So..... did anyone notice that Lancaster lost on Friday night?

To Lake Elsinore.

30-0.

It was 21-0 after 4 innings, and LE scored 6 more runs in the top of the 9th. OUCH!

Kris Johnson's stock has really fallen hard this year

It sure has. You gotta wonder if he's injured or something.

I would trade that for Bowden and Buchholz's performance so far, given that both of them have HUGE upsides and I don't think anyone thought Johnson's was as high. Of course, unfortunately, they aren't mutually exclusive.

all 3 of our 1st round/2nd round (excluding Caleb Clay) have gotten torched pitching for Lancaster. Part of it is Lancaster but they havent exactly been good on the road either. Masteron and Johnson havent switched to SP from MRs very well at all this year. Johnson and Masteron both had ERAs under 1.00 in over 30 IP each least year and looked poised for breakout years.

Michael Bowden is definitely a god.

Aaron Bates went 5/5 with 4 HR. No, that isn't a typo. He's got 13 on the season, but 9 have come at home, so don't forget the grain of salt.

Bubba Bell and Aaron Bates appear to be having really good seasons.

What do we make of these guys? I figuted that the Sox drafted Bates and Anderson last year to ensure that they got some MLB quality talent at the 1B position. It looks like both have been very impressive in that capacity, but Bates' numbers are amazing. I figure you take park effects into account and age and they are comparable players.

Still Bates and Bell have been impressive:

Bates: 66 games--.318 .459 .600 1.059/ 17 HR, 56 RBI
Bell: 62 games--.354 .445 .615 1.060/ 16 HR, 63 RBI

do either of these guys have a future? Bell is 24, Bates 23.

I don't see anyone significant in front of Bates, all the way through the majors. If Youk ends up moving to 3rd might we see Bates get a shot at 1B in 2 seasons if he keeps it up, with Anderson following closely as security?

We talk alot about the top end prospects, but not the mid-level ones who may still have considerable upside.

Brandon Moss would be another one worty of discussion. He has never had an MLB at bat. Worth a shot?

They play at Lancaster, which is a better offensive stadium than that of Coors Field, so I'd remain skeptical until they prove they can hit outside of the California League.

He's 23, and he's raking at AAA. He's got potential to be a starting RF.

soxprospects.com is projecting that Aaron Bates will be the starting 1st baseman for the 08 Paw Sox. At his pace I wouldnt doubt that, but still a long ways away and of course his home park is quite the hitter's park. Optimistic to see where he can take things

sox prospects is on the optimistic side of the neutral line I think. Bates needs to prove he can handle portland before he'll be sent up to Pawtucket.

I agree, and that time should be now. For a guy with college polish, he has little left to prove at A+.

most top notch college talent doesnt for that matter. A+ is a minor proving grounds for them. AA is the big proving grounds. I hope he gets the callup.

This year's offensive breakout player, Bubba Bell, has been promoted to Double A Portland. Lets see if it was just the park doing its damage. Before this year he had never hit more than 3 HRs. He went 1 for 4 in his Sea Dogs debut

Lancaster stats
76 games- 119 for 322 (.376 avg) (.465 obp) (.665 slg) (1.120 ops) 27 Doubles, Triple, 22 HRs, 83 RBIs, 95 Runs, 48 Walks, 39 Ks, 10 SBs
