Paulino hasn't played yet either. I can't find an update on his injury but it's clearly worse than a typical 7 day DL. Zeferjahn has done well so far: 7.2 ip, 2.35 era, 1bb/8k in 5 games. Vargas: 4 games, 3 gs, 18.0 ip, 2.50 era, 9bb/20k. Portes: 4 games, 2 gs, 5.0 ip, 14.40 era, 10bb/9k. Brutal. Yorke: 91 PA, .370/.422/.484 7bb/15k. .448 BAbip, but also a 35.4% LD%. Batista: 2 games, 2 gs, 7.0 ip, 1.29 era, 2bb/9k. Kavadas has been covered enough. Coffey: 74 PA, .167/.311/.267, 11bb/19k. Bolivar: 45 PA, .205/.311/.256, 6bb/8k. Weins: 10 games, 2.20 era, 16.1 ip, 7bb/28k. (62 BF). 45.2% K%.

Zeferjahn made his MLB debut today.
1.0 ip, 3ks. Still in progress.
edit: 1.2 ip, 1 hit, 2 er, 4k/2bb, hbp. 32 pitches, 8 swinging strikes. All 4k were swinging.

Zeferjahn inherited a 2-2 count and got a strike out on his first pitch, which means he holds some kind of record.
Now if he had recorded that strikeout on a batter time violation then he could feel safe that it would never be broken.

Looks like we kept the right Coffey. Both from the same draft class, IIRC.
Will we find out later that it was another Luis A. Basabe situation?

Angels going back to the well of former Red Sox prospects: Ryan Miller, a Minor League R5 pick last winter who had spent a year in the Sox system after they Rule 5'd him from the Yankees, was called up and made his debut yesterday. He'd been very good for Salt Lake this year.

I know you're obviously kidding, but I remember asking someone in the FO about the Basabe story and they basically said they heard the same thing (they obviously couldn't confirm what Arizona was thinking) and my mind was blown.

I know you're obviously kidding, but I remember asking someone in the FO about the Basabe story and they basically said they heard the same thing (they obviously couldn't confirm what Arizona was thinking) and my mind was blown. What is the story? Did they trade for the wrong one? Maybe not quite the wrong one, but for those who weren't around then, gather 'round the campfire... In late August 2012, the Red Sox signed Venezuelan twins Luis Alexander (an OF) and Luis Alejandro (IF) Basabe for matching $450k bonuses on their 16th birthday (which is why they didn't sign on July 2). They were very raw athletes, hailing from a part of the country that's more into soccer than baseball and having only just started playing the game a year or so before signing, such that both repeated the DSL. LAX (versus LAJ) quickly became the better prospect though, getting a midyear promotion to the GCL in 2014, making his first appearance in the very back of the SP60 that August. In 2015, he went to Lowell and looked like a sleeper, eventually rising into the top 20 in October then top 10 in November in what I'm guessing was a strong Instructs look (plus the Kimbrel trade moving guys from in front of him...), if not a strong late-season push in Lowell. LAJ meanwhile was pretty Meh in the GCL. In 2016, both break camp with Low-A Greenville. Although LAX is still very much the better prospect, LAJ might be a guy now too, jumping into the top 40 from our ST look. LAJ even winds up putting up better numbers than LAX such that he's ranked 18th in our July 2016 update with LAX down a bit to 11. The story goes that Arizona asked for him in the Brad Ziegler trade perhaps thinking they were asking for the brother who was the consensus better prospect, but not realizing that the numbers didn't match the scouting consensus. IIRC, when the LAJ Basabe and Jose Almonte (unranked but formerly ranked and probably on the fringes) package for Ziegler seemed a bit light, we joked that they must've gotten the brothers crossed up. We then heard through the grapevine later that may have been what happened. When I asked someone many years later about it, I definitely didn't get the "lol no of course not" I thought we were going to get. LAX, of course, winds up being the third player in the Sale trade, after Dombrowski declines (in a very obvious response that he often gets too much credit for) to include Devers after the headliners, Moncada and Kopech. Dombrowski also declines to include young Bryan Mata, instead adding Victor Diaz, in one he probably does deserve some credit for. LAJ predictably craters after the trade to Arizona, only barely reaching Double-A. LAX became a top 100 prospect, played in the Futures Game, and made his MLB debut with the Giants in 2020 but never got back after his 9-game cup of coffee. Fun note: the Basabes aren't even the slam-dunk winner of best-named twins he Red Sox ever signed. Their competition is September 2017 Venezuelan IFA signings Angel De Jesus and Jesus Angel Maita, whose parents appear to have been a little religious.

Casey Kelly DFA by the Reds Do it!!!!! Put the claim in!!! Casey Kelly was 68-37 with an ERA around 3.00 for the 5 seasons he was in Asia. I wonder how well he did there pay wise? USA: Signing bonus $3,000,000 Approximately $3,300,000 total pay for years pitched in USA Total in USA - $6,300,000 approximately…he has been pretty much MLB minimum while pitching in the USA.

Presuming Wikipedia is right, although there are links if you just Google it and have time to verify...
$1m in 2019 $1.5m in 2020 $1.4m in 2021 $1.2m in 2022 $1.8m in 2023 (although I saw links that zzz was an "up to" number, so dunno if he hit those incentives) Signed for $1.5m this year but unclear how much he got.

Thanks Chris. It looks like Casey Kelley indeed did do much better in Asia than he would have in the US. That is pretty nice career earnings (in the neighborhood of $13,000,000 for his career).

Nick Yorke update:
With Red Sox AAA: 169 PA, .898 OPS, 137 wRC+ With Pirates' AAA: 121 PA, .899 OPS, 135 wRC+
That's some consistency (but a lower walk rate and higher BA/BABIP with the Pirates). It's interesting that he's kept up a much higher level in AAA across 290 PAs now than he managed in AA (.691 OPS, 100 wRC+ in 197 PAs).

What hasn’t been consistent is his defensive position. After playing just 2B and LF with Boston he’s become Mr Versatility with Pittsburgh. He’s also played 3B, RF and shockingly SS and CF. I have no idea what they are doing playing a fringy 2B all over the place.

Yes, so Yorke can be mediocre at multiple positions.
