Red Sox Minor Lines 6/25, 6/26: Greenville Unleashed

6/25

Pawtucket L 5-6

Box Score

Yamaico Navarro: 2-5, K
Ryan Lavarnway: 1-5, HR
-OPS now up to 1.083. The question becomes: where to put him should they deem him ready?
Luis Exposito: 1-4, 2 K
Jose Iglesias: 0-4, 2 K

Jason Rice: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 4 K
Franklin Morales: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K

Portland L 5-9

Box Score

Jeremy Hazelbaker: 0-4, BB, K, SB
Alex Hassan: 0-3, BB, K
Chih-Hsien Chiang: 1-4, HR, K
-Chiang has kept up his excellent start all through June now, so it's time to start giving him a follow. Chiang's left behind a career full of .700-something OPS to turn in a big-power 2011 season. He's already got 12 homers and 24 other extra basehits to give him a .611 slugging percentage to go with a decent .357 OBP. While Chiang is still new to the outfield, he should be able to stick there well enough in the long-term.
Tim Federowicz: 2-4, 2B
Reynaldo Rodriguez: 0-4, 2 K
Oscar Tejeda: 1-3, BB

Bobby Jenks: 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K
