Let's sweep em

Nice easy inning for Noesi

One of the better Sox stories this year. You can count on him next year and feel pretty good about it.

Given what Noesi has done after not being prepared as a starter, I'm really happy. I'm excited to see what he can do with an offseason of rest and preparation for a starter's workload.

Replay fails Sox again.

Well there's #101 for Abreu

2nd in the majors in home runs allowed...if he's anything higher than the 5th starter heading into next year, I'll be concerned

This has been a great inning:

-Eaton singles

-Ramirez doubles

-Abreu singles, scoring Eaton

-Gillaspie singles, scoring Ramirez

Here's another chance for Viciedo to be a hero

Jeez, Wilkins is useless.

How bad must the pitching in AAA be for Andy Wilkins to be as good as he was?

Jeez, Wilkins is useless.

 

Give it two years, he'll be in Japan hopefully making good money

Viciedo hits one homerun and you guys want to bring him back next year. Unbelievable. I hope Hahn is not so shortsighted.

 

It's frustrating they seem to be platooning Semien. Given the adjustment period he's had at new levels, they should be getting him as many at bats as possible.

Adrian!!!

Gonna be interesting to follow Nieto in AAA next season.

Avi's OPS is almost twice as high against LHP than RHP this season. Strange, as he was better vs RHP in the past.

Maybe the Sox just don't see him as a long-term fixture anywhere and are trying to max his trade value by putting him in optimal scenarios. Maybe they see a flaw but he sure seems like he has passed the test of the minor leagues.

Belisario strikes again. I forgot about him, but hey, only a couple more weeks and he's gone!

His HR rate is a lot higher than any minor league stop, which along with his weird trajectory this (and other) years gives me some optimism that he might improve there next year. He's not a ground ball pitcher for sure though, which appears contrary to Hahn's goals. I don't think I or anyone else has him penciled in as a frontline guy, but he's certainly earned some spot in the rotation. I don't care what number it is.

There seems to be some Bryan LaHare in him

See above

Who was keeping track of home runs that hit the top of the fence? Add another one, yo Adrian.

Since their most recent promotions, Wilkins/Sanchez/Semien/Phegley have combined for 44 strikeouts and 1 walk

I can't figure out whether the Sox really like Sanchez more than Semien or if something else is going on - like they think they need to see Sanchez up close to decide if he's worth a shot next year and have already decided Semien will be up next year. I have to say, though, that would be some odd logic

I hope they are just showcasing Sanchez for a trade.
