What’s the over/under on the Mayer move to Worcester? How about 30 days?
He has already had over 300 ABs at Portland. He had a good April. And he is doing even better in May. He is going up at some point. Why wait to July?

I'll take the over on that, though it's probably the right line. I wouldn't expect a promotion until at least the late June timeframe. I doubt they want him up in Boston, at least until the tail-end of the year, from a service time standpoint, but the earlier he gets promoted to Worcester, the more pressure there is to promote him again. Letting him enjoy some sustained success after an injury-plagued year while he continues to work on hitting lefties and cutting his whiff rate makes sense to me.

Juan Valera starting for the FCL Red Sox. I'm gonna guess Monegro pitched a sim game yesterday to keep him on a six-day schedule. |

FCL Red Sox get walked off. Cespedes with his first two-hit game of the season.
EDIT: or maybe they didn't get walked off? The box score now says the Red Sox won.

Letting him enjoy some sustained success after an injury-plagued year while he continues to work on hitting lefties and cutting his whiff rate makes sense to me. He’s been great but I think he still has some things he can work on in Portland. He hasn’t been walking much, he has a 51% GB rate, and continued work on breaking pitches would be helpful too. One he really starts mashing I’ll be more eager to see him in AAA, but I think it would be reasonable to keep him in Portland for the majority of the season or even the entire year. |

He is going up at some point. Why wait to July? The only HS draftee to make the Red Sox recently has been Casas (I think?). He got 77 games at AA when he was 21 in 2021, then 81 games in AAA, with most of those coming in 2022 before getting promoted in September that year when he was 22. He also lost all of 2020 due to COVID though, so who knows what his timeline would have been without that. Mayer is currently at 74 career AA games.
I do wonder how the Sox view Mayer's time in Portland last year internally. Are they just throwing it out? From a developmental standpoint, how does Mayer's time in Portland as a 20 year old compare to Casas' time at the alternate site as a 20 year old? I would think Mayer's experience in Portland last year was still valuable despite the numbers not being there.

Gutierrez opening for Uwasawa tonight.
Based on the rotation, presumably Hagenman piggybacks Uwasawa.

Why does the Oat Milkers sound so much dirtier than its supposed to be.
I feel like that was the name of the all female fan club for John Oats.

We’ve jinxed Mayer. 0-2. K and ground out. Same line for Yorke, btw.
Lugo looking for some love. 400/foot+ blast to CF scoring Teel who walked just in front of him. Wikelman through three with no runs allowed.

Wow, Uwasawa and Gutierrez have 16 base runners through 6 innings. They are not much depth for Boston. Hopefully Winckowski can get his mojo back.
