Minor Lines 6/30 - Because There Were No Major Lines Today

Boy, I sure do hate offdays, don't you guys? Sucks not being able to watch the Red Sox beat up on those hapless O's, right?

...

Slowly breaks into tears and crumples to the floor.

Pawtucket L 0-12

Box Score
Chris Carter: 0-4
Dusty Brown: 0-3, K
Aaron Bates: 0-3, 2 K

Portland L 5-8

Box Score
-Consider Kason Gabbard the first "fallen prospect". Right now there's something wrong with him, and until he fixes it, I don't se any point in keeping folks appraised of his disastrous outings. If something changes, I'll let ya know.
Josh Reddick: 1-4, HR, BB, K
-3 homers in the last week.
Jorge Jimenez: 0-4, K
Lars Anderson: 1-4, 2 K, SB
Ryan Kalish: 0-4, 3 K
Argenis Diaz: 1-4, 2 K

Salem W 13-4

Box Score
Che-Hsuan Lin: 2-4, 3B, BB, 2 K
Jason Place: 2-5, 2 2B, 2 K
Yamaico Navarro: 3-5, 2B, HR
-May have shaken the rehab rust off by now.
Anthony Rizzo: 0-5
Tim Federowicz: 2-5, HR, K
-Remember how earlier I jokingly said he should go to Portland?
...I'm starting to wonder. Looking like a big draft steal right now.
David Mailman: 1-4, BB, K
Kris Negron: 2-4, 2B, K

Greenville W 13-4 ...Wait, didn't I just do this?

Box Score
Ryan Lavarnway: 1-5, K, E
Will Middlebrooks: 0-4, BB, 2 K, E
Oscar Tejeda: 3-5, 2 K
Jeremy Hazelbaker: 1-5, 2B
-Promoted to loose the logjam in Lowell's OF
Hunter Strickland: 5 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

GCL Red Sox L 3-5

Box Score
Boss Moanoroa: 1-3, 2B, BB, 2 K
Seth Schwindenhammer: 0-3, BB, K
Ramon Mendez: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 5 K
-A big time dark horse guy. International signing in 2007. 18-year-old righty who had an impressive year last year with a 2.65 ERA and a nice show of control with his BB:K numbers. Fastball in the low-mid 90's, projectable frame might notch it up to steady 94-95.

Well I’m not fixing it. Deal.

I actually think it looks good like this.

Maybe because it signifies a nice difference in view after watching you (as tears) crumple to the floor.

It’s cool, friend. I did the same right after writing the game story.

Also, kinda symbolic.

Green players, as in young?

Reddick going to be promoted any time soon? Didn’t he play in AA last year for a while?

He and Lars came up around the same time.

And since neither has set the world on fire this year due to injuries (at least for Reddick), I don’t see it coming anytime too soon. There’s not a big push from Salem just yet, after all.

Lin would have to pick it up, right?

To give any sort of consideration to assuming Reddick can keep this up and promote him.

Lin is having a nice month.

But yeah, just like Reddick he’s gotta prove he can do it for more than just a month. Because once again there’s no OF push from below just yet except for at Lowell.
