The Sox could use some more if you ask me.

I'm sure that plays a big factor, but don't forget about Alexei Ramirez and Jose Contreras' successes here. I'm sure those didn't hurt either. Maybe you could even make a case for Viciedo and El Duque, although that may be a bit tougher. I'm sure a portion of it has to do with the comfortability factor as well. Jose, Yoan, Luis, and Yaz are all on the major league club and signed lucrative deals with the club. Young players coming out of Cuba have seen how the Sox have handled them and I'm sure it's at least intriguing to them.

And someone that has a history with Tony too, which to me is a bit more significant.

They hit what, four 3R HRs tonight? The Sox essentially made Birmingham the island of misfit toys this year, but they're all coming out of the gates scorching hot. Love to see it.

Hansen pitched and had 3 more walks. Dude just hasn't been able to find the plate since 2017, really sucks to see.

This particular mock has the Sox selecting Wes Kath

Like @DirtySox said, once his Visa issues are resolved, he's expected to join Birmingham.

Those points are valid and catchers should obviously focus on trying to prevent as many as they can. Looking at the stats, the Sox are tied for second with 7 other teams with 4 PBs, which isn't great (Marlins lead the league with 6). They also check in at 26th with 7 WPs this season (the Tigers are in first with a whopping 25). While the PB portion could absolutely use some shoring up, the Sox and their Cs seem to be doing a great job at limiting WPs. It would be interesting to see if there is any direct correlation on the way C's set up leading (or not leading) to more WP/PBs.

Btw, not that this matters at all, but I'm currently watching the Rockies Cardinals game. The Rockies had men on and Yadi was dropping down to a knee to receive the pitch. So it seems that even Yadi utilizes this technique, even with runners being on base.

Players aren't running nearly as much on the base paths as they used to. So if they theoretically aren't a threat to run, wouldn't it be more advantageous as a catcher to put yourself in a better position to steal pitches for your pitcher? Bc two HOF C's (I'm guessing Yadi will be in there) caught one particular way doesn't mean that way will work for everyone.

No amount of logic and reasoning can deter TLR from getting what he wants.

Kanny stream is finally working

Yeah I'd have to think they're going to closely monitor the big 3's innings down there (at least early on).

Nope, won't do anything for me. Dalquist is out now btw

From the looks of it I don't see a Kanny stream. New stadium and still doesn't have a feed, what's going on here? Nevermind, I found it, but the milb site is just being horrible at the moment.
