Hickey looks bulkier than I remembered from seeing him in Portland.
If he really fills out, he could hit his ceiling as a LHH Mike Napoli.

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound hurler struck out three of the 10 batters he faced and induced six swings-and-misses on the 42 pitches (27 strikes) he threw. He averaged 93.4 mph and topped out at 94.3 mph with his four-seam fastball while mixing in a high-80s changeup, a low-80s slider and curveball, and a high-80s sinker, per Baseball Savant.

In making his WooSox debut on Sunday, Kwiatkowski joined fellow righty Brian Van Belle as the only other undrafted free agent signed by the Red Sox in 2020 to make it as far as Triple-A. Of the 16 undrafted free agents Boston signed in the wake of the COVID-shortened draft that summer, Kwiatkowski, Van Belle, and Juan Montero (a catcher with Low-A Salem) are all who still remain in the organization.

Been a bit up & down for Hagenman this season, but hopefully he settles into the role.

VLAD is an interesting shoutout. His control has been awful since he got here - 8 walks in 6 innings.

"impressive" and "standing out" aren't necessarily synonymous with "performing well".
But the write up on Vlad is that his stuff at least is definitely impressive and stands out. There's so many of those throughout professional baseball history that never amounted to anything however

That makes total sense. The Devers and Casas injuries showed how brutally thin the depth in the org is at first and third, and it never hurts to have another OF-capable player in the system. And assuming Grissom clicks at second, there's no path to playing time for Valdez there anyway. Might as well increase the roster versatility.

I don't know if this is the best place to ask this, but I want to take my 9yr old daughter to her first baseball game this spring/summer and decided that the WooSox is better than going to see the Red Sox since I have no clue at all if she will enjoy it or not (and Worcester is right next door to me).
Is there any particular section I should be looking for that is ideal for a first experience? I assume I can get all the junk food I could want for her, so really, I'm just asking about good seats vs bad seats.

The seats are all pretty decent for viewing in my experience. From an experience standpoint, and if it's a hot sunny day, I'd recommend staying off the Worcester Wall. It's often inhabited by drunken college students and gets brutally hot with no shade.

Sections 1-16 (infield, under the upper deck so you get good shade) are obviously great seats, but more expensive ($30-45). Easy access to concessions and bathrooms

The berm and general admission area by the berm are actually pretty nice too. No shade, but sitting in the cool grass with a drink, watching a game is pretty sweet.

The Hanover deck and bullpen terraces are nice, but depending on where you end up, it might be hard to actually see the game for her as the fencing and the people standing against it can obscure the view for tables that are further back from the edge.

Thanks! That's exactly the type of info I'm looking for...and yeah, I don't want to be sitting amongst a group of obnoxious college students if I can help it even if my daughter already knows all the swear words (yeah ok...sometimes Daddy lets them slip out).
