Re: 5/20 vs. Kansas City Royals
Great to see Papelbon mixing in a slider...if he can utilize 3-pitches then hitters will stay more honest and he'll have more success (like he can really get a lot better).
Masterson looked great....our youngsters are better than anything the Yankees can produce.

Read on soxprospects.com, that Francona said he's going to AAA.

What he needs to improve are innings at an appropriate level of competition. Double A clearly ain't it. 91 pitches through 6.1 innings of shut out ball at the major league level means you're clearly playing above the heads of your class-AA mates. His AA seasoning should be over.

A sinkerball/sidearm pitcher will give up more hits at AA on groundballs that find holes that don't exist at the MLB level. Tito didn't seem concerned about the recent AA numbers during the press gathering after the game. He did a great job of recognizing last night's performance, then putting it into perspective regarding the kid's ongoing development - including promotion to Pawtucket.

Re: 5/20 vs. Kansas City Royals
how sweet is it that we got 5 guys under 27 who are signed for long term deals and are pitching lights out now...
its fucking valhalla for sox fans and the dessert is the fact that the yankee cant miss prospects are pitching like old people fuck.
