Well, that's a thought. I never want to see him start for the Sox again.

 

Pitchers that throw 95+ and strike out a batter an inning don't grow on trees. If he can focus on making one offspeed pitch good, he'll be serviceable for sure.

Tim Anderson has been worse. Still think he should of repeated Kanny.

I think you have it backwards - Barnum has been much worse than Anderson. I thought the W-S assignment for Barnum was a stretch, Anderson I was sort of on the fence but didn't think it was a big deal.

 

Barnum's line so far: .103/.167/.103, 47.6% K/PA, 7.1% BB/PA in 42 PA. It's still very early, but if he's anywhere near this bad in May or June (depending on how bad for how long), he should go back down to Kanny IMO. But last year at Kanny he did eventually get better, continuously during his time. As long as he starts improving, keep him there.

 

Anderson's line for comparison: .244/.255/.467, 40.4% K/PA, 0 BB in 27 PA. The lack of walks is a potential issue (though we're talking 0 vs 3 here), but he's doing much better than Barnum at this point at the plate. Defensively, Anderson seems to be all over the place good and bad, but that aspect won't really be different between A and A+ in any significant way. I don't see cause to talk about moving Anderson down at this point.

12 K's again from Dash hitters. Gotta be setting some kind of record - perhaps not the best environment for some of these key players to be surrounded by fellow whiff-machines, but what are you going to do?

 

9 walks from Charlotte pitchers doesn't bode well for MLB help this year either.
