NORWICH, Conn. - So much for any thoughts
about the Portland Sea Dogs going undefeated and the
Connecticut Defenders going winless. (continued...)
PAWTUCKET, R.I. - Bartolo Colon delivered a major
league performance Thursday night while pitching for the Pawtucket
Red Sox in their International League opener against the Indianapolis Indians. (continued...)
With out further ado, here is the 2008
roster for the Lancaster Jethawks: Pitchers (13) Travis Beazley
T.J. Large Jason Blackey (continued...)
The Portland Press Herald is reporting the 2008
Portland Seadogs rosters, so I will as well (keep
in mind, this is not completely certain and some of the players are subject to change): Pitchers (12) Justin Masterson (continued...)
Here is the 25-man roster for the Drive
when their season starts on Thursday: Pitchers (12) Nick
Hagadone Ryan Colvin (continued...)
The only thing I have talked about in
regards to Austin Bailey is that I don’t like
him as much as Huntzinger and Britton. You probably haven’t heard much about Bailey, since he was a 16th round selection out of High School, so here is a little more about Bailey. (continued...)
It is extremely early in the signing period
but the Red Sox have already signed four players.
Those players are Luis Bastardo (RHP), Heiker Meneses (SS), Felix Sanchez (OF), and Hayato Doue (C). I’m sad to say that I have had trouble digging up information on any of these players. (continued...)
As the time goes by, it looks more
and more like the final roster spot in Boston
is coming down to Brandon Moss and Chris Carter. Both players are having strong springs, have had impressive minor league careers, have defensive flexibilities, and sport major league bats. First things first, here is a look at how they are doing this spring (continued...)
Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe mentioned today
that Bryan Corey is contemplating heading to Japan if
he does not make the Major League squad. The article also mentioned that the O’s have been scouting him, presumably for their Major League Team. This would not be the first time for Corey in Japan. In 2004, Corey spent the season pitching for the Yomiuri Giants. (continued...)
I'm looking for some help. Are there any
Fantasy Baseball or stats guru's out there? If so,
and are willing to give me some help, drop me a line at rsoripwa@gmail.com. I've been trying to do figure out the best way to rank players and assess their value but i'm not sure if i'm heading in the right direction. So if you can help give me an e-mail.
Today in his chat, Jim Callis mentioned that
he felt if teams spent between five and seven
extra million dollars on the draft it would lead to drafts that yield seven elite prospects. This got me to think, “Could this possibly be true?” In short, yes this is very true. If teams started taking money and time away from Free Agency and using it to the Draft they would be much better off....
Stolmy Pimentel is either a player you drool
over or you have never heard of. He was
the 2007 Latin Program Pitcher of the Year and well as a DSL all star. The recently turned 18 year old is something of a man child. Stand at 6′3″ 185 lbs (continued...)
Here is my plea. I have set myself
the goal of have 100 people subscribe to my
site by the time the season ends. For a big site like The Hardball Times or MLB Trade Rumors that is nothing but to me that would be a huge improvement. So help a man out here. If you do not know how to use a Reader click here. It will be the best decision you ever make, to create a Reader that is. Adding me to your ...
Amalie Benjamin of the Boston Globe and the
rest of the Globes staff have been doing a
great job covering the action in Fort Myers. Yesterday she put up an article where she discussed several former and current Sox prospects including Jed Lowrie and Manny Delcarmen. What she had to say about Chris Carter was the most interesting part of the piece. She said: (continued...)
Now, like all baseball fans, I still enjoy
a good list. So I thought to myself, what
would be a cool list. The answer was found over at Sox Prospects’. Fans over there are discussing breakout stars and the potential Top Prospects at this time last year. What a great idea. This is something that I can do. (continued...)
Who does not like a theme? Right. While
the theme starting to develop here is referencing PECOTA.
Lets keep that gravy train rolling and look at what PECOTA thinks about the Red Sox Minor League defense. (continued...)
The Red Sox recently signed Sean Casey to
be the teams back up first baseman. The question
is whether the Red Sox could have done better with in-house options? The short of the matter is probably. The long of the matter starts here. (continued...)
I am currently participating in a Fantasy Draft
that revolves solely on players in the Red Sox
minor league system. I’m in competition with some really bright guys, including the mods of Sox Prospects and David Laurila of Baseball Prospectus. We are entering the 4th round and I need some help. (continued...)
Personally, I was extremely excited when the Sox
signed Lee Gronkiewicz because of the potential. From everything
I see, he should have been give more of a chance in Toronto. He has major league talent but nearly no experience. This seem like it could be Gronkiewicz chance to make a serious contribution on a major league team. Lets look at his PECOTA projection and see what i am talking about:
