On the roster page, specifically Lowell I assume the YTDs should be YTRs ?

No. Those are players who have not debuted. YTD is in the legend I think, right?
YTR is when the Red Sox option a guy and they can keep him in roster limbo for a few days before he reports to AAA.

From the legend on the same page:
YTD: June 16, 2018 (DSL)
YTR: Yet to Officially Report to Team

YTD: Yet to debut. We've been using it for years.

OK makes sense but why the reference to DSL ?
Actually, I was looking to see if Feltman had reported yet and just hadn't been used. There's essentially no way to tell.

If they're on the roster they're on the roster. There's no "yet to report" for Lowell. That's what I was trying to say - "Yet to report" is an optioned from MLB thing. Is he physically in Lowell or not? Don't know. I'd assume so if he's on the roster. DSL reference was meant to be, I think, the last time YTD was checked for that. |

MiLB has Houck as tonight’s starter in Salem. Glad to see him back to what made him good.

Salem rotation coming out of the break is Houck/Darwinzon/Gonzalez/Mata/Thompson.
Greenville apparently going Requena/De Jesus/Diaz/Reyes/Crawford

Brian Brown getting the start tonight for Lowell according to their Twitter account. I would expect to see Juan Perez piggyback with him with the amount of innings that Brown has thrown this year.

Damn, Kyle Hart is getting rocked. Only gotten one out and already given up 5 runs on six line drive hits. He’s been unhittable lately. Baseball is weird.

Buttrey didn’t have the greatest game, but he’s really been on a bit of a roll. He’s still whiffing over 14/9, and his walk rate is acceptable. I’ve really gotta think they’d wanna give him a look before they make any moves for relievers come July. He’s got terrific stuff and it’s showing up with results. Also, since I didn’t really have anywhere else to put it, it looks like the Sox have a SP sleeper in Lowell. Nice to see an exciting scouting report on a guy who appears to have some upside with a couple of potentially Plus pitches: www.fangraphs.com/blogs/daily-prospect-notes-6-20/ |

Also, Tanner Nishioka with his first HR. Yeah, he’s old for low A, but he’s putting up terrific numbers as a (smart...Pomona-Pitzer’s a great school) DIII Sr sign. A guy I’m really, really rooting for.

I’ve really gotta think they’d wanna give him a look before they make any moves for relievers come July. He’s got terrific stuff and it’s showing up with results. Buttrey seemed to have this problem where he'd unravel - I don't know whether it was a composure thing or just more of a mechanics thing when pitching with runners on base - but that seems just to have totally ended. He gave up a pair of singles tonight, but clearly was able to just keep pounding the strike zone, 20 of 29 pitches for strikes. I don't necessarily think you pass on trading for someone good because he's waiting in the wings, but I do think there's a chance he's the next guy up for an injury replacement and he makes it hard for them to send him down. On the other end of the spectrum, he's also someone who has had hot streaks in the past but has had trouble sustaining them. You always want to hope This Time Is Different TM but if they see him as a sell-high candidate, that might not be crazy. |

Yeah, I remember him having an anger/frustration incident this year (or was it last?). I’m not really saying they should forgo a trade, should a palatable option arise at reasonable cost. More just that i think they ought to see what they have before making such a move. Given the general fungibility of most but the premier relief arms, and the volatility of the group (not to mention the sadly shallow farm), internal options deserve adequate assessment first. |
