Looks like Campana was demoted to Greenville. Taken off the Salem roster and his MiLB page now says Greenville.

With a light schedule I hope you'll forgive me a little diversion! Easter games always make me think of shooting the PawSox in Rochester on Easter in 2011. In addition to being Easter, it was cold and rainy  so the number of folks who showed up to the game was very small and the number who stayed after the pregame "Easter egg hunt" was even smaller.  Early in the game Josh Reddick (clearly already enjoying the day as dressed above) popped up to the infield, and as he burst from the batter's box he barked out his displeasure with a loud F-bomb--which happens not infrequently on the field, but there's usually a bit of background noise to disguise it. Not that day. Later in the game, searching for between-innings entertainment for the 70 people at the ballpark who weren't being paid for it, one of the Red Wings staff was interviewing two little boys near the Red Wings dugout. She asked one what his favorite part of the game had been. "A Pawtucket player? He made an out! And then he said the F word!!" Reddick and his wife announced today on Instagram that they are expecting twins (I won't outright ruin the gender reveal but Pedroia's wife might have some advice for poor Jett), so it all comes around in the end. If you celebrate, Happy Easter! Blast from the Past gallery |

Duran with his 1st HR of the year. Duran's hit tool looks like it could be special. We will find out when he hits Portland and maybe Pawtucket this year though. |

Duran might make letting JBJ walk an easy decision. Anyone know how his defense is looking in CF?

Really have liked what I've seen from Duran this weekend. However, his hit tool is not "special" by any means. A guy with 70 speed who can hit a little is going to get on at a good clip in the low minors because defenses aren't good enough to deal with the speed. He's a good player though and will be in my own top 10 when we do the May 1 rankings. |

Promote him, cut Thornburg. The Sox need him. He would be the third best arm in this bullpen right now.

Erasmo was outrighted too. Headed back to AAA. Dombrowski won the bet of losing him to waivers.

As Ian said on the podcast we recorded yesterday, his stuff is still concerningly not where it was last year. Better than ST, but still not where he was previously. I'd leave him. And OTOH, a scout I was talking with the other day surprisingly said he really liked what he saw from Thornburg in a recent outing. Liked the stuff and said he thought he'd figure it out. Take that for what it's worth. |
