Littell looked like he doesn’t have a put away pitch

Just one of those utterly forgettable games. They happen. Time to move on.

Just think this is a holdover team. The kids they’re still waiting on. Can you imagine right now Kiké is playing short. Ok , now slide in Mayer. I Wow. I literally can’t wait til we have Mayer @ SS by the end of next year as well as Drohan in the rotation. This team is just gonna get better and better. I don’t tend to follow the prospects very closely and usually just stick to the game threads. However, I know I am in the right place to ask this question: I see Drohan is completely unhittable in AA. He’s also 24 years old. Why is he not being discussed as a potential starter for the Sox? Even if he’s just on a hot streak, that seems to be a guy you’d want to get up ASAP to see if it can carry over.

They discussed this on the last podcast; I guess Drohan’s changeup is only a year old, and his cutter is new as of this offseason. So he’s a guy who went from a below average/average velo two pitch pitcher to an average/above average velo four pitch pitcher in the span of 12 months. You would want to see him continue to develop the newer pitches, etc.
I think Walter came up (to AAA) around late May/early June last year. I was wondering if there was some similarity here since AA hitters were also completely overmatched by that older lefty with a ridiculously low walk rate. Since his velo and command have both backed up this year, I hope that’s where any comparison to Drohan’s start would end. Drohan could have ended up in Boston if it were last July, with basically the entire rotation on the DL. He’s behind like 10+ guys right now. Sure seems like it’s time to get him to Worcester, though.
