I can't remember either, but I do remember it being hilarious.

 

Looked it up, it was a solo shot in the 3rd inning of a scoreless game which the Sox won 2-1. Belisario with the no-sweat save, as usual.

Ha ha, I remember that. IIRC, it was a rather low pitch that he had to go down and get.

Brantly, Hawkins, and Diaz sent down.

 

41 remain.

It was bound to happen sooner or later, but damn if it ain't a little disappointing. Really enjoyed watching him this spring.

There was zero chance of him heading north with the team, so it was inevitable.

Zero is a very low number. If Melky breaks his leg tonight, there is some chance hawkins makes the opening day roster.

There's no amount of injuries that would put Hawkins in KC on opening day. They'd trade for Jordan Danks and Dayan Viciedo before Hawkins made the opening day roster.

 

Engel Beltre is still in camp and has a small amount of major league experience. He'd make it in an emergency.

Shows how thin the Sox still are.

i think 1 of the old threads was about how thin the sox are really, in accordance of salary spent this yr.

OFs who'd be called up before Hawkins in that case:

 

Thompson

Mitchell

Beltre

possibly Marrero or Coats

 

Then maybe Hawkins if he was crushing AA, but even then they'd probably go get someone first.

if Hawkins is crushing AA, i really think the sox will keep him there and move him up to AAA in late July.

This makes no sense to me.

 

"One of our high level prospects had a great spring but he's too far away for a callup and there are several better options who would get called up first"

 

"That just shows you how thin this team is"

 

"What about the 'several other options wasn't clear?'"

That isn't unreasonable and it would imply a huge improvement on the part of Hawkins over last year's work.

I really wouldn't mind Viciedo back on a cheaper, minor league deal just hoping we wouldn't need him.

This. The Sox are really not thin on OF depth.

i would mind this very much

A lot of overhype here about Hawkins.

 

If he tears up AA and AAA then he'll be in for a September call up.

 

Trayce Thompson also had a good spring and i'd expect to see him before Hawkins.

 

They also seem keen on Beltre as well.

 

If the injuries get really bad and we don't explore waivers or trades, then you may see Hawkins but reality is that he's still got time to prove himself and time to get ready for the majors in AA and AAA and it may hurt him more to call him up before he is ready like we did with Beckham.

Agree. If Thompson is doing decent and there is an injury, he will be up.

How many teams have better OF depth than Bonifacio and Shuck?

another question with a different look, how many teams, up to this spring, have a stock farm or minor league. a surplus where they can support the major team.

 

Bonifacio is more of an all position super sub.

Agree. If Thompson is doing decent and there is an injury, he will be up.

 

for the role of backup, i am very surprise at his performance this spring. whereas, i had little faith in a viable outfield backup, now, i have faith that the sox may have a nice backup.
