September 1, 201411 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20140901 Last game for the full season teams. Rienzo, Jaye, Wendelken, and Guerrero listed as starters.
September 1, 201411 yr Wendelken 4 Ks thru 2 innings with 1ER. Interesting tidbit from this game. Basto is playing RF. For me, I like this a lot because the kid has held his own hitting at high A and he's only 20. Moving him to the OF definitely seems logical and hopefully he could excel there. Hawkins 1-2 Barnum 1-1 2B
September 1, 201411 yr Author I hope Davidson gets a hit today. .200 right now. 0-3 would drop him under.
September 1, 201411 yr Wendelken ending the year strong. 5IP 6H 1ER 0BB 7Ks. His BB/K ratio is amazing. Anderson 1-1
September 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 01:17 PM) Semien and Phegley not playing today, probably already in Minnesota Might mean neither Mitchell nor Danks is getting the call. Makes me wonder who is getting DeAza's ABs.

Sox already have 4 OFs in Viciedo, Eaton, Garcia and Sierra. Danks and Mitchell are playing because they needed someone to play the OF lol.

It probably just means Semien and Phegley aren't playing today after a night game. Sounds like Mitchell will get called up based on what Bruce Levine was saying this morning. Rodon will be added. Mitchell, Danks, Semien, Phegley, Rienzo, Carroll, Bassitt, Surkamp and maybe Taylor Thompson should be active tomorrow. 35 players for 25 games. Crowded.
September 1, 201411 yr Probably easier to list everyone on the 40 who won't get called up: Trayce Thompson Davidson Fernandez De Los Santos maybe not Bassitt

Gonna be a crowded 40 man beyond them. Tough decisions loom on Surkamp, Taylor Thompson, and Carroll.

September 1, 201411 yr Author Anderson hit .364 in AA. 16-44. AFL is next. Edited September 1, 201411 yr by flavum
September 1, 201411 yr Author Davidson will be due up 3rd in the 9th. He needs a hit, or he'll finish under .200. edit: K to end the season. Bad year. Edited September 1, 201411 yr by flavum
September 1, 201411 yr Davidson caps off his truly terrible season by striking out to stay under .200. If he has any trade value at all, get rid of him. They have Conor and Semien to handle 3rd going forward.

September 1, 201411 yr QUOTE (QuickJones81 @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 08:41 PM) The classic rule of trading, buy high, sell low. Which is why I said if he has value left. If other teams believe he's a lost cause, then obviously you keep him and hope for the best. I don't trust the Sox to help him make the necessary adjustments.

Understatement. He flirted with that crazy b**** Mendoza all year. Can't imagine he'll get a callup - he really shouldn't be a part of any future plans unless/until he completely destroys AAA pitching in a third go-around. Likely a AAAA player when all is said and done, sadly.

Not unless they want to try Semien over at 3b, and that doesn't make much sense with Gillaspie on the big league club.

September 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Sep 1, 2014 -> 03:52 PM) I'd give Davidson another year at Charlotte. Only 24 next year. I'd give Davidson all the years he wants in Charlotte. Whose spot is he blocking?
September 2, 201411 yr EJ and Davidson both need to just take a month or two off of baseball completely. Then they just need to hit up their coaching staffs and work as hard as possible.
