Does anyone really buy his notion that the Sox are great talent evaluators/developers?

NO............... Hawk makes himself look foolish.

How long has it been since the Sox drafted someone who they developed and that player was a solid/above average offensive player for them? Thomas and Ventura?

Sox have to have one of the longest droughts in that department in baseball and Hawk spewing nonsense.

FWIW, Hector's screwball averages about 76mph. It is the pitch that fangraphs categorizes as a split-finger. Hector has talked on the radio about how he uses his changeup out of the bullpen because that's the offspeed pitch that he can find the release point for in a short time. Since he has become a reliever, it has been a pitch he uses about 5-8% of the time. He uses his changeup a lot and it isn't a real good pitch.

Pretty much only Durham, Crede and Rowand....

 

Beckham for 4 months in 2009.

 

Fields at the end of 2007.

FWIW, the defensive positioning tonight has been way off.

 

Everywhere Gillaspie is playing, the ball is going the opposite way...goes toward the line, the ball goes to the hole between 3B/SS. Plays off the line, the ball goes over the bag.

 

Just one of those nights. Santiago's never been able to get into a rhythm...not unlike our offense against Moore.

The terrible trio of lefties off the bench are producing at about NL pitcher level. Please Hahn, do something to help this roster out.

 

The best thing to do would be to pick one and play that person consistently. Then, send Blake Tekotte back to AAA and pick any right handed OFer you can fathomably play in an MLB game and start him against LH SP

We're now on to player #30 on the roster, and that's with 2 guys day to day as well.

 

The best way to help this bench would be to hire Jesus and have him wave some hands over people.
