3. There’s a lovefest around here with Red Sox prospects. It’s fun to project what they might become, but as we’ve found out with other hyped (by local media) Sox prospects, let’s reserve judgment until they show us what they can do. Unfortunately, the hype machine is already churning on lefthander Henry Owens and, before long, shortstop of the futureDevin Marrero, who has been promoted to Pawtucket.
4. Why can’t people just say Stephen Drew is off to a disappointing start rather than hurling personal insults at him? Red Sox fans should be better than that. After June 1 of last season, Drew hit .273 with a .824 OPS, and he helped the Sox to a championship. Only five shortstops had OPSs above .750 as of Friday: Troy Tulowitzki (1.049), Hanley Ramirez(.828), Starlin Castro (.804). Jhonny Peralta (.764), and Brandon Crawford (.755).
Cafardo consistently dogged Drew last year for not being Iglesias.CoffeeNerdness said:Lol.
Didn't Cafardo consistently dog Drew in his AZ days for being slow to return from his ankle injury?

Henry Owens, LHP, Pawtucket — With the Red Sox’ top pitching prospect now in Triple A and primed to get two months’ worth of starts
I'd be surprised if Owens doesn't get a couple of starts in September. Some of the younger pitchers in the rotation will be running into innings limits.mt8thsw9th said:I doubt that's in the team's plans. Also, Nick was saying his two months in Pawtucket this year could possibly mean he'd be considered for the rotation next year.

No sense in him taking up a 40-man spot when it can be used for more pressing concerns like Swihart...
Humphrey said:Today: "The Mariners should seek to add a DH/1B who’s better than Kendrys Morales."
How many months did Nick fellate this guy?
Morales has averaged .280 with 27 homers and 90 RBIs with an .813 on-base percentage in his career.
Well, plus, he wrote .813 "on-base percentage..."mt8thsw9th said:
His career was really only 2009, 2012, and 2013 when you're looking at full seasons, so I was curious if he actually got that total from b-ref's 162 game average feature (162 games which is something Morale has done zero times). He did, and outside of not clarifying what he was referencing to with "his career", he also fit in a typo (it was 91 RBI per 162 games).
6. Please, please adopt Red Sox chairman Tom Werner’s pace of game suggestions. And let’s add one more: limit shifts. They’re limiting offense when the game needs it.

He did it again today, and it's at least the 3rd time he's mentioned it. You're not a scout Nick, stop pretending that you know what you're talking about.
Well, it's finally too late to bring up "teammates" wishing Drew was playing over Bogaerts. Or Iglesias playing over Drew. Or Bobby Valentine. Or Jason Bay coming back.Smiling Joe Hesketh said:Is Nick really planning on mentioning Castillo's 4.2 to first time in every goddamn article he's going to write going forward?

The Gray Eagle said:From yesterdays' Sunday baseball notes:
"1. What is grass for? To be stepped on? Not at Camden Yards. You get yelled at for doing it. Must be some groundskeeper inferiority complex. It just reinforces how good Dave Mellor’s Fenway lawn is compared with others."
Hahahaha, looks like someone got yelled at for walking on the field. Well Nick Cafardo won't take that! Don't those groundskeepers know who he is? They will PAY when he shames them in his influential column.
