Pointing out plate discipline is what make Alonso special is complete spot-on. You pro!

Don’t know if you notice or not, but your StU is on a hot streak (Tazawa, Norris, Blanks, Tillman, Latos…the list basically begins from the first issue…)

I’d also like to know how you value Brett Wallace. Since somehow his market value is a bit higher than it should be. Is he a “fast out of minor but slow-to-no power in major” guy (Billy Butler)? or he will be a suddenly contributor in AVG and HR next year? (Longoria)

Keep up the good work!

The Sox have tons of talent, but it will be more fun watching who pans out than some of the games (I am not a huge East coast fan for any team).

The other 3 more “normal” innings averaged out to roughly 20 pitches a piece. As a huge Sox fan, the future looks good for him (for now). As a fantasy player, not this year.

The Strike to ball ratio was excellent. I didn’t mean to make him sound so shaky. He pitched well, he just took a lot of pitches, even with the error to make it 5

He threw 37 in the first inning due to a botched double play with no one getting out and another botched double play resulting in one out. He retired the final 8 I believe and looked sharp after the first inning.

Wallace, Smoak, and Alonso were the better hitters in that draft. However, the best hitter wont be determined for a few more years.
