August 16, 20187 yr 12 hours ago, Jose Abreu said: According to baseball-reference he hasn't played a game with us Yeah, I was thinking of Luke Shilling. Someone brought up in the AAP thread that if memory serves correctly Caranza was the guy that had the weird signing were we heard he was signed, but then he wasn't on the list the Sox released, but then he did sign later. That could have been because of this popping up on medicals and needing to renegotiate the bonus amount. If that is the case, what is interesting is that him being injured and being forced to take a lower bonus could be what allowed us to get Bryce Bush signed if Carranza's first agreed bonus was much bigger.

August 19, 20187 yr I'm not one to call players "busts" before they reach the MLB level, but Luis Robert has to have contracted the Bieber curse by now.
August 28, 20187 yr Any news recently with Dunning and / or Hansen? Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks!

Results haven't been great, but also not awful. Dunning is in AZ throwing. But I haven't heard anything else on that in a couple weeks.

But I haven't heard anything else on that in a couple weeks. Hansen has been awful. He's all over the place, not finding the zone at all. Dunning went to AZ, but the AZL season is now over so he won't be pitching in games there. Not sure if he pitches at all before Instructs/AFL.

The only report I ever saw that he was going to Arizona but no updates if he actually pitched or was it rehab only.

I would suspect he was pitching in practice or simulated games or something though.

He has just 9 IP with 7 hits, 11 Ks and 7 BB since he was demoted to WS across three starts. Seems like a slight improvement form his previous results, but he's definitely not working late into games and has not thrown many pitches in his outings.

Statistically it looks only mildly bad, but from in-person reports he's missing the zone by a lot. The stuff and velo are still present, which is good, but he's lost all semblance of command.
