I was at the Portland game

I was very very impressed with Weiland. He had a good slider, a lot of movement. Needs to control it better though.
Rizzo I’m impressed with in the field.
Lavarnway: awesome

Vitek, Head, Jacobs

Some nice offensive numbers in Lowell from these guys over the past week or two – just that they pick different nights to be the hot hand…

Wait 'til next/this year?

A lot of that going around in the affiliates...

Do you figure its a combination of challenging promotion (Kelly, MadYo, Wilson), time in the majors (Doubront) and injury (Tazawa) for the top prospects?

On the plus

He doesn’t stand out as the worst performance of the night, even on his own team (We’re looking at you Hermida!).

PTSD for Hermida...

… every time he steps out onto the field, he has visions of Adrian “Freight Train” Beltre barreling down on him.

Rockies not shopping Ianetta, who can play some 1B if Helton doesn’t come back. Turned down Lowrie-Ianetta from Red Sox
