But we struggle mightily to develop homegrown pitchers! And since teams keep quality healthy pitchers, and Hang’em Chaim does not draft quality pitchers early. That only leaves the retreads for Hang’em Chaim.
-
Injuries have been insane this year. We need to revamp the entire medical/training staff.
-
Hamilton with 65 stolen bases this season thus far!
-
At Portland we have a monumental accomplishment………. I can not remember the last time this has happened last in Red Sox minor league history ……… but Kavadas got his 100th walk of the season today. The Red Sox have a guy, who is a single season, rose 3 levels, got 25 taters and 100 walks. Absolutely amazing!! And yet, if I had to vote for Red Sox minor league player of the year, he would lose to Rafeala and rafeala’s amazing 20 taters and 20 steal season, as well as quite a few spectacular defensive plays!
-
At Portland, Hamilton with his 12th tater of the season.
-
At Salem, meidroth with his 4th tater of the season!
-
Fitzgerald with his 16th tater of the season,
-
At Portland dearden with his 6th tater of the season and Wilson with his 12th tater of the season.
-
Mayer with his 4th Greenville tater of the season!
-
Duran with his 4th Worcester tater of the season. Mieses with his 8th tater of the season.
-
Binelas and Wilson with their 11th Portland taters in the season!
-
Even though Greenville bats went dead, winkleman threw an awesome game today.
-
Dalbec with his first Worcester tater of the season. Seabold threw with another spectacular game today.
-
Kavadas with a walk today. Now at 99 on the season.
-
Yorke with his 11th tater of the season.
-
What do we do with story?
-
Could bogey be bluffing on the opt out given his lack of power?
-
what hang’em Chaim does this offseason for the 2023 season at short stop has consequences down the road. How he solves this dilemma will have a huge impact on our organization for years to come. I’m not sure moving athletes to other positions or trying to work a trade is an ideal or practical solution. But the other side of the coin is there is no guarantee that Mayer ever develops into a major leaguer.

What free agent starting pitcher(s) does Hang’em Chaim sign this offseason? 2023 starters Sale - bruises easier than a banana. Pivetta - mediocre at best Bello - future star. How long until he puts it all together? Crawford - when he is healthy and has command and control, he is good. But when he doesn’t, it gets ugly! Winkowski - no margin for error as his stuff is ordinary. Seabold - not an mlb starting pitcher, but could really excel in the bullpen. Mata - electric stuff, but needs more seasoning at Worcester next season. We need two free agent starters. Should we sign two of wacha, eovaldi, manea, syndergard, odorizzi?
-
Any chance eovaldi gets back soon?
-
For 2023, we have a dilemma at shortstop! Mayer is on the way, but still 2 years away! If bogey stays through the end of his contract, this seems like a perfect handoff. Bogey’s contract expires and Mayer takes over. However, if we have to add years to bogey’s deal or go out and sign a replacement for 5 years this could change things greatly. Hang’em Chaim needs to figure this all out, while hopefully learning how to draft pitchers early and how to build a real bullpen.
-
I expect hickey, binelas and Kavadas to start next year in Portland. I hope Rafeala and Koss start next year in Worcester.
-
Koss with his 16th tater of the season.
-
Rafeala with his 11th Portland tater of the season. I believe that makes him the first 20-20 Red Sox prospect if the season!

Five popular ways to acquire talented pitchers: 1.) the draft - not really Hang’em Chaim’s thing early in the draft! 2.) international signing - not really Hang’em Chaim’s thing to sign top 20 internationally ranked pitchers! 3.) trades - vastly underutilized by Hang’em Chaim. 4.) free agent signings - Hang’em Chaim seems to shop for Kia pitchers and routinely passes on Bugatti pitchers. 5.) rule 5 draft - Hang’em Chaim got a hit on this! As you can see Hang’em Chaim is his own worst enemy when it comes to acquiring pitching!
