flavum Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Nick Giarraputo was released. I think he was originally going to W-S. Maybe this makes room for Eric Grabe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridafan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think it is interesting how players are assigned to rosters then cut, as opposed to just releasing them after ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was wondering that myself. MiLB rosters are anything, but stable so get used to it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnSoxFan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Brackman now on W-S DL. Also appears they picked up a 3Bman named Jeremy Farrell. Edited April 6, 2013 by MnSoxFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just what the Sox need, a 26-year old 3B at high-A. That's John Farrell's son, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like he was on mid year All Star team in Eastern League, in fact 3 years he has been an all-star. His stats do not really reflect that.

floridafan Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 It sure warms the heart to see another third baseman each week! Not going to have a shortage there anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not going to have a shortage there anymore. Buddy Bell made it clear that they weren't happy with their infield depth or quality at the minor league level. I guess them bringing in more live bodies makes some sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Despite the Sox old minor league system, Carlos Sanchez is the youngest player in the International League. He's off to a good start. Courtney Hawkins is the 3rd youngest player in the Carolina League. He's starting off slow, but probably trying too hard. I hope somebody just tells him that he's playing 130 games in Winston-Salem this year, and 130 games in Birmingham next year, and to just enjoy it. I could be completely wrong, but I think guys like Trout and Harper are probably getting in prospects heads now, making them think they can get to the big leagues a year or two out of high school.
