I think that he will not be getting a chance to be our CF anytime soon.
He will be in AAA to start 2015 and he will stay there except for an occasional cup of coffee.
He will get a chance to win the starting job in Spring Training.
He will be the Red Sox 4th Outfielder and defensive specialist.
He will never again wear a major league uniform for the Red Sox.
Cherrington just said Castillo is the starting CF. JBJ isn't ready to be on the 2015 team anyway.
Weren't Castillo's Cuba numbers pretty unimpressive? Seems like a pointless signing to me.
"Castillo, 27, hit .319 with 75 doubles, 11 triples, 51 home runs, 99 walks, 256 runs scored, and 76 stolen bases in 360 games over five seasons in Cuba’s major league" EEI
Hopefully that's around .270/.330/.400 in MLB
Bardley will be in Pawtucket to start 2015 ( although he will be in ST ) or he will be dealt this winter or next season.
He still has value.
If JBJ could ever find a swing that will work for him he would be a CF that a lot of teams would have interest in.
I think JBJ will be in Triple A, WMB will be gone.
Agreed...I hope for him he can make it work. I saw him play back in Single A and he's always been a pretty exciting player to watch. Just hope he finds his swing.
If JBJ every finds his stroke I don't think it will be in a Red Sox uniform.
