4/16 ML Gameday Thread: PawSox & Salem Sox home openers

Who can strike out Manuel Margot? He looks to have such a great bat to ball skill as Pedey and Mookie.

Huh, interesting ... hadn't noticed that he hasn't struck out at all so far this year. He's had a great start to the year, still think he's gonna explode this year.

The numbers sure look good for Margot don't they and he doesn't seem to struggle going to new levels that much. He will probably still be 20 years old when he reaches AA. The Sox have so many great prospects that the system still looks loaded even after promoting two guys in a row who were top 10 in baseball in Betts and Bogaerts. The organization is managed exceptionally. Gotta say some of that is Cherington.

Beeks, who was a very interesting pick (drafted 374 but ranked 125 by BA and 174 by MLB), has 10 K, 0 BB in 9.2 IP.

Wright hasn't had anything resembling a good knuckler going back to his last ST appearance, neither throwing it for strikes nor getting swings and misses. Here's hoping he re-finds the touch. Right now, Johnson is pretty clearly the 6th starter.
