August 9, 201510 yr Reminder, Birmingham will be on CSN + tonight at 5. Excited to watch Anderson, May, and Delmonico somewhat live
August 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) Fulmer with 6IP, 5 H, 0 ER, 7 K, 3 BB Unless the box has it wrong, he only went 3

August 9, 201510 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 02:53 PM) Y'all sleeping on Eddy Alvarez. Dude is the absolute truth. The double promotion I suggested for him doesn't look too insane now. Too good for high-A as well. Let's get him in the lineup for the Angels series.

Let's get him in the lineup for the Angels series. Eddy may be my favorite "sleeper" in the entire org. I made the completely bats*** crazy prediction he'd be Top 100 by the end of the year and while that isn't happening, he's extremely fun to follow.

His career goal is to make the majors and walk 100 times in a season. How great is that.

Hopefully the glove catches up, but he is a guy you can't help but root for.
August 9, 201510 yr Anderson sure is skinny, huh? I love seeing Alvarez killing it in Winston-Salem. Give him a look in spring training next year and figure out if he's a piece for the future. He will and should start next season in AA, but keep him on a fast track if possible.

He'll never fit in with the Sox with that attitude. What about 'aggressiveness'!?! I'm sure the off season plan is to have Alvarez review all of Alexei and Avi's ABs so he can learn the Sox Way...either that or he'll get traded to an organization that actually values people who can get on base.
August 10, 201510 yr Johan Cruz down in GF has probably pack on some muscle/weight the past 2 years. He went from a SS with 40 steals potential to a now 3B who hasn't attempted a steal this season. Though the spike in slugging is definitely a welcoming sign.

If I recall he wasn't very good at SS, but I can't speak towards a change in his speed/steals.
August 10, 201510 yr Haven't seen recent scouting reports, but when he was signed, Ben Badler cited that he was the best defensive SS down in DR. A player that young should be given every chance to learn to play that position, unless he has outgrown it.
August 10, 201510 yr QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Aug 9, 2015 -> 09:37 PM) Anderson going to AAA soon? Or finishing at AA? I wouldn't mind bumping up Alvarez and Anderson each up a level, and let Rondon go back to A+. They could get a couple weeks taste of the new level and make adjustments in the off season as needed.
