If this is it, is that the end of former Expos in the majors?The fountain of youth has apparently run dry. Bartolo Colon DFA by the Braves.
He's the last one, so yes.If this is it, is that the end of former Expos in the majors?
Yes, he did. However, not only those were his only two home runs with the Sox that season ... they were his only hits that September in 16 at batsI remember him being plugged into the middle of the order in the final series in Baltimore in a desperate attempt to save the 2011 season (he homered twice in game 161 I believe). What happened to the power he showed for a couple years there?
If you really want to cherry pick, from 8.24.11 to 8.7.12 he had 21 PAs, and all he hit were those two home runs. (To be fair, there was a walk and a sac fly in there.)Yes, he did. However, not only those were his only two home runs with the Sox that season ... they were his only hits that September in 16 at bats
Lavarnway wound up with 5 home runs with the sox between 2001 and 10 hitless at-bats in 2014
More notably, he and Breslow formed the first all-Yale/all-Jew battery in Sox history.Yes, he did. However, not only those were his only two home runs with the Sox that season ... they were his only hits that September in 16 at bats

CLEVELAND — Indians manager Terry Francona underwent a procedure to correct an irregular heartbeat that sidelined him for a few games and will keep him away from the All-Star Game next week.
The 58-year-old Francona, who had been experiencing dizziness, fatigue and a rapid heart rate over the last month, had a cardiac ablation performed on Thursday at the Cleveland Clinic.
Francona has been hospitalized and undergoing tests since Tuesday, when he was admitted after doctors detected an arrhythmia when reading a monitor the manager has been wearing for several weeks.
The Indians said Friday that Francona is resting comfortably in the hospital and is expected to be discharged in a “day or two.”
His health will prevent him from managing the American League squad in Miami next week. Indians bench coach Brad Mills, who has been filling in while Francona has been ill, will likely manage the AL team, which includes five Cleveland players.
He's expected to start at third tonight. He was playing second in AAA. So I expect the disastrous third base defense he had in Boston to still be in place.Moncada will be called up to the White Sox today according to a few reports that I saw
They do, but it's not like those starters are in top form in spring training, at least compared to mid-season.Honest question:
Do major league teams have their starters face their prospects during side sessions? Or do they never really face major league pitching until they reach the show?
Maybe I'm wrong but I feel like the gap between minor league pitching and major league pitching—even fourth or fifth starter types—is pretty substantial.
Make that 23 home runs, now with a .943 OPS. I know he struggled mightily in the second half but he was great the first couple months last year, and the power sure looked legit. This is looking like a pretty serious blunder by DD.Travis Shaw hits his 22nd home run tonight. He is slugging .574. It is July 22nd and Shaw has not yet turned into a pumpkin.
3 walks and 6 k's in the time.Moncada with an 0 for 2 today pls 1 BB and 1 K, now is 2 for 20 (.100) and 6 Ks
I like a trade that helps both teams. Leads to more trades laterMoncada hit one out tonight. Same day as Devers for first career MLB homerun.
Indeed, especially as it came on yet another dominant display from Chris Sale.I like a trade that helps both teams. Leads to more trades later
He was also 0-4 with 3 K's and is now hitting .118
OTOH, Kopech's last 3 games in AA: 20.0ip, 10h, 2er, 4bb/25k, 0.90 ERA, .141/.218/.239.He was also 0-4 with 3 K's and is now hitting .118
Guess they'll just have to deal with a center fielder like JBJ.Beltre hit a double for #3000. Why can't the Red Sox get third basemen like that?
