Every position that bres-slow had less than adequate depth (catching, first base, bullpen) has had that lack of depth tested thus far.
meanwhile, most the places we are stacked to the rafters with option (outfield and middle infield) have experienced very little injury attrition.
starting pitching is the one area we had depth and than depth has been tested frequently due to injuries.
Mayer, sogard, Grissom Worcester
Romero, Liendo, erhard - Portland
arias, alcanterra, zanetello - Greenville
Things are clogging up on the development front for middle infielders
Arias is starting to get hot in Greenville. I really like his swing and eye at the plate. Still has a bit of rafeala in his swing though.
the surprise of the year so far for me is how much better Anderson is swinging the bat.
top of the lineup for Greenville has a lot of potential and should be fun to watch this summer.
Mayer went 1 for 1 with a walk against painter today.
Anthony went zero for 1 with a walk against painter.
The evidence that they are ready keeps growing
Anthony, Campbell Mayer and arias currently in the top 100! Who is the next red Sox prospect to join them????
Garcia?
anderson?
liendo?
will any of our pitchers crack the top 100?
Let me see if I have this right??
1.) little depth at catcher, Wong gets off to slow start and breaks finger. hello sabol??? Ouch!!!
2.) little depth at 1st base, Casas blows patella tendon. Hello Toto???? Ouch!!!!!
3.) little depth at closer, Red Sox lead the league in blown saves????? Ouch!!!!!!
4.) two of the best prospects in baseball sitting in Worcester who collectively have 40 plus RBI’s and we rank 28th in MLB in clutch hitting in Boston?????
