ANY lefthander wants to hit tonight. Wind is blowing straight out to the boot steady at about 20 MPH, gusts close to 35. Anyone know of any solid lefties in the Sea Dogs lineup I should be watching out for tonight? And if anyone is in the area tomorrow night let me know. We won't be using the tickets.

Pawtucket is heavily overloaded with outfielders (listed in terms of most games played per position). Presumably the PawSox will need to trade/release one and obtain a middle infielder. LaMarre (CF, RF) Castillo (CF, RF, LF) Maxwell (RF, CF, LF) C.Marrero (LF, 1B, RF) Brentz (LF, RF) Craig (LF, RF) Travis (1B) M.Miller (2B, SS) D.Marrero (SS, 2B, 3B) Dominguez (3B, 1B) Witte (3B) Leon (C, 1B) Swihart (C, LF) lol, Moncada.

Aaron Wilkerson with a fantastic outing: 7.1IP 2H 0ER 2BB 8K [W]. What's the scouting report on him? Seems to have decent numbers throughout his career.

From SoxProspects.com (perhaps you've heard of it): Projects as an organizational arm. Ceiling of an emergency major league arm. Lacks a true above-average pitch and has consistently been behind the age curve due to his late signing. Has strong pitchability and a decent four-pitch mix, but his stuff will be tested by Triple-A hitters. Unlikely to be a major league contributor, but has shown can handle Double-A, and with experience should settle in as a solid Triple-A contributor.

From SoxProspects.com (perhaps you've heard of it): I've heard of them, but their scouting reports are always useless to me because it's never clear how old they are.

Just seems that his numbers have been better than the scouting report portrays him as. Heck, I'm sure he'd do better than Henry Owens if he were to start for Boston this week. (and Clay Buchholz for that matter)

How can he not have an above average pitch with a K/9 this season of over 10 and a K/9 last season of 9? Seems like one of his pitches should be at least slightly above average to elicit all of the swing and misses?

Seems like one of his pitches should be at least slightly above average to elicit all of the swing and misses? It's basically the same concept as an AAAA (Willy Mo) player except one level lower. Here's the box from his only AAA start. I saw that game (MiLB TV), he just didn't seem all that impressive. If I recall, SP had a scout there so the scouting report is probably current. www.milb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?gid=2016_04_22_lhvaaa_pawaaa_1&t=g_box&sid=milbADD: This is also his age 27 season.

I've read on twitter that he was sitting 92-93 mph in this outing and using his ch, sl a little more: Is he selling velocity for a better control and command? I prefer that exchange.

Unfortunately I wasn't watching and it appears that none of the SP scouts were at the game. Either way, if the new Sox modus operandi is actually performance based, he's clearly making a case for hopping over ERod for the current 5th slot in Boston. ADD: It's also not out of the realm of possibilities that the velocity changes could largely be a case of 2 seam vs 4 seam.

Heck, I'm sure he'd do better than Henry Owens if he were to start for Boston this week. (and Clay Buchholz for that matter) In one sentence you indicate that Wilkerson's performance in Double-A indicates some ability to pitch at the major league level, then in the following you disparage Henry Owens, who thoroughly dominated that level over 150 innings. If anything, Owens' major league struggles make a pretty clear point why you can't just assume excellent Double-A performance will carry over, as Owens was just as dominant AND had/has vastly superior stuff. ________ EDIT: Nice to see another solid outing from that other 21-year-old seventh overall draft pick in the system tonight. We're still in the super-small sample size range here, but the huge jump in his ground ball rate though these first four starts seems like it's worth paying attention to.

It's always lobster season in Maine I am flying up to Maine on Wednesday...and the annual wanton lobstah orgy is on order. It may always be lobster season but you surely have to admit there's a big difference between soft-shell and hard-shell lobsters, at least IMO. ALWAYS ask for hard shell, especially during molting season. Good to see Trey Ball not walking people. Great outing!
