fathom Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 It's a good thing the ball wasn't jumping out of the park tonight. Salty and Middlebrooks both might have tied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 QUOTE (bbilek1 @ May 20, 2013 -> 10:12 PM) I was surprised by the choice but the Rookie ST Party is Wednesday. Anyone else going? If I could teleport like in Star Trek from China to USCF, I would gladly do it!! I'll try to make it to a game between June 16th and the end of July when I'm back home in Iowa.

For a 6th starter filling in, and a guy who was released and signed as a minor league FA from the scrap heap... yeah, I'd say he's been a very nice acquisition. He's a major league starter.

He's a major league starter. Axelrod as a starter at the MLB level: 19 games, 108.1 IP, 4.32 ERA, 75 K, 35 BB, 1.33 WHIP, 14 HR Personally, that looks like a 4th starter to me. It's not a large sample size by any means (which his minor league numbers are, and those are phenomenal), but there's enough there for some stabilization. The Sox have a lot of talent in their rotation, but Axelrod really should be in a rotation somewhere in the majors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember how good Phil Humber looks for 15-20 starts? Here's where I see things differently. Humber in AAA - 104 G (93 GS), 527 IP, 4.70 ERA, 403 K, 164 BB, 1.37 WHIP Axelrod in AAA - 31 G (31 GS), 188.1 IP, 2.58 ERA, 167 K, 52 BB, 1.10 WHIP You can compare their other minor league numbers too and Axelrod is far superior. There might be some John Ely to Axelrod's game, and the second or third go around the league may start to destroy him, but I absolutely think he's a 4th starter in the majors. I wouldn't be surprised if he faded off into the distance - righties with 89 MPH fastballs don't often make it in the majors - just that I think he absolutely deserves a shot.
