Congrats to Noe.
I assume Leon DFA'd, ShaneO activated and JBJ optioned also.
EDIT: or DL for Swihart. Still would require a 40-man roster spot.

Cool; had to be added to 40 this year anyway. Walks are up significantly this year but he's always posted solid, if unspectacular K-, BB- and H-rates. Pat Light, you're next.

On the flip side, it's a bit sad that Dalier Hinojosa has not been able to consolidate his gains. Liked how he looked in spring training but he seems to have taken a step or two backwards since then.

A trade? who would be a DFA candidate given we now have 2 catchers Leon you can DFA first, trade later. It's not like other teams won't be able to figure out what you have in mind for him if a trade doesn't get worked out. |

Spruill got his clock cleaned last nite,

Fingers are crossed. Ramierez's stuff is just OK. I'm hoping his make up will thrive at the challenge and confidence will ensue. The flip side would be an implosion. Interesting that Chamberlain gets designated today also. Curious to see if this amounts to a reunion with the Yanks and his buddy Elsberry.

Not that anything's wrong with that, but I thought they could put Brentz on the 60-day DL after his thumb surgery. |

He's basically here to save the rest of the pen should Masterson get killed. |

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that (a) Brentz is on the minor-league DL and (b) he would have to be transferred to the major-league DL to put him on the 60-day list, which would get his major league service clock ticking? It's unlikely to matter with Brentz because he doesn't really project as more than a AAAA player, but perhaps still a minor consideration. |

Moved the 40-man/Rule 5 discussion to its own thread.

The ensuing defense lead to Noe's unraveling, somewhat. Not the best scenario with which to bring the kid into the game, but thems the breaks. Feel bad for the kid. Hope he is stronger for the experience. |

Given that he grew up in a bad area in LA, I'm guessing giving up a few runs isn't going to be the end of the world for him.

LA is beyond imagining for many Bostonians. It's 5 1/2 times the size, and that's before you get to the suburbs. That includes an astounding number of neighborhoods. Some of them are very tough, not because they're uniformly bad, but because it's a scramble just to make your way day to day. Hatfield is right in what he says about Noe Ramirez. This is just a minor challenge for the guy. It won't phase him a bit.

That's getting a bit too close to "He has to be a good catcher, he went to Yale!" territory for me. I'm all for drawing attention to his story, it's great, but I don't think it has anything to do with his baseball ability, one way or the other. I mean, are we saying that a kid from Greenwich would be affected by blowing the game in his debut?

IN THE MEANTIME, Sox have prematurely added 3 more RHP to the 40-man who may be fairly useless for the current season.
Ramirez, Aro, Hinojosa
The 3 have combined for 7 innings.
could anything constructive have really come out of it?

I mean, what else did you want to use those 40-man spots for? |

His stuff is his stuff That's different than whether he'll be fazed about being hit hard, and that's what the comment implied. I don't see that as an issue at all. |

There are plenty of people who have difficult upbringings that are less able to handle minor stresses. Seems like a stereotype to me. |
