Red Sox Minor Lines: Wow, What A Boring Day On The Farm

Worcester, L 9-3

Casas, 1B: 2-3, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 1 K

Valdez, 2B: 0-4, 0 BB, 0 K

Cordero, CF: 1-3, 1 R, 1 K

Bazardo: 3 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 5 K

Politi: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

Simpson: 1 IP, 1 H, 2 ER, 1 BB

Shugart: 0.2 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 0 K

Norwood: 1.1 IP 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB 1 K

Ort: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

Ladies and gentlemen: Franchy Cordero, centerfielder! Sure, it’s been four years since he last played the position even semi-regularly, but I’ve got a feeling that this positional experiment is the one that’s going to click!

Portland, L 6-4

Abreu, CF: 0-3, 1 R, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 SB, 1 CS

Koss, SS: 1-4, 1 RBI, 1 K

Binelas, 3B: 0-4, 3 K

Scott, C: 1-3, 1 HR

Kennedy: 3 IP, 1 ER, 1 B, 4 K 1 HR

Spacke: 2.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 3 BB, 2 K

Thompson: 1.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 HR

Nail: 2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1 HR

It was just a regular ol’ day-off for Ceddane, but man, do these Minor Lines feel kind of empty without him. Abreu is an absolute on-base machine, though, so we’ve got that going for us.

Greenville, L 3-1

Yorke, DH: 0-4, 2 K

Lugo, 3B: 0-4, 2 K

Kavadas, 1B: 2-4, 2 K

Cellucci: 2 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Webb: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Jeez, you know it’s a barren day when Portland’s highlight is a two single day for Kavadas.

Salem, L 3-2

Mayer, DH: 1-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB

Bonaci, SS: 0-2, 1 R, 2 BB, SB

Jordan, 1B: 1-3, 1 RBI

De La Rosa: 3 IP, 0 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 4 K

Troye: 1.0 IP, 0 H, o ER, 2 BB, 1 K

Three walks on the day for Marcelo; I feel like the Carolina League pitchers are as sick of seeing him down there as I am. Time for a ticket to Greenville. And in case you’re wondering, Bonaci will be able to hold down short when he’s gone:
