April 13, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 09:35 AM) this is going to be a nice test For Martinez? Yes. Blackmer is a little intriguing considering we got him for De Aza, so I hope he gets off to a nice start.
April 13, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 09:43 AM) It's Blackmar. His dad played on the PGA tour a long time. My bad. I made the change. According to the FutureSox twitter, Havilland and Johnson are doing a tandem today.
April 13, 201510 yr Haviland and Johnson are sharing a starting slot for the time being, working tandem. I'm a little surprised Blackmar is starting over Garcia or Sanburn, but that makes me more intrigued about Blackmar.
April 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (Dunt @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 10:57 PM) Anderson 3-5, 2 RBI, 1 E Pretty sure he's been picked off twice already this year. Great offensive start for him though.
April 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 04:58 PM) Pretty sure he's been picked off twice already this year. Great offensive start for him though. Well then, he'll fit right in with the good aggressive baserunning we're seeing from the parent club. Let's keep running like crazy against Sal Perez. We're due, right?
April 14, 201510 yr Trayce Thompson continuing his hot start, it would be great if something clicks for him this season. He probably still has the best physical tools in our minor league system.
April 14, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 08:24 PM) Johnson done. 3IP, 3K, 2H. I am rooting for him heavy but this is a depleted Durham Bulls team. With Loney, Nick Franklin and John Jaso all on the DL the team is missing what would probably be their 2-3-4 hitters in Beckham-Mahtook-Dykstra. Encouraging start for EJ either way. Seth Lasso mentioned that Johnson was 92-95 with more torque in his delivery....If he can stay there all year, he can be dominant again.
April 14, 201510 yr What was Johnson at velo wise last year? Read a Lasko tweet that he was sitting at 92-95 today. That's higher than last year yes? Where was he in 2013? As always, Im a tad bit slow to post lol Edited April 14, 201510 yr by scs787

April 14, 201510 yr Now that Ravelo is gone, Jake Peter is probably the best pure hitter in our system.

That's fantastic news. Him returning to form would be incredible for our system. He was arguably our top prospect prior to last season if you exclude Abreu. I know it's only one appearance, but if the velocity is legitimately back I feel pretty good about his chances.
April 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 08:59 PM) Now that Ravelo is gone, Jake Peter is probably the best pure hitter in our system. Would like to see him Double A by mid season. DiMichele shouldn't be blocking him.

I know it's only one appearance, but if the velocity is legitimately back I feel pretty good about his chances. yeah, that is the main thing, having his old stuff back. this is what i was hoping for since they shut him down. a nice rebound. and if true, adding more pitchers to the mix. um i wonder at what point will the sox coaches will be convince of his rtn to his old self? can he be added to the mix at the major league level if another injury or something happens?

If he pitches this way for at least 3-5 starts, I'm sure they would probably go with him over Beck, Surkamp or Penny (assuming they're not ready to bring up Rodon quite yet).

Where was he in 2013? As always, Im a tad bit slow to post lol i think that is the fastest if i remember correctly, his speed was from 89-91. but that was last yr numbers. here is a link http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/pro...=erik-johnson-3 so in essence, he has improved on his speed. that is weird.
April 14, 201510 yr Here's the recap, featuring the Erik Johnson of Old, Martinez' debut, and Hawkins' first AA HR.
April 14, 201510 yr If EJ remembered how to pitch, the rest of the division/league should become very concerned.
