I called this too, but I don't think I did it here http://www.baseballthinkfactory.org/files/sox_therapy/discussion/weekly_minor_league_thread_interesting_developments_in_pawtucket/ -- A few pretty interesting things are going on at Pawtucket right now. First, Brandon Moss is expected to be used at first base soon, which could mean any number of things. Perhaps they think that his bat is for real and want to prepare to give him at shot at winning that job next year. Or maybe they consider him a bench player who could take over the role that Eric Hinske currently handles. Another possibility is that another team has shown interest in him as a 1B. -- -- The next item is Jed Lowrie’s promotion to AAA. The move makes sense, of course, because Lowrie has been consistently excellent at AA this year and, at 23, is ready to tackle the next level. I think there are also a couple reasons to think that the Red Sox are happy with his defense at SS. First, he ’s been playing behind two of their most promising pitchers, Buchholz and Bowden, for much of the year. I don’t think they would want to have a sieve at short when those guys are on the mound. Second, they are likely to need a 3B next year if Lowell departs. If there was any question about Lowrie’s defense at SS, wouldn’t they want to find out if he could play 3B? -- -- The last interesting development at AAA is the reemergence (probably too strong of a word) of Craig Hansen. Since July 15, he’s put up this line: 5 G, 9.2 IP, 10 H, 1 ER, 0 HR, 2 BB, 13 K. Some have attributed this to him rediscovering the slider that was his calling card in college. It would be nice if he was able to contribute in a setup role in 08. -- MASAHIDE KOBAYASHI DAMMIT -- 我的英文不是很好 我的中文不是很好 我的法文不是很好 但是連我的韓文都比隔壁姊姊的英文好 --
