I heard that handsome devil @b_lake made an appearance. Did he ever reveal what the B stands for?

Is it Bryce?

Cherington tried to trade JBJ to Seatttle for Charlie Furbush. LOL. Not even Jack Z is that stupid.

its up there with how-shaver and kuntz.

brian johnson in AAA gets the call soon, hes been lights out down there...and hes 24, its time.

eduardo rodriguez who we got from baltimore for andrew miller is next.

henry "dont call me spike" owens is much better of late but his control has been iffy this year to start..and hes labeled as a control guy.

You know, my first encounter with you was when we were discussing the Red Sox PR smear campaigns against former Red Sox or players on their way out and I said that you might be one of the first non-biased Red Sox fans I'd ever come across.

Is it too late to take that back?

why?

i didnt say anything to warrant such cruel punishment!

It's all fun and game until someone loses an eye!

I cannot for the life of me recall where I saw this kid play, it was definitely a minor league park somewhere (possibly at a Savannah Sand Gnats game), but his name was Stubby Clapp.

the bullpen didnt suck last night

or kelly

i thought i was dreaming.

So nice to actually have the Red Sox play at a time when I can watch the game. Then I saw it was Kelly pitching and I feared I might be wasting my time. He actually looked pretty good. I still think his future is in the bullpen, but he was fine last night. Koji getting in a nice groove, too. One thing overlooked about this Sox team is they actually play really good defense. They were great last night.

Looks very promising...I question the decision to only promote him to a "better" A team after doing so well in the Midwest League when he was 18, but it looks like he must have been hurt for most of that season, anyway. He's a big guy for a SS, almost as tall as Ripken.

I have Buxton in my ML slot. Is Correa closer to making an impact?? When are the Twins going to bring Buxton up??

LOL! I remember him. Cardinals, I think?

I"m kind of bummed that Jung Bong didn't stick.

Buxton is at AA and not exactly lighting the league on fire (.244/.306/.450). At least Correa has made it up to AAA.

I liked Pork Chop Pough and Wonderful Terrific Mons III.

Yes, that's the guy!

Stubby Clapp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Currently a minor league coach, and evidently a Memphis Redbirds legend - they retired his number. I guess I saw him in Memphis, then, but I'm still not sure.

So much for that! Someone already has Correa in my league. I have my worries on Buxton by now. I fear he's going to be the next Jurickson Profar or Jesus Montero. Maybe I'm better off with Sano.

You could have used him out there last night after watching Rickie Weeks play the OF!

I bet he gets more ludicrous offers than any other GM based on his track record of getting hoodwinked.

You can probably find other good fielding OFers who hit .000 for cheaper
