Hansen. 5 IP 6 H 3 R 3 ER 3 BB 10 SO

Very interesting to watch. Love Willie Harris btw. Did not know Basabe's english was that good.

Hansen starting to rack up the strikeouts now. Basabe really struggling right now.

QUOTE (SouthSide2004 @ May 22, 2017 -> 06:50 PM) A bunch of those Kannapolis hitters should be in high A. I think a couple of them will be promoted when the second half of the minor league season starts or after the draft when guys usually move around.

Rodon lives!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 22, 2017 -> 04:07 PM) Would the Brewers trade Thames for Avi, and vice versa? Both essentially have three year deals, including 2017. $15 million/3 years is cheaper than we'll end up paying Avi. Thames is already 30 but LH. Which one is more likely to have "figured things out?" Already subject of PEDs rumors from the Cubs. Who else are we getting back since Avi is 5 years younger?

Gonna be cool to see these kids off the field personalities. I heard Burdi and Collins are quite funny.

QUOTE (Sox-35th @ May 22, 2017 -> 03:02 PM) As someone with an ethnic last name and an english first name, I no longer care. I don't care if he calls himself Poopdick McFartington if he can hit. Same. I have ethnic first and last name and am of half Mexican descent so I'll probably be pronouncing it the Spanish way, but say it in English to my sox buddies.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:44 PM) Borchard wasn't a base stealing threat, but I seem to remember that he did have good foot speed, much like Avi. Perhaps I'm mistaken. Wasn't he signed as a center fielder? He was, but played only about 120 more games there in the minors than in RF. He wasn't exactly elite out there either. Hawk's comments about Avi are asinine. Mike Cameron was more of a 5 tool player than Avi and he had a questionable hit tool.

QUOTE (Lillian @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:29 PM) He forgot to mention Joe Borchard, but that was another one, whom I sure that he would include in that group. Eh.. Borchard was never a speedster/base stealer at any point as a prospect.

QUOTE (iamshack @ May 21, 2017 -> 07:22 PM) I think he meant a prospect. Not to mention a guy who wasn't way past his prime.

Holland starting to rack up the pity strikeouts now.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 21, 2017 -> 05:02 PM) I think we just killed the M's season...without Cano, they are pretty punchless. Well him, King Felix and like 3 of their other starting pitchers. Amazing to me they were only 4 games under .500 before this game.

Abreu should've let Sanchez have that one.

Atta boy Davidson.

Kanny facing old Sox draft pick Matt Ball, whose actually having a good year out of the pen. He's starting today.

Red Sox are scouting him.

Sox are actually starting to get some guys who can throw the leather. Sanchez, Anderson (started off bad, but is improving), Frazier are very good in the infield (minus Abreu although he's gotten a bit better in scooping up low throws). Leury has been solid, minus the occasional blimp, Avi has been passable, Melky is still bad but he's in LF, etc.

Timmy!

Yolmer showing that elite range. 10 game hitting streak for him as well.

Delmonico just went yard again. 2 homers on the day.

It's definitely top heavy, but these next 2 drafts should help solidify the quantity of the farm after the big boys (Moncada, Lopez, etc.) graduate. This is also not counting the potential trades of players on the current roster. In other words, Rick Hahn has a pretty sweet deck of cards he's sitting on. It's up to him and the scouts to make sure it's a winning hand.

Sox get Robert, young guys had great games, and they pound the Mariners... might be the best 24 hours we've had in years as sox fans.

Their position player pitched better than their other 2 pitchers.
