10 am start time? Yikes. Box says attendance of 6,556. I sincerely doubt that the actual attendance crept over 1,000.

I'm just seeing it for the first time now, but that Raudes windup is something else.

Michael Chavis with two homers already tonight. He's in the sixth inning of his fourth game of the season, and he's up to 16 total bases. 1.231 SLG.

Aaron McFarling @aaronmcfarling 1h1 hour ago Red Sox prospect Michael Chavis 2 dongs tonight -- exit velocities of 114 mph and 115 mph. Stanton territory. Hit dong last nite, too. Aaron McFarling@aaronmcfarling 1h1 hour ago Spoke with Chavis last night and he said he once took BP from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., stopping only to eat. He loves nothing more than hitting. |

Just thinking out loud here... but we've talked a lot, especially since the Sale trade about the lack of depth in the system. And it's not a deep system, but there have been a lot of good early returns among the second tier prospects: Ockimey, Chavis, Lakins, Anderson, Taylor, Brian Johnson. Brandon Workman, too, even though he's officially a post-prospect. And yeah, you can make the argument pretty easily that all of those pitchers were placed at a level that they should be showing success (save for Taylor who has been moved aggressively). Still, it's been nice seeing some production from the 8-20 range in the system that I was feeling pretty pessimistic about very recently.

Coming into the year I kept thinking that Chavis was a post-hype breakout guy. Was having a decent year before injury last year, 1st rounder. Hope he has a full and productive season. A breakout from him, and a pitcher or two, the system starts to look a lot less barren.

Can he go on a Mookie type run through the minors?

Can he go on a Mookie type run through the minors? Mookie went from his Greenville debut to the majors faster than Chavis went from Greenville debut to Salem. |

I'm sure GMs around the game with 1-inning relievers to dump are taking notice

That's great. I think the way the catcher backhand-stabbed at it made it look a liiittle further inside than it was, but that's nit-picky. Getting that sort of extension on that pitch is pretty sweet. |

There's also just something inherently bad ass about banging a walk-off off the scoreboard

I remember being stunned when Chavis had the most impressive BP on that loaded 2015 Greenville team that included Moncada, Devers, Longhi, Dubon, Guerra, and others. But he's had a hard time translating it in-game - that same series, he looked absolutely lost during his at-bats, as he was taking gangsta hacks at everything before finally shortening up in the last inning in a key at-bat.
After hitting 3 HR in his first 9 games that year, he was basically lost until July, which signals to me that he got a little pull happy and was trying to hit everything out. If he can just go up there with a plan and not try to kill it, he could become very interesting.
That said, he also has lots of work to do at third base as well, so regarding his making any type of run through multiple levels, that ain't happening. Let's be thrilled if he's in Portland at the end of the year showing he might be ready for Pawtucket next year.
