Vazquez and Benintendi missing from lineups tonight, that should be enough to rent Josh Reddick.

Devers with another homer in Salem. Might have the highest ceiling bat in minor league baseball, comfortably ahead of Benintendi on my list.
With numbers like that he should be in the "coulda been" conversation.
Ah for the placement of a .
Including the apparent decision to start playing Moncada at 3rd. Assuming we don't trade these guys, Moncada at 3rd would seem to be only a temporary position given how well Devers is playing. It doesn't hurt to give Moncada experience at other positions but I wonder if Devers rise makes outfield Moncada's more likely future position (and Bradley the odd man out when he, X and Mookie are up for big contracts)
Yeah 4-4 two doubles two hr. In the 5th and moncada has a single, double, walk and triple.
Damn fellas

At what point is Benintendi's most likely current ML line worth bumping Holt back to Utility guy? Doesn't seem like he's got much left to prove in AA, is AAA enough of a jump to actually give useful info at this point?
Or he might just go straight to Boston. He boss has already said he's fine with that move.
Maybe he wanted to talk to the kid first or see that there were no issues when he took groundballs there? You can't always tell the press the whole truth

A lot of 99 w/ life from Kopech. 11 first pitch strikes to 13 batters; CH 86-88; fade. SL 86-89; tilt, late break. Attacking the zone often.

Teddy Stankiewicz .@teddystank29 with the first 9-inning, one-hit shutout in team history. #SeaDogsBaseball beats Erie 3-0
Mets top ranked pitching draft selections:
2009: Steven Matz
2010: Matt Harvey
2011: Michael Fulmer
2012: Teddy Stankiewicz (unsigned)
Hoping some of that magic rubbed off on him.
Was at Sea Dogs game tonight. Disappointed not to see AB or Moncada (who sat for some reason) but Dubon had a great night, roped two doubles to center and left respectively, drove in 2 of the 3 runs, handled his few chances smoothly. Stankiewicz threw a one hit CGSO, though he gave up some pretty hard contact... we weren't really seated in a spot where I could say much more than that about the pitching.
I'm surprised we aren't seeing Dubon moving up the mid season rankings yet. A few years ago he was voted the best defensive SS in the system, and now he's hitting .300 with some walks and doubles. At least for the Sox after all the trades he must be firmly in the top 10 right?
Close? Depends where you rank guys like Johnson, Basabe, Ockimey, Travis, etc. Limited ceiling though. He is Moncada's translator, or one of them anyway.
Has there been any word on Hanley's injury from last night? Would Moncada even be the call up if he was DL'd? (Shaw to first and YM to 3rd)
For those of you curious when or even if Groome will debut this year, I found this recent article (from this Tuesday): "With the minor league season almost over, the Red Sox have had Groome training in Fort Myers. They hope he pitches one to three starts in low Class A Lowell, Massachusetts, before the season ends"

That's pretty irregular. A high schooler debuting in Lowell. He must be showing some tremendously advanced stuff.
He is back in there today, it looks like just a couple of days off. He may have been a little nicked up.
