With Tim Hummel's strong showing and Joe Crede's rather ordinary season, is there any chance that Hummel could compete for the third base job next year, or is it set in concrete for Crede to prevail no matter what?

Sure there is always a chance. But he would have to show there is separation.

Cerb, thanks for doing my job tonight. It is nice to get a break sometimes.

Nice start for Dizard, Hernandez blew the save tho. 8 errors by Sox, ouch.

When did Malone get sent down to Kanny? I must've missed it.

Loooooooong rehab. First 4 games at Bristol, now 2 games at Kanny. Malone is on the 40 man roster. Will he come off when the roster gets rearranged in the off season?

Nanita extends his streak to 41. Got HPB and walked twice.

Loooooooong rehab.  First 4 games at Bristol, now 2 games at Kanny.  Malone is on the 40 man roster.  Will he come off when the roster gets rearranged in the off season?

It's possible, but the potential is still there with him so they may hang on for one more year. Depends on how he is throwing in his rehab, I guess.
