good Aaron Perry got activated. I keep waiting for Brock Bell and that other kid Blalock. They have interesting arms on the mend. ALso Song.

Casas: 1st at bat : vs a LHP: He strikes out. 2nd at bat: vs a RHP He hits a bomb to LCF. The numbers vs lefties are definitely a worry but to me the HR numbers are not a worry. The guys the size of a moose and I've seen him hit plenty of deep moonshots. Will he be a constant 40+HR type of guy? Probably not but I think he'll be 20+ hr with a good on base numbers and 35-40 doubles or so a year. A guy doesn't need to hit 40 hrs a year to be an 800+ ops type of guy which I think Casas settles in at. |

I'm not trying to set unrealistic expectations; I'd just like to see that the window is still open to hitting his ceiling (to horribly mangle that metaphor).
I'm still interested in hearing theories/explanations for why the homers haven't really manifested yet...

Well he now has 11 through about 259 triple A ABs and a healthy full season is about 600+ ABs so like I said he's probably more of a 20-30 HR type of hitter or so it seems to me anyway. Perhaps he could afford to add a little more uppercut to his swing but either way its not as if he doesn't hit the ball really hard when he gets ahold of it. |

No, I don't want him to sell out for power. He'll get his HR's, a lot of those doubles he hits will start carrying. He needs the reps and to stay healthy and he'll be fine either as a trade piece or as a guy who man's first in Fenway for the next decade. |

I very much agree and personally give me the guy that man's first for the next 6 years on the cheap. I'd be a little sad if they dealt him tho he could be the main piece in a deal that brings back a very good established major leaguer I would imagine. |
