Probably. That's why I find it hard to be harsh on Brez, when my ideas mostly flopped.
(I think the same is true for those who wanted Alonso & Breggie, but it's all still TBD.)

In all fairness, wasn't this based on someone from the organization wondering why DHam was so much improved after leaving the Sox?
That does seem noteworthy, but IMO, he's not improved.
The season started with Bennett, Tolle & Early in AAA. (soxprospects had Bennett starting at AA on their projection charts in January.)
Now Eyanson is jumping up to AA.
Maybe Holobetz or Mullins goes up to WOO next? Woo is kinda short on SP'ers, right now.
Story up 4th is idiocy. I realize none of the 5 through 9 batter look like good choices, but Story (4th) and Durbin (7th) are the worst batters on the team, next to IKF (9th tonight.)
Paredes now has a .362 OBP and a .760 OPS.
His 3 HRs and 6 2Bs are low, but he's a much better batter than Durbin, Mayer, Monasterio & IKF.
I still can't believe HOU would have or did said no to Duran for him.
