February 14Feb 14 Sox starter depth makes me suspect Hagen Smith and some other prospects may be headed to AA, where the rotation is also a little crowded. All I care about is Oppor at Birmingham. He already dominated A+, no need to repeat.

All I care about is Oppor at Birmingham. He already dominated A+, no need to repeat. I assume that Schultz, Sandlin, Cannon, & Davitt are locks for the AAA rotation to start the season (assuming Burke & Fedde grab the last two spots with Sox). After that, there are a lot of possibilities. I could see Smith and McDougal starting the season at either AAA or AA. Candidly, I don’t see a lot of value in rushing our top pitching prospects to Charlotte. Just feels like AAA is far less important for pitchers in general and Charlotte specifically is very tough obviously. I think McDougal probably deserves to be in AAA and maybe even Smith after his AFL stint, but I could see the Sox protecting them a bit and letting the lower tier prospects like Schweitzer, Murphy, & Riley get the first crack at the remaining starts in AAA.

Hagen, McDougal, Oppor and Lucas Gordon have to be in the AA rotation. Gowens has spent 2 seasons at AA and will probably be pushed up to AAA.
