There seems to be a large organizational change this year focusing on the basics of pitching and fielding. I dont understand how all of a sudden we have 6-7 rookie pen arms that seem to be pretty good at flat out getting guys out.

 

This happened at the lower levels when Buddy Bell took over. The problem is those kind of changes take years to have an effect on the major league team. Also with Ventura coming in, you are seeing the change with the major leaguers who were already here.

The Trib article says we traded Ozzie Martinez to the Dodgers on Monday. For who or what? Anybody know?

 

We traded him for cash. The Sox had removed him from the 40 man roster about a month ago, because he was terrible. When they waived him, no one claimed him. The Dodgers were in a situation where they needed a warm body for AAA, which is why the deal was done.

Seems a bit odd with Heath never getting into a game - or did he and I missed it?

 

It allowed him to pitch during real games while the ASB was going on. It also allowed the Sox to only be paying a major league salary to 24 players during that time.

Yes, he was terrible. I just hadn't heard anything about this.

Sure, but why the switch from Heath to Marinez, both RHP, w/o seeing Heath at the MLB level? A week later they decide they like Marinez better?

I'm thinking they thought Crain or Bruney would be available. When the weren't they couldn't recall Heath because he wasn't down long enough.

Once you send someone down, you aren't allowed to recall them for 10 days without someone going on the DL. This isn't because they like one guy or the other better. It is just roster flexing around the schedule. Marinez will only be here for four days until Humber gets recalled.
