Was Chatwood a big prospect coming into the year?

Angels top minor league pitcher last year

Chatwoods all over the place...make him pay please.

I'd really like to give Jake a month before we make any sort of judgment on his being "back" or not. First game back in the bigs, he's gonna have some adrenaline.

Of course, that would be a moronic argument based on slumping players that only a fool would make

 

And what tools would you say Morel and AJ have?

Hawk needs to stop making every pitcher who befuddles our hitters into some sort of unhittable pitcher.

Nice play by Alexei. Peavy's velocity is better than expected, but his slider has nothing on it.

 

Really? Everytime I've looked it has been at about 91, which is 3-4 MPH slower than he used to be.

Productive AB by Teahen...not

Chances of the Sox scoring this inning?

He hasn't been at 94-95mph during his Sox career.

"slumping"

MT bad effort.

Productive AB by Teahen...not

And that is so surprising...not

"slumping"

 

And when they're not slumping, what tools do they have that are above average?

I agree totally here. I said I'm not worried about results right now with Jake.

Sucks as usual.

Wow, Pierre really "ripped" that ball down the line. Ugh.

He hasn't been at 94-95mph during his Sox career.

And according to fangraphs, his average velocity has never been above 92.5.

And when they're not slumping, what tools do they have that are above average?

Morel, power defense average. Aj average and fielding.

 

Of course it's far easier to pay no attention to a players track record or ability and stress over right now. Which is why I conclude from the same standard that Dunn and Beckham are also no tool players

Well, the Sox are in the Greater Los Angeles area. Just take Pierre back to Dodger Stadium where we found him, put him on the doorstep, ring the doorbell, and then run like H-E-DOUBLE-TOOTHPICK!

At this point, it almost seems it's in our best interest for Pierre to go 0 for his next 40 and make the decision easier for KW (and not Ozzie). Again, you can even consider an injury to him, as he's the anti-Peavy.

An intelligent team would release the zero tool player. Bring up Viciedo put him in left. Leadoff with Alexei.

 

But our manager would rather wait for his NL offense to materialize.

2 on no outs and no bunt to move them over????

Morel, power defense average. Aj average and fielding.

Morel has power? That's news to me.

 

AJP has fielding as a "tool"?

Some might consider AJ a tool.

Still REALLY weird seeing that Sox logo on the sleeve instead of the black diamond.
