Duds
These are guys who played poorly
Sandy Leon- .216/.310/.365 in 74 AB with us. We are hoping that this is just error of sample size. He also has lackluster Fielding Stats since he got here
Adam Rosales-Sure he is a 1 star player but he is still only hitting .235/.284/.401.
Jake Smolinski-Again, a guy with not very high expectations and he has a small sample size of 52 AB but he is hitting .173/.182/.192
Phil Klein-8.10 ERA in 19 games
Anthony Bass- 7.79 ERA in 14 Games
Alex Claudio- 6.95 ERA in 23 games
Prospects to watch
3B Joey Gallo-1.5/5. Will definitely be up come September and is a top 3 option for promotion
C Jorge Alfaro-1/5. No MLB action. Might see it in September even though we have 3 other Catchers in the Minors.
RF Nomar Mazara-1/4.5. Might see September action. Down low on the list for promotion
SS Josh Morgan- 1/5. He has been promoted until we can find a solid Shortstop promoted. Only played 6 games in Major League
RF Michael Choice- He has also been promoted. He is hitting .371/.405/.657 in 35 ABs. His rating has gone down to a 1/4
MR Jake Thompson-Hasn't seen any MLB action. Will probably fall of the Prospect Watch List as he has fallen to a .5/4
MR Alex Claudio- 1.5/5. Saw 23 Games but had a 6.95 ERA
2B Rougned Odor-3.5/4.5. Is batting a .248/.288/.405 which is fairly dissapointing. He has decent defensive stats with a +2.4 zone rating and a 1.019 efficiency rating
CF Delino DeShields JR-2.5/3.5. Falling ratings might lead to him coming off the prospect watch along with the fact that he is kind of a permanent major leaguer and is done in the minor leagues. Batting .274/.312/.394
MR Roman Mendez-4/4.5. Has a 4-3 record with 2 saves and a 3.02 ERA
SS Jurickson Profar-Injured for year
Traded Players Update
Adrian Beltre- Has fallen to 3.5/3.5. Batting .240/.277/.362
Yeyson Yrizarri-Hasn't played
Nick Williams-Hasn't played
Hanser Alberto-Hasn't played
Derek Holland-1.5/1.5. Pitching a 1-1 record with a 3.94 ERA
Lewis Brinson-1/4. He hasn't played
Ross Detwiler-.5/.5. Has played one game with SD
Travis Demeritte-Hasn't played
Tanner Scheppers-Hasn't played
Juremi Profar-Hasn't played
Antoan Richardson-Hasn't played
Jedd Gyorko-Has improved in Boston batting .292/.333/.500
Nick Williams-Hasn't played
Kyuji Fujikawa-in 17 games has a 3.2 ERA.
The Boston Red Sox trade was the one trade where we "lost" you could say. Sandy Leon has been dissappointing. Dustin Pedroia got injured, and Brian Johnson hasn't played but has good potential while Kyuji has been playing good for Boston, Gyorko has improved and Nick Williams is a solid prospect
