Mead is playing 2b with 2bb tonight. I wonder what position he’s gonna play with the Sox cuz this team has a whole lotta 2b.

I'm curious if he even sniffs Chicago this season. Getz's comments sure don't make it sound like he will.

"We identified some things in his offensive game that we feel like we can try to tap into to make him a real impactful major league player," Getz said of Mead, who will report to Triple-A Charlotte. "It's about the next two months of work, going into the offseason and seeing where we are at come spring training with Curtis."

I guess it’s just one game.  Maybe they just want to see how his arm is.  I read that it’s pretty bad in his scouting reports.  The Sox have a hole at 1B so I just assumed they would move him there.  I wonder if they see him as a starter somewhere or just as a utility guy a la Ben Zobrist?

They obviously have some adjustments they want him to work on and get comfortable with in a low stress environment.

Hopefully by ST he can lock down a starting spot with the big club.

Yea I'm fine with it. Let him cook in the minors. Just tired of watching Rojas.

Makes zero sense not to recall him when AAA season ends, though.

It's a very oddly specific amount of time to say, someone you have never met or worked with, needs to be "fixed".  How do they already know it's two months, which is almost exactly what is left in the MiLB season?  How come he couldn't get this figured out in a day, a week, or even a month?

Couple of thoughts:

- Please god, let Braden and [insert 2B of choice] be the RF and 2B that the Sox haven't had since Dye/Iguchi.

- Looked at Burke's stats out of curiosity and man, he's the poster child of being consumed by Birmingham.

2b gonna be interesting. Sosa is hitting well enough to be hard to dislodge. Ultimately, I think Antonacci > Meidroth, but Meidroth can play ss and is probably a better defender at 2b, although Antonacci has the stronger arm.Then you’ve got Mogollon and I can imagine Bonemer as a big 2b. Lotta options.

Maybe Michael Jordan could have been a great OF, and Birmingham just kept him down.
