Pawtucket (80-56) - Clinched at least IL Wild Card, 3.5 games behind SWB (83-52) in IL North (7 games remaining) (Note:
Pawtucket will play 143 games due to cancellations)
Portland (70-61) - 2 games up on Binghamton (70-65) for 2nd in EL Northern (Magic number is 7, 9 games remaining) (note: Portland will play only 140 games due to cancellations) Lancaster (36-24 2nd half, 74-58 overall) - Clinched berth and 1st round bye after winning CAL South in 1st Half. Also clinched overall best record in CAL South, clinching home field in Division Championship round. Lowell (35-26) - 8.5 games up on Oneonta (26-34) in Stedler Div. (Would be 3 behind Jamestown (38-23) in Wild Card) (Magic number is 6, 13 games remaining) Greenville, the GCL Sox, and the DSL Sox have been eliminated from contention.

So odd seeing Buchholz in a gameday thread again. Hopefully, he can turn it around soon.

Are we going to see WML show up in the box score today? Does anyone know if he is with the GCL team?

Pawsox.com lists Pauley as the starter in one place and Hansack as the starter in another. Obviously Pauley is with Boston (at least he was yesterday), and
Hansack is on the DL. A roster move would have to take place if either were to rejoin Pawtucket today.

Please do me a favor: Don't worry about Clay Buchholz's process at Double AA and have you all scream for his MLB call up if he's doing well.
I noticed that Carson Blair (fast start) & Pete Hissey already started out @ GCL but not from RWML, Wilson, Cervenka & Stroup. What's up with them? Are they not ready for it or wait out for next season? |

When guys report after being signed, there are usually drug tests, physicals, and the like that need to happen first. In addition, I'm sure there could be
little nagging injuries the team wants to take care of, or the player could be working on something on the side with the coaching staff before entering game
action.
To specifically answer your question, we don't know what exactly the deal is, but this kind of thing is par for the course.

Westmoreland tweeked his shoulder a bit and he won't get to see action in the final days of the season. Nothing serious, just a precaution.

Well 'buster, we know Lavarnway is a special player if he can start a game with a grand slam!! Even Lars would have trouble doing that!

Has anyone seen Strickland pitch? He's done fairly well as a whole this season and has been even better as of late. He's now put together a run of 7
strait solid outings. He is a perfect example of a guy that can be quickly over looked in a system as deep as the Red Sox. He received a six figure bonus which
leads me to believe there might be something there. Any opinions?

The second time was a bit better and at the beginning of this present run of solid outings I believe. His fastball has some good extra life on it when it is up in the 93 area. His slider had some solid action on it and the change was "developing." That's a buzz word for all of the Lowell pitchers in regards to the change. There is a difference in his fastball when it is 89-90 vs. 93. Flat when it is in the lower range and has some hop when it is faster. I liked his arm, but thought at the time he could get more drive out of his delivery. I would say "there is something there" to quote you, Chavo, and this current run of outings has shown some nice developmental strides for the season. |

M. Celery, I wonder if Clay was brooding over the demotion because he was disappointed in himself rather than in the Sox for sending him down? He really sailed
through the minors relatively easily, so I suspect it's a shock to be kicked in the teeth like that at the last level. It's easy to say "No sweat,
it happens to a lot of players" ..... until it happens to you.
