Garin Cecchini up to .353/.450/.559 for a tidy OPS of 1.009. And Sean Coyle still sporting a ridiculous slugging of .761.
Still well shy of the time where we're supposed to take top-line hitting stats more seriously, though. But the K and BB numbers are good for Cecchini, especially ...

Maier to the Pawtucket DL with a wrist injury today, and JHaze just left the PawSox game with an apparent wrist injury.
Hissey was placed on the Portland DL today.
McCarthy and Yunior Ortega shipped back to their respective teams (Salem and Greenville, respectively).

Matt Barnes, WTF?

Another walk for Vazquez. Maybe it's because he's a catcher, but he seems to have almost supernatural pitch recognition. If the Sox are lucky, he's cut out of the same cloth as Sal Bando, a very under-appreciated catcher who had that knack for getting on base. Whether Vazquez ever become the extra-base machine Bando was is another matter. But he really seems to know what he's looking at. Edit: Check that, it was Gene Tenace I was meaning to refer to, the catcher for the Oakland championship teams in the 1970s. He and Bando were very similar in their styles: good power and an amazing number of walks. |

Too early to be concerned about Barnes?

Too early to be concerned about Barnes? I don't think so. You're now looking at a pitcher who hasn't really dominated since he was crushing 19 year olds in Greenville. |

Whether Vazquez ever become the extra-base machine Bando was is another matter. But he really seems to know what he's looking at. Working walks against minor league pitching doesn't necessarily equate to great pitch recognition and/or future success at higher levels. You're not going to see ball four in the majors if you can't sting a ball well enough to scare pitchers; or it could just be the Che Hsuan Lin passive approach thing. That said, it hasn't been JUST walks; he's kept the Ks down and shown a some doubles power, and when you're talking about a good defensive catcher, it's hard not to get excited about any signs of life offensively. |

Garin Cecchini 2/4 with a triple. Scouts have loved his offensive potential and I think this is his breakout season.

Exactly why I don't give a F, what a guy does prior to AA |

I seem to recall that a number of pitchers had a rough start in AA, Ranaudo, Britton, Pimentel, Kelly. I can't recall how Workman did in his 5 starts last year.

You still don't get it, right? This is all a bad plot so my main man Keith Couch can keep on relieving him and being just a fantastic pitcher. I don't remember the exact numbers, but it feels like Couch had 259 K's today. |

Kolbrin Vitek played 2B last night. Start of something new or just a one time thing?

Barnes fastball looks flat and all his pitches are grabbing to much of the plate.

Travis Shaw has a 25% BB rate! I really don't know what kind of hitter he is. Even the God of walk had 18% walk rate for his minor career. |
