Ok but what about Aldo? MiLB has Brandon Walter starting this game. Did his start just get moved back? This would be 2 turns in a row he missed.
Add: Well I can’t complain too much about Walter getting the start. 4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 BB, 9 (!) Ks

With three days until the start of the FCL season, I think this thread deserves a bump and a few questions.
Which player are you most excited for?
Which non-top 20 prospect (no Bonaci or Jordan) do you think pops and has the best season?
Which pitcher do you think separates themselves from the pack?
For me I'd think this:
I've always been a huge Bonaci fan from his earliest days in the DSL. I think it'll be interesting to see how he responds to a little more eyes on him. I think he could end the year in the top 10 with a good FCL season.
Outside of the top-20, I think Darel Belen is going to be a solid prospect all the way through the system. He's a little on the older side, but the reports and stats (DSL stats, but still stats) have always looked good. Plus raw power, good K and BB numbers, and most importantly to me, he hit equally as well against lefties and righties in the DSL. I'm a fan.
I'm going to cop out of the third question and give three names: Cruz, De La Rosa, and Gonzalez. I'm a sucker for a projectible young arm with good raw talent. If I had to pick one guy out of the three, I'd probably go with Cruz.

Gunnar Hogland fell out of Round 1 in BAs most recent draft. It's one mock and there's a long way between 29 and 40, but would you take Hogland at 40 if he slips that far? To me, that would be a no-brainer.

Pedroia was always my favorite Red Sox player. I remember the first time I ever saw him play was during his cup of coffee in 2006. He was this young kid playing 2B and hitting below .200 but I loved the energy he played the game with. I decided then and there that he was my favorite player and he ended up being one of the best 2B in Red Sox history.

Nick Sogard hit his 5th HR of the year to tie the game. Hitting .265/.343/.453/.796 with 5 2B, 1 3B, and 5 HRs. He’s had a rough June compared to his hot start to the year, but overall he’s had a pretty solid year. 14.7% strikeout rate, 10.9% walk rate and hasn’t made an error all season while playing 2B, 3B, and SS. His profile says no power projection, but if he developed some power over the last year or so, then he could have an MLB utility infielder future. He turns 24 at the end of the season so he’s not young for High-A but he’s also not super old.

Matthew Lugo has reached base five times tonight (3 singles and 2 walks). He’s only 20 years old but has really struggled to hit for power so far. He only has 4 XBH on the year (2 2B, 1 3B, and 1 HR) but hasn’t hit an XBH since May 25th.

Yorke vs Casas would be an interesting argument. I’d give the edge to Casas because I believe he’s going to be a truly special hitter in the MLB (Freddie Freeman comp has always looked good to me). That being said, Yorke is definitely no slouch. Yorke has taken an aggressive assignment and hit extremely well after his slow start and only seems to be getting better. He also hasn’t had a single at bat against a pitcher younger than him. I think Casas will be the better hitter overall, but Yorke could be a pretty special hitter too if he keeps developing and puts on a little muscle.

Cam Cannon is riding a 13 game hitting streak dating back to June 5th. In that stretch, he is 20-60 (.333) with 5 2B and only 3 strikeouts.

Wu-Yelland with 4 perfect innings today: 4IP 0H 0ER 0BB 4K Followed by Aaron Perry who’s had an interesting start to the year. First three games: 7.2 IP, 13 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 16 Ks. 7.88 ERA, 2.09 WHIP, 18.78 K/9. Didn’t pitch from 5/16 to 5/28. Last 6 games: 8.2 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 3 BB, 9 Ks. 0.00 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, 9.35 K/9

So Politi and German both pitched for Portland today. Politi got the start and was hit around. 2.1 IP, 4 H, 5 BB, 5 ER, 4 Ks. Politi has really struggled over the first month plus. 7.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP
German came in and pitched 3 innings of relief from the 4th to the 6th. Did pretty good. One run on 3 hits (solo home run), 4 Ks, no walks. I’m assuming with the off day tomorrow and the rain out yesterday, they just wanted both guys to pitch today.

Was wondering with Aldo earlier if/how they’re going to monitor his innings this year. His career high was 61 innings in 2019 and he’s coming off a year with no game action. He’s already at 31 innings, so is this a load management thing or is there an injury we didn’t hear about?

Cody Scroggins is a guy that’s going to need a promotion sooner rather than later. 0.90 ERA in 20 innings with 20 Ks to 9 walks. 24 years old and a college draftee from a big program. So far he’s completely outmatching low-A hitters.

Rosario was pulled early from the game. Nishioka pinch hit for him in the 7th inning. Can’t find an explanation in the game log. He popped out in the fifth and nothing was hit his way after that.

Eduardo Lopez up to Salem. Bandy also was sent down to Salem. Nice! I’ll be hitting a bunch of Salem games in a couple of weeks when they come back to Fredericksburg.

Ideally you’d like to see Groshans get up to Greenville at some point this year but there’s actually a catcher logjam really which is new:
Worcester: 4 catchers-#2 catching prospect (Wong) and 2 MLB vets (Bandy and Hermann). Madden is there too but he’s an org guy
Portland: 3 catchers-#1 catching prospect (Hernandez), best arm in the system (Pereda), and Roldani Baldwin
Greenville: 3 catchers-#3 catching prospect (Kottam), best overall defensive catcher (A. Marrero), another good defensive catcher (E. Marrero).
Barring injuries or trades, I don’t really see a path moving upwards for Jaxx. For a college guy that’s currently in low-A, not the best career path. That’s fine though. Him and Joe Davis are doing their job in Salem. Not really any reason to push them up.
If he does get promoted soon, where does the playing time come from?

Houck is supposed to be pitching 2 innings I believe today. The Woo Sox have pitched Gonsalves behind an opener the last two times through, so I wonder if they use Houck as the opener.
