Johnson has just struggled to stay healthy. No one really knows how Beeks' stuff will play in MLB. Maybe he pitches well, maybe it's batting practice?Originally Posted by Larry Cook
I'd give him a shot in September for sure.

Groome and ball with a rough night,
Dalbec with a tater tonight!
Matta tonight, love this kid's delivery.
6 innings, 6 hits, 1 er, 2 walks, 7 strike outs.
Dalbec with another tater.
Chavis and Travis with dingers tonight (Wed).
With all the creamed jeans over Brentz and his mega HR stretch, he's kind of cooled off over the last 11 games.
10 games without an HR or RBI.
.220 BA
0 for his last 16
For those wanting to play "the hot hands", is Brentz "hot" or not?
Is he a better choice vs LHPs than Young now?
Denyi Reyes very hot the last month or so!
Who knows?
He couldn't do much worse than Young, who has, incredibly, 1 home run and 4 RBI against lefties all year.
You were actually one of the posters who got me all worked up about Brentz...I don't usually even follow the minor league stats.
So take that!
I got excited over Brentz as well, but I was mostly gearing this post towards those who have been using most recent tiny sample sizes to guide their suggestions. O for 15 is really bad, really tiny and really recent.Who knows?

He went 0 for 16 and then hit the game winning RBI in his next at bat. That's ok by me.
Lin has been called up and will be in New York Saturday.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Chavis hit a HR today finished season with 31, but ended in a slump. Finished at .250, last 30 days hit .190. Was hoping he would finish strong up to .298 at one point in Double AA.
So, these are the final numbers...
31 Brentz
31 Chavis
28 Barfield
28 Devers and counting...
He was selling out for power and waiting on fastballs to pull. That's not long term success material.
On the last SoxProspects podcast, they noted how Barfield's HR total is indicative of him just being able to wait for bad pitches and that he'd never see the same flat sliders or poorly located offspeed stuff in MLB.
Thought I heard Chavis going to AFL to play 1st base.
