DHing Tim Fed is interesting. So we think him and Expo will be both playing everyday until one is up in Portland? Expo has around an .800 OPS, so how much longer until he fills that spot in Portland vacated by Wagner?

Who knows?

At this rate, FedEx is gonna get the call first.

Really, though, the Sox seem to be erring on the side of caution with Expo so far. I wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t get up till late in the year. He hasn’t really produced at the level usually required for a promotion, so if the Sox are OK with them splitting catching duties, they’ll keep him down until he does.

Gibson

It’s very SSS, but Gibson has done a lot to impress me., with both hits, speed, and walks. Is he more of a future 2B or SS though? Seems like he’s moved around a bit.
