Hopefully he is good enough, because as of now, he might be shortstopping in Boston in 15 months...

My top 10 for the day....
1. D Hernandez
2. B. Mata
3. D Feltman
4. T Casas
5. J Groome
6. B Dalbec
7. A Flores
8. T Lakins
9. M Chavis (to be traded)
10. D Diaz
I'm just not a believer in Mata. I hope I'm wrong. It would be nice to develop some starters for once.

It's been discussed before, but it seems like Trey Ball will still pitch here and there. He hasn't completely given up pitching.
He is irrelevant now
Hal sucks
Get to see Dalbec this year, saw him a couple years back in Lowell, see how much improvement in him. Looking more at his Fielding then anything.

Outside organization, cant wait till Guerrero, makes it up North.

He’s 24. Not exactly prospect age anymore and he’s been fairly slow and ineffective most of his career. But the idea of OF/P is apparently becoming a new thing, ever since Shohei Otani showed that it doubles your chance for injury.
Matt Davidson is trying to add pitching to his repertoire. Michael Lorenzen is trying to add outfield to his. Is this some crazy new trend? Or will it disappear faster than the careers of Brooks Kieschnick and Christian Bethancourt?
It may end up being a trend, but Ball isn't good at either. You have to be a good enough pitcher to get innings. Ball has sucked ass as a pitcher
Hal sucks
Ball hasn’t done much as a starter and one season as a reliever, but it might be early to say he can’t hit,too. He only has 9 career minor league at bats...
It wouldn't be following a trend if a hitter cannot pitch. It would be the norm. Maybe he can hit, who knows.
Hal sucks
As a pitcher, he might have a shot as a LOOGY. But it probably won’t happen until after the Sox finally release him at some point...

Good article.
ty - I enjoyed that article. i also enjoyed reading up on Sale a little as well. when he says that he has the whip back in that arm action, it bodes well for us heading to spring training.
