Not sure if this should be in a different thread; if so, mods, feel free…..
Anyway, thinking about the young starting pitching in the Sox' organization. Namely, in Boston and Pawtucket.
Rodriguez (22)
- Paw: 2.98 era, 1.10 whip, 8.2 k/9
- Bos: 0.61 era, 0.61 whip, 8.6 k/9
Barnes (25)
- Paw: 4.15 era, 1.54 whip, 9.7 k/9
- Bos: 2.03 era, 1.73 whip, 7.4 k/9
Wright (30) - doesn't count as "young", but he's still "new" for the Red Sox MLB club
- Paw: 3.24 era, 1.44 whip, 9.4 k/9
- Bos: 3.90 era, 1.27 whip, 4.9 k/9
Johnson (24)
- Paw: 2.60 era, 1.07 whip, 9.3 k/9
Owens (22)
- Paw: 3.15 era, 1.33 whip, 7.0 k/9
These five guys were Pawtucket's opening day starting five. Three are performing well in Boston (Rodriguez, Barnes, Wright), and the other two are doing pretty well in Pawtucket. Then there are the three main younger guys who have been with Boston all season:
Porcello (26)
- Bos: 5.01 era, 1.27 whip, 7.1 k/9
Miley (28)
- Bos: 4.97 era, 1.42 whip, 5.5 k/9
Kelly (27)
- Bos: 5.83 era, 1.46 whip, 7.7 k/9
I'm pleased with the Pawtucket starting five. I have hopes that Owens can be a contributor with Boston by the time he's 24 (2017). Maybe a year sooner if he has a really good second half of 2015. I think Rodriguez is probably here to stay. I think Wright is pretty useful. Barnes will likely end up a bullpen arm for the major league club the rest of this year and perhaps his career. Johnson can be a solid major leaguer as well, I think, but he may end up being trade bait. Porcello, Kelly, and Miley still have enough upside for me to be kind of optimistic. Though perhaps a good move would be to deal Kelly and Johnson and another piece to someone who has an "ace" with a big contract that they'd be willing to move. Maybe Cueto or someone like that.
