I'll do the honors Kopech v. Ashcraft

Ugh, sorry to hear about your friend. I'll be rooting for Miller regardless of uniform.

HR Brooks Baldwin. Of all the college guys from last year's draft at Kanny, he's the most intriguing to me. Switch-hitter who can play all over the field.

Dalquist done. 4 no hit innings, 4Ks.

Dalquist looks shockingly under control today. No runs in 4 innings.

If they trade TA, they should prioritize pitching. Dodgers have three guys who are close -- Pepiot, Stone, and Miller. I would take any of those three. Gio would get you something. They should start shopping him now while he's still pitching well. Internally, there's not a lot. I do not believe in Burke. Mena is very young, but he has plus control and pretty good command. I could see him coming fast. Cannon will be up by the end of next year. Don't know how much impact he'll have, though. Matthew Thompson is teasing that he may be a big leaguer. Under the radar lefties like Sommer and Murphy might be depth options by next year? Other than that, you can count on a couple of scrap heap signings.

Moncada 3-3 with a HR. Reyes really trying to earn the call up. Colas with a double.

Gonna have to be patient with Pallete because of the TJ, but Cannon has passed him for me. WS up 3-0, Veras up to .327. Gladney runs a lot better than you'd expect. Scored after a walk. Those two are screaming up the Sox very thin prospect list.

Should we open the Trade Winds forum early this year?

Frazier might be getting a call soon.

Cespedes HR.

Cannon cruising. He's only thrown 65 pitches through 6. You gotta let him throw the 7th, right?

Watching Cannon now at W-S. Looks more like a potential MLB starter to me than Burke. 96 fairly straight but decent breaking stuff and good command. Burke throws a lot of non-competitive pitches. I don't think they are doing him any favors by starting him in AAA.

Carlos Perez was a late scratch for Charlotte. Might be coming up to allow Grandal to DH more?

So far at Charlotte, Colas has a hit, Moncada walked. Burke is walking quite a few. Has Mena passed him as the second starter up?

Charlotte is getting no hit, so there’s that.

This team is such a train wreck, I doubt anyone is walking away from this.

Hooray, back up to .333 ball!

Lopez gives up at least one run every time he pitches. Not a great choice here.

Is Anderson hurt? Or rest while still ramping up?

Nice save by Middleton. Further proof that maybe don’t spend a huge percentage of your budget on bullpen arms.

The difference between AAA and the majors for hitters is steep. See also, Henderson, Gunnar. Hopefully, these guys can keep working and get going. Sox will need them eventually.

Gonna be tough if Alberto becomes our starting 3b

Me too. Love the town as well.

Gotta say, 13 under, 25th in OPS, "Let's add Hamilton and Colome to the 40 man" is one of the dumbest things I've ever encountered. Words. Fail. Scrape the entire thing into Lake Michigan. Fire everyone and find the baseball equivalent of Ryan Poles.
