southsider2k5 Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 01:50 AM) Damn. Liked what I saw from him. Funny how much has changed in three weeks. He'd have a real shot at a job with the Sox now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey played for the Barons in 2006. He might play here again in 2012. He's spent most of his career at AA, he split time between AAA and AA for the Dodgers last year.

Good guy. Looking over Birmingham's stats, he did have a pretty awful year, no surprise the Sox cut him. But I have to wonder, what are they thinking with Nevin Griffith? He averaged 8 BB/9 and walked more than he struck out. He was far worse. I know he's only 22, but still. Isn't that beyond helping at this point?

I'm not so sure they're wrong to be dismissing him. They may not be...but with the way the Sox farm system is, and the failure of key guys in the IF to develop (Hi Gordon), it sure seems to make sense to push him upwards to see if he can keep doing damage. That's the opposite of what the sox did last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to get him to clarify if he meant someone had surgery, or just a statement on last minute changes. I believe he meant he has to rejigger his list now due to some sort of last minute revelation(s). Edit: I wonder if it has anything to do with Mitchell. He did tweet me in the fall an emphatic "NO" when I asked if I should give up on Mitchell yet. KG does love his toolsy prospects.
