I would say it's about time for an Asche DFA/Delmonico call-up Nice to see Basabe's bat coming alive

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 02:23 PM) Only played 57 games, hit .213, 11 RBI all of last year. He was certainly part of the reason we weren't any good, even if his health was the major factor. We shouldn't have thought we could rely on him to stay healthy, but under 60 games is bad. Batting average and RBI don't really matter. It wasn't good that he couldn't stay healthy but that doesn't mean he was garbage.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 02:17 PM) Remember when Avila was garbage for us? Fun times. Not really. 104 wRC+, 1.1 WAR.

Omar Narvaez has a .395 OBP

That was sensational by Kahnle

QUOTE (soxforlife05 @ Apr 29, 2017 -> 02:37 PM) Is Swarzak the Albers of 2016? Hard to believe this is all for real after what happened last year. No. Albers had bad peripherals. Swarzak has great ones, after really good ones last year and the year before.

Swarzak just hit *98* on the gun

If I'm the Sox I'm thankful I'm still in the game after 4 Pelfrey innings and going to the bullpen

Fangraphs ain't optimistic.

Pretty funny that we have the greatest bullpen of all time on a rebuilding team

A Kahnle that is capable of a 4.0 BB/9 or less would be a real nice piece

Can't remember ever seeing a player have all four of his team's walks

My boy Swarzak doing work and hitting 96. Looks reeeaalll good.

Danny Hayes 0-1, 3 BB. Striking out too much but apart from that continuing to be interesting.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 25, 2017 -> 07:16 PM) I will keep saying it but I saw him in spring and he didn't even look like he'd have much success in AAA. Was sitting 89-91 with a flat breaking ball and a change that didn't look that much different from his fastball. At least he defends the position I guess! 7.9 K/9 v 5.2 BB/9 at AA as a 25 year-old. MiLB career 6.4 K/9 v 2.9 BB/9. Good grounder rate but nothing else that would indicate major-league success. Waste of time.

Covey is just not good. So many rec projects or rule 5 flyers they could have gone with ahead of him.

Carson Fulmer 5.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 1BB, 7K

Always love a steal of third. Was something we barely tried under Robin.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 24, 2017 -> 06:36 PM) 2 more homers for Eric Thames. Incredible. Sort of project the Sox should be after. Brewers have done an exceptional rebuild. Wladimir Balentien could be the same sort of thing. Dude looked incredible at the WBC.

*whispers* Strikeouts for Spencer Adams. 10 of them. 6.0 IP, 6H, 2ER, 2BB, 10K. Cleuluis Rondon is quietly hitting over .300 for Birmingham (10% K-rate) Dunning later. http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20170424

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Apr 22, 2017 -> 11:32 PM) And now...it begins....the major drop into the Seth Beer sweepstakes. One thing I will say that surprises me is the attendance figures for some of these home games. Obviously a lot of Sox fans understand and approve of the rebuild. Either that or the Sox are really padding the figures. Regarding Putnam...he's the same as Petricka and Tilson...can't stay healthy. Meaning they aren't worth anything even in a trade for a low A ball player. Not that they are trying to get hurt...some guys are just unlucky. Mark I'd quite happily give up a low-A player that isn't worth anything to trade for Zach Putnam if I'm a playoff team. I think you'll be quite surprised at the return for him. He's day-to-day. Relax.

Mike Morrison for Kanny this season: 9.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 1BB, 15K.

Colton Turner (the return from the Blue Jays for Dioner Navarro) has been good early for Birmingham. 2.0 IP, 0H, 0BB, 3K tonight. 15K, 3BB in 10 IP on the year.
