This is not a "look at the one that got away!" thread -- quite the opposite. I went looking for familiar names in the AAA and AA statistics and found a lot of ex-Sox farmhands, but precious few who are any good.
Catchers: Robert Machado is hitting .317 with 3 HR for Ottawa. Mark Johnson is hitting .244 with no HR for Indianapolis. And Humberto Quintero, who we traded for D'Angelo Jimenez, is batting .277 with 2 HR for Portland.
First base: Jeff Liefer is hitting .329 with 10 HR for Indianapolis when not locked in the bathroom.
Second base: Not much to choose from. Aaron Miles is batting .361 at Colorado Springs -- does anyone know if he got sent down or is on a rehab assignment? Jimenez and Hummel are, of course, with the Reds.
Short: Danny Sandoval is batting .284 with 3 HR for Tulsa.
Third: Jim Terrell is batting .243 with 2 HR for Wichita, and he's all I could find. This hasn't really been that lean a position for us; Ventura, Lee, Norton, and Crede are all still in the majors. And then there was Snopek.
Outfield: McKay Christensen actually has 17 at-bats for Louisville (.294). Daylan Holt has 45 for Las Vegas (.311). Brian Simmons (.214), Alex Fernandez (.267), Julio Ramirez (.268), Chad Durham (.260), and Jason Aspito (.288) are all getting regular playing time somewhere.
Starters: Robert Ellis (3-3, 5.33), Matt Guerrier (2-4, 3.18), Kevin Olsen (3-3, 4.61), and Tim Bittner (4-1, 3.59) have all pitched 50+ innings. Joe Valentine is 2-1, 5.71 in 34.2 innings for Louisville, and Jim Parque is 1-1, 5.65 for Tucson.
Bullpen: Royce Ring (1-1, 3.38), Aaron Myette (2-1, 3.58), and Scott Dunn (2-2, 3.70) are the only ones who have pitched 18+ innings with an ERA under 4. They have one save between them. Kevin Tolar (1-0, 4.50, 13.5 strikeouts per nine innings for Iowa) has also pitched pretty well, but he's got to be in his thirties by now. Gary Glover's ERA is 6.41, Bobby Howry's is 7.04, Edwin Almonte's at 8.27.
