5/12 Gameday Thread: PawSox & Sea Dogs are Haviland a Ball

That was about the only reservation I had, and he's pushing that aside at this point. What it likely means is that he's quick to adjust to what they'll give him. Since he's pounding AA pitching, they're giving him less and he's taking it. There will be a lot of pressure to bring him up.

Take tonight for example. Who would you have rather had coming up for the Sox with two on and two out, Rutledge or Devers? That's not to talk down the former who's a useful utility guy, just an acknowledgement that Devers is already a dangerous hitter at the tender age of 20. He's knocking on the door, and while they probably won't let him in just yet, he will round out that lineup nicely at some point.
