I know minor league W-L records should be taken with a grain of salt, but hard not to see Portland’s play thus far as a very positive sign of health for the Sox system.

I care less about the record (not that you're wrong to care about it) and more about the fact that Portland is far and away the most prospect-loaded it's been in a long, long while IMO. Typically Portland and Worcester have a couple exciting prospects here and there, but is mostly question marks and MLFA signings. Now pretty much every Portland lineup has 6 or 7 ranked guys on it. Worcester, on the other hand, is a good example of what the "norm" usually looks like. Wilyer Abreu has been super interesting, David Hamilton is certainly intriguing, but after that it's a bunch of vets or semi-known quantities. I'd say the rotation is much more interesting than normal, especially with the addition of Drohan, but sadly most of the other guys (Murphy/Mata/Walter) are seeing their stocks fall to varying degrees this year. |

Yeah agree. Outside of Abreu and Drohan, the Worcester roster is just a glorified taxi squad. |

Nick Yorke’s July is going to be something for the ages: Wait till he gets completely confortable with his new mechanics, stop expanding even more than he’s doing now and just flat out dominate on his way for a promotion to Worcester.
Kid’s born to hit.

Should I be reading something into Brandon Walter coming in as a reliever tonight I believe they just used an opener. Still interesting. |
