Not a good day down on the farm, particularly for the post-Bradley Salem Sox.
Pawtucket L 3-4 (In 13)
Ryan Lavarnway: 2-5, 2B, BB, K
Lars Anderson: 0-5, BB, 3 K
-Lars has cooled down some, but with an .850 OPS at 24 years old could still be easily tossed into a trade package for some added value.
Alex Hassan: 0-5, BB, 3 K
Juan Carlos Linares: 4-6, 2B, K
-So, yeah, for all prospects wondering, that's how to start a Triple-A stint.
Che-Hsuan Lin: 0-4, BB
Daniel Bard: 1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
-The Bard-as-a-starter experiment comes to an end. Now the Bard-as-a-reliever project has to begin.
Jackie Bradley is rained out after the jump.
