Rodon never really registered with the farm system. He was barely there. If the Sox had done the traditional thing of having these guys put up huge numbers at low levels, the rankings would have loved them.

 

Instead they are actual major leaguers, which is better than ranked minor leaguers.

 

They were at 20 heading into 2015 with Rodon ranked 15. Problem is outside of Anderson from that lost, everyone has seen their star diminish.

Woo hoo 29 straight scoreless innings. Oh Abreu I love the 2 doubles . But did you really think Shoemaker was going to throw you a strike there with 1st base open and you hitting him well the 1st 2 AB's. A smart hitter like Ortiz would've took that pitch 99/100 times.

 

Fantastic post

Abreu has chased 306 pitches out of the strike zone and leads the majors in that category. He needs to adjust that or hes going to get worse

 

Any idea where he ranked the previous two years

Yep.

What's sad is that James is ridiculously close to a no hitter.

Shields deserves some run support here.

Shields sitting on a one hitter and 73 pitches thru 6

Their top draft picks under hahn from 2013-2015 are in the majors right now for the team.

 

My point exactly. The team definitely drafts well.

Any idea where he ranked the previous two years

 

Not sure. Stone rattled that stat off when he was batting. Have noticed hes horrible with swinging at strikes down and away

Sure, and if they had been dragging Rodon through the minors at a traditional pace, he'd be a top 10 in all of MLB prospect racking up ridiculous numbers in Birmingham or Charlotte right now.

Right part of the order coming up here. Let's get some runs.

Stellar game from Shields to matchand exceed Gonzalez last night.

 

0 runs in 29 straight inning ls though.

 

I feel a Morneau 2 run bomb coming up.

Melky starts it off... the fuse is lit.

OH MY GOD A LEADOFF SINGLE

Back end of our rotation has held up lately and we have been wasting it.

OH MY GOD A LEADOFF SINGLE

A DREADED leadoff single at that!

Need to CAPITALIZE here.

Bad strike 2 call.

Need to CAPITALIZE here.

Sox need to put their offense on CAPS Lock.

We're continuing to try to injure Choi, so that's a thing.

Need to CAPITALIZE here.

 

RUNS would be NICE

if this scoreless streak extends to 100 or 150 innings without a run, will we finally see Ventura given the axe? How long must the streak of futility continue before we see change?

Frazier is a piece of trash.

Awful At bat. He must think his brother is still pitching.

Morneau hitting the ball hard at least.
