maggsmaggs Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 B-ham murdering Huntsville. Valido having a great game with a homer and triple, not to mention Liotta's pitching performance so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 I feel like I am talking to myself , but Liotta's no-no (perfect game actually) was broken up in the fourth by Steve Moss of Huntsville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes on a grounder to Valido that wasn't handled well call could have went either way (hit or E). Then he strike's out Greg (I homer or K) Sain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBetsy Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Heck of a game for F. Hernandez (forgot his first name) down at Kanny. 4 for 4, hitting .353 to start the season. It's good for him to get off to a great start. Derek Rodriguez put up a great line for Kanny, too. With the exception of Redding, excellent pitching for the Sox minor leaguers tonight.

There is going to be a lot of low scoring games for our double A team this year when you look at their offense too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Hitting-wise, the guys I'd really like to see "breakout" this year are Valido and Hernandez. I've heard rave reviews (at different times) about both guys, and what I like best is that they are supposed to be pretty solid defensive players (I am correct in saying that, yes?). Defense is becoming more and more sought after, as more and more comes out on how exactly to measure it. It'd be nice, for a change, to have the Sox develop some good-fielding, good-hitting middle infielders (and catchers) rather than outfielders. Obviously, there's a lot more value if you can hit and play catcher than if you can hit and play RF. It also breaks down nicely with Hernandez and Pierzynski, too. The three year contract to Pierzynski gives Hernandez a pretty decent amount of time to get through A-ball and AA (and, if necessary, Charlotte). One more question about another catcher, Chris Stewart. He had a pretty decent year at Birmingham last season, and he could prove to be pretty valuable as a backup catcher in the near future. But, how's his defense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Defense is the best part of his game and his hitting became a good suprise last year. He added 20 extra pounds in the 04-05 off-season and hit 11 bombs (9 away from the Met) and he should have better numbers at Charlotte. By the numbers last night it looks like the Barons are glad to be on the road which has been the case for every Barons team I watched, they struggle early at home trying to get use to the Met.
