kwolf68 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 (edited) Dewon Day is in high A ball, but is 25 years old. The Sox acquired him in the Rule 5 AA draft last year from the Blue Jays organization. His component numbers to innings pitched are not bad, but he obviously hasn't done enough to get the next call up to Birmingham. Day was drafted by the Jays in the 26th round in 2002. He seemed to level off as the Jays moved him from A- to A ball and Day entered Dunedin not even among that teams top 10 pitchers. However, in A+ ball with the Sox his stats are better than at any point in the past and Day was actually named best reliever by Southern League managers in a survey conducted by BA. He is an older A ball player so I am not sure what the Sox are seeing. The justification for basically giving away BJ LaMura for nothing was that he was older, yet he is a far better prospect than Day. Now we see the Sox sending Day to AFL. Not sure if this kid is a legit late bloomer or not, but if we as an organization were going to invest in older minor leaguers then BJ LaMura (a guy who had sick AA numbers for us and has great AA numbers for the Dodgers) should have never been dealt for a guy on Social Security who is 3-22 since coming over here.
