mo. No urgency displayed.
-
Some may be fool's gold.
-
IMO, the problem is that it is way more than one or two bad calls (per game,) and that is something we have tolerated, because there was never an easy solution. Now, there is.
-
"Have" is different from "will."
-
The Yankee farm is top heavy. I stand by my comment.
-
For sure. A wide majority of calls are right, and the vast majority of easy calls are correctly called balls or strikes. It's rare that a ball thrown right down the middle is called a ball, or a ball in the dirt is called a strike, but that does happen. It's the borderline calls that are called incorrectly, too many times. Some umps continuously get the same calls wrong, every game, and teams are forced to adjust to him. Most umps can't even see the whole K zone 3-D prism and are forced to project where they think a ball thrown 95 mph went. It's an impossible thing to ask an ump to do correctly. Give the guys a break. Make their jobs easier to do. They can then concentrate on other things they need to call- like did the batter swing or not, did the batter get HBP or is the runner safe or out at home.

I think it's great how Bobe2 never repeats himself and always presents fresh and insightful posts, while never endlessly using stats or data- or facts, for that matter.
