I have not looked deeply into Poyner's numbers at Pawtucket but his 3.14 ERA suggest his stretches of getting killed must have been fairly brief. In fact as he is a relief pitcher (not a lot of innings) the fact he got absolutely killed during some stretch of time might indicate he as a whole pitched far better than his 3.14 ERA indicates. It is not an uncommon argument that if a person throws out a couple of particularly bad games a players stat line looks at lot better. And again. 3.14 is not bad. If we're cherry picking, in statistics limited to two spaces right of the decimal 3.14 is good as pie.

I'm guessing that the Sox have, wait for it, scouting.
