Unless you're advocating the sox leaving them (mostly just kopech) in the minors to start next year (which some have), theres no difference in bringing them up end of june vs september

I think its just speculation based on Cano being out 80 games

Yeah, I think we are at a point where we should be happy if we get 1 starter and 1 reliever out of those 3.

Scoreboard Stephens first start at AAA, starts at 930 central Clarkin goes for Birm, starts at 11AM central Banks starts for WS tonight Kanny off

bullpen imploded and kanny lost 14-12. Now 25-13 overall. Good day for the offense though.

I'm guessing the injury wasn't too bad, since he did play a game after that slide into third. But they had 3 off days during this 10 day DL and it makes sense to be careful with him, especially since he had other dings as well. Good to have him back tonight

I hope so, as I still prefer Bohm. But I'd be happy with Madrigal as well. I feel like 1 of those 2 will be there. If not, I guess I'd be ok with Singer or Bart

Yeah, he is having a great year and should be promoted. Unfortunately there is no room in WS. They already have 5 outfielders who need playing time and Robert will start there as well. I'm guessing Call/Basabe get called up soon to make room for Luis and Luis.

Gonzalez has already homered. Yurchak 2-2

two on already

I would still prefer Bohm first, but if he's gone I'd be happy with Madrigal. Hopefully they arent both gone

Ya I don't mind it. He needs to start hitting for some power though..

If Beer is there in the second, I hope we take him.

4-0 night. Yurchak 2-2 with 3 walks. Has more walks than strikeouts on the year. Definitely needs to start hitting for more power though.

Jones is one of their most reliable bullpen arms. Going to him in the 9th made sense. He just blew it. The whole bullpen is definitely a sore spot and will need a complete overhaul before the sox can expect to compete

Ouch

I'm hoping its Nate coming in.

Yeah, 1 guy (sam dykstra(?)) said he wasn't injured. I'm guessing it was just due to the blow out and not a call up or #hugwatch or anything

Hopefully its just because they are already up big.

In fact, we do. Tied with KC but I assume that is before today.

All are on the DL. Puckett tore his ACL, not sure on the other 2.

Also, this should be Jordan Stephens last start in AA.

I think it's time to give up this dream. He's going to be up this year. I imagine the rough estimate was Late August/Sept, but he's going to be in AAA before June and at that point its only a matter of time. My guess is mid July.

Stephens has been pretty good by the traditional numbers as well. Guerrero on the other hand has not. That is a huge difference between his FIP and ERA. Obviously that BABIP will come down. I remember him having better advanced numbers than traditional numbers early in the season last year as well. I agree both should be at AAA. Stephens even moreso.
