Devers will rehab at Lowell.
He won't be the oldest player on the team.
ADD: LOL, I'm a sick puppy, 1 1/2 hours sleep and it's late but had to look. 14 of his listed teammates are older than Devers.

I meant to quote this one Devers will be expected to pay for dinner after game LOL, been there, done that but usually try to delete before anyone notices. And haha, I'm close to 24 hours after a 1 1/2 hour sleep (I'm 12 hours time different). One of the bennies of retirement. |

Highest percent of FB+LD rate in the system: Dalbec 66%, Northcut 61%, Howlett 61% I love the new era of launch angles. I'm so glad Ted Williams won over Walt Hreniak. |

That style had virtually the entire late 70's Sox team using it, except for Jim Rice and Evans might not have ever reclaimed his career without it. Yaz even used it. Geddy just might have been an outlier. |

Some fellow named Devers with a homer for Lowell. I think this kid might make it. Just a feeling.

Actually his name is Walt Hriniak. I believe his predecessor as a hitting guru was the old K.C. Royals hitting coach Charlie Lau. Who mentored George Brett . As far as I recall from back in the 70's and 80's Sox teams, Hriniak came along in the 80's and yes Boggs was his primary disciple but I could have sworn that Dwight Evans towards the latter end of his career became a disciple as well. I could have sworn he adopted that funky hitting stance that was the rage back them. Just saying. Don't mean to belabor the whole discussion here.

Long time ago and agree it's not worth a bunch of discussion. Hriniak came to the team not as the hitting coach, but did work with some of the players on hitting and the Lau theory. Later on, when it proved viable to more and more players he was promoted to hitting coach, but i do remember Yaz especially using that distinctive toe tap well before the 80's and easy to see when Evans began using it.. He began to hit after nearly 10 seasons of mediocrity and different batting stances, sometimes changing each at bat during a single game. |

Highest percent of FB+LD rate in the system: Dalbec 66%, Northcut 61%, Howlett 61% Northcut only with 12.5% LDs though. Still he's been pretty solid. Howlett has been great though. Definitely better than advertised, especially for a 27th rounder. He has barely hit the ball on the ground at all (17.6%), but there has been a lot of popups at their expense too. Hopefully Decker looks legit too. Mix those 3 in with Casas and that's a lot of firepower from 2018's draft class. |

Add Antoni Flores and Danny Diaz from DSL and you've got some very interesting players to keep an eye on. |
