2009 Red Sox Prospects
November 15, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
From Baseball Prospectus:
Five-Star Prospects
1. Ryan Westmoreland, CF
2. Casey Kelly RHP/SS
Four-Star Prospects
3. Josh Reddick, OF
4. Ryan Kalish, OF
Three-Star Prospects
5. Anthony Rizzo, 1B
6. Jose Iglesias, SS
7. Junichi Tazawa, RHP
8. Michael Bowden, RHP
9. Lars Anderson, 1B
10. Reymond Fuentes, CF
11. Derrik Gibson, 2B/SS
Four More:
12. David Renfroe, RHP/SS: Like Kelly, he’s another big-bonus, two-way star, but Renfroe will begin his career as an infielder, and he projects as a prototypical third baseman due to his size, power potential, and arm.
13. Alex Wilson, RHP: He had a 0.50 ERA in New York-Penn League while giving up just 10 hits in 36 innings, but he’s already 23, so he should dominate. Still, his fastball/slider combo is impressive.
14. Stolmy Pimentel, RHP: The young Dominican righty still has plus command and plenty of projection, but performances have been so-so.
15. Che-Hsuan Lin, LF: Lin’s tools still impress, his defense remains outstanding, his numbers… not so much, but Red Sox officials remain very high on him.
1. Ryan Westmoreland, CF
DOB: 04/27/90
Height/Weight:6-2/195
Bats/Throws: L/R
Drafted/Signed:5th round, 2008, Portsmouth HS (RI)
2009 Stats: .296/.401/.484 at Short-season (60 G)
Last Year’s Ranking: 5
Year in Review: The high-profile over-slot draftee from 2008 did not disappoint in his pro debut.
The Good: One scout described Westmoreland as having “the tools of a top-five high school pick, with the advanced skills of a college player.” Supremely athletic, Westmoreland has average power with projection for more, as well as a keen understanding of the strike zone and a silky smooth swing with some natural lift to it. He’s an outstanding runner with instincts, as indicated by his 19 stolen bases in 60 games for the Spinners without getting caught.
The Bad: Westmoreland had shoulder surgery after signing, and he played in the field for only eight games last year. He had a plus arm in high school, but it’s not completely back yet. His season ended early when he broke his collarbone, so there are some minor concerns about his health record so far. Some of the more advanced left-handers of the New York-Penn League gave him trouble with good breaking balls.
Ephemera: Westmoreland knew how to get things started at Lowell, batting .423/.500/.635 in his first plate appearances over 60 games.
Perfect World Projection: Westmoreland could be the kind of player people thought Grady Sizemore would become.
Path to the Big Leagues: Jacoby Ellsbury is well established in Boston, but it’s too early to worry about that.
Timetable: Westmoreland will make a highly anticipated full-season debut in 2010, beginning the year at Low-A Greenville.

What The Hell Happened To Sammy Sosa
November 6, 2009 by Mike · Leave a Comment
No need to adjust the color on your monitor, this is the actual skin tone of the once beloved slugger, Sammy Sosa. Is this what years of steroid does to you? Or just the onslaught of vitiligo? I know for a fact its not herpes. Definitely not that.

Clemens DNA on McNamee Syringes
March 11, 2009 by SOS · Leave a Comment
Poor Roger, you should have just admitted it and shut the hell up! Now in breaking news Clemens was seen throwing this bat at Brian McNamee’s child, just kidding. NESN was showing Clemens highlights of when he was skinny and then a fat dump and then a giant musclehead. Funny how he went from being the greatest right handed pitcher of all-time (other than Pedro) to being the biggest joke of all time.

“Dinner for One” thinking about a return
America’s least favorite overweight loud mouth, not named Rush Limbaugh, is thinking about pitching in 2009. Schilling said this on ESPN radio:
But if Curt Schilling returns to pitch this season in the major leagues, a comeback likely could involve the American League-champion Tampa Bay Rays or Chicago Cubs.
“The challenge would be in a place like Tampa Bay or Chicago,” the free agent said Saturday in Orlando, Fla.
Schilling, who sat out the 2008 season after undergoing shoulder surgery, said he hasn’t made a decision on coming back.
Schilling was in Florida attending ESPN The Weekend festivities at Walt Disney World.
“I’m hemming and hawing right now,” he said. “I’ll make a decision in the next couple of weeks.”
Schilling put the chances of his return at 20 percent Friday.
“I’m pretty sure I’m not going to, but I’m not positive,” he said, speaking to ESPN Radio’s Erik Kuselias on the “Tirico & Van Pelt” show. “I don’t have to make a decision yet, and I’m just not sure if I want to.”
Cubs general manager Jim Hendry wouldn’t specify whether his team would be interested in Schilling, but he sounded optimistic when discussing the prospect of the 20-year veteran’s return with the Chicago Tribune.
“We’ll always keep our eye on anybody we think can help us,” Hendry told the newspaper. “I have a lot of respect for him. Great pitcher. Great big-game pitcher.”
Schilling, who has a 216-146 career record, declined Friday to say exactly when he would announce his decision.
“I’ll figure it out when I need to figure it out,” he said.
