Interesting Shaw to AAA. Wonder what this means for the Lavarnway experiment at first.

Interesting Shaw to AAA. Wonder what this means for the Lavarnway experiment at first. With Lavarnway moving up I think he will be part of series of trades (probably minor) in the next week or two. Ben would like to see Lavarnway have a couple of good games and show he can handle 1st in the majors. The promotions are just the start. The upheaval of the complete 25 and 40 man rosters will be significant. I was hoping for a slightly better performance by Workman yesterday as, I believe, it is rehearsal time for the rotation, pen, and several positions going forward. When you look at the positional players on the 25 man, only Pedey and Xander are completely safe. The rotation could easily see 3 changes....maybe not all at once. It is close to time to see if the kids in Pawtucket have what it takes. By mid-season, there are several candidates who could be DFA'd, traded, or DL. I wouldn't be surprised if Rubby, Ranando, and Webster all get multiple chances in the days ahead in the rotation. If by game 81 things haven't turned around drastically, I'm for these guys getting their opportunity. |

Lavarnway can't handle hitting in AAA, let alone hitting well enough as a 1B in the majors.
I just hope Shaw doesn't get sent back down after Napoli returns. If they don't just release Lavarnway, sending him down to AA behind Shaw is a better move.

Which is why Ellsbury, Drew, Saltalamacchia etc walked and were replaced by. . . AJ Pierzynski. |

There's just about zero chance this happens. They don't demote prospects just because of a roster crunch, and Shaw is probably more of a prospect than Lavarnway at this point. |

So it'll be time to say bye to Lavarnway or Snyder? We will need a 40-man spot soon when Wright comes off rehab. |

Because Wright is definitely worth more than Lavarnway right?
Let's just say the "lavarnwayguy" disagrees!
( I'm starting to look at this like a role playing game like I have a 1 armed dwarf to play who attacks orcs at every opportunity, no matter what the odds! ).
Ryan has hit .333 over his last 7 games. That's a little bit of an uptick. Maybe there is a chance he has a few mlb hits in the next week or 2 and gets a flyer with another mlb team as the back up catcher / 1st base depth. He is still dirt cheap.

Results good/ results bad, it doesn't matter, listening or watching knuckleball pitchers sucks.

Shaw in the lineup tonight. Seems they also promoted Wilkerson to AAA. He is playing center.

There was an excuse/reason to use one for him when they had people of the ilk as Justin Germano and Brandon Duckworth floating around as emergency starters for Boston, but that is hardly the case any longer. About the last thing the team needs is near 30YO project knuckleballers on the 40 man roster with as many legit and actually young SP they have at both Portland and Pawtucket. |

Ranaudo out but had another nice outing. Since the fourth start when Speier reported the return of his velocity, Ranaudo has a 1.84 ERA. Edit: Correction, 4th start. |

Ranaudo also had a 4/4 K/BB in the game. Trade bait.

Blake Swihart now up to .800 OPS as a 22 yo legit catcher in AA ... solid. His BB% is pretty low, but hey, so is his K%. Have to like how he's developing.
