8/21 Gameday Thread: Bello, Walter, Siebold, & Doctor Wu

One of my favorite parts about that shot is that he starts to pimp the home run for a split second, then realizes he's a 19 year old who hasn't earned a damn thing yet and puts his head down and starts rounding the bases. Seems like a geniunely good kid who knows his place. Extra fun to root for that.

Yorke homered again.
ADD: Yorke now OPS'ing .909....wouldn't be surprised if he's with Greenville on Tuesday.

Yorke might be #1 in the system by next year if he keeps this up. He's a damn hitting machine.

I love her call “if I’m the Red Sox what am I waiting for?”

So everyone on this board would have likely promoted Nick Yorke already. Beyond the fact that most of us are ignoramuses, what are we missing? What's the reason the Sox haven't promoted him yet? RHP/LHP splits? Fielding instruction? They like the skills coaches in Salem? Previously determined promotion schedule/dates?

New position and didn't play the infield for practically 2 years prior to that, so maybe they want him to keep developing under the same coaching staff?

This is probably a question Chris or Ian would have a chance at answering since I'm just grasping at straws with it, but I wonder if they distribute their player dev coaches a little more heavily in Salem than at other full-season levels since it's the "first" full-season affiliate and represents a pretty massive jump from complex league ball.

My expectations for this kid have officially entered the ridiculous zone and why not. Trout was drafted 25th, it happens.

Yorke has definitely leapfrogged Gilberto in my book

There's the back issue. He's playing well but we don't know how much treatment he's getting for that.
But I've been talking about his promotion like it was imminent for weeks now so don't look at me.

That was a 26-second trot around the bases by Yorke. He will need to speed that up a little or some pitcher is going to take offense.

I mentioned before and just curious if anyone has perspective, how much does not wanting to upend a kid with just a few weeks in the season (knowing what we know about MiLB living costs, leases etc) impact promotions? Granted Yorke has money to figure it out, but I wonder that since he's starting in Greenville no matter what next year, why bother. Next year is the year for the mid-season promotion if he rakes and pushes to AA in my mind.
